I think 15+ seconds is too much. I think it should be at 10 seconds or allow the empowering to reduce the cool down time a little bit more than it already does. You know, you really shouldn't attack other peoples opinions. I don't mind discussing mind but you're just flat out attacking me. Cool down, its just a game and its just my opinion on a class in that game.
I, as a cleric, kill a Harkan in roughly thirty seconds on my own.

A mage friend of mine kills in 15 seconds. Same level too.

Therefore, it can be assumed that the mage does roughly 2x damage per spell, as it's basically one spell 1 second vs. one hit per 1.3 seconds, including error for time inconsistencies, and factoring out critical hits.

The actual numbers are this: Me: 125, Mage: ~235, according to him.

No other class comes even close to doing that much damage in one hit.
