Chain-linked belt of vindication lost duration increment 7 and gained healing increment 7 in the last patch. This is really bad because many beastlords and rangers and other classes to whom duration increment is hard to come by were using this item for a long time as their duration increment item. I am one of those people, and I would love for duration increment 7 to come back on this item because now I have no duration increment item because I was counting on this item to have my duration increment.

Can we please have duration increment restored on this item, please?

Thank you.

I was going to make a chillville post of a guy holding up a lighter at a concert about this. RIP dur inc.
 
It is just rough having a well-established item with a focus switched to some other focus when it was really useful before. I'm all for giving people more hi7 options but doing it at the expense of this focus makes me weepy.
 
Yeah that should be stressed. This could possibly be the most optimal choice for HI7 in all of SoD, but I can name a handful of people that this took DI from altogether. Also I definitely asked for duration increment to be put on in place of another focus effect recently (after damage inc)!

Duration Inc might be a focus that people want replaced but not this duration increment :(

edit: to be more clear most buff classes have an abundance of duration increment items, but this really adversely impacts those that only have a couple of options for duration increment.

Pretty please Zaela Dur Inc back on the belt and HI on the bracer!
 
Also is the bracer you mean Thazeran's Battleworn Wristguard? Cause that would be even more :(

Focus effects are nothing but a pain for players; at a certain point they become absolutely necessary because of how powerful they are, and so all your gear has to be planned with them in mind. Getting more hp or mana when you have a lot is a static bonus with progressively smaller percentage gains, whereas flat percentage bonuses make larger numerical differences the more xp or gear you have. What I mean by this is that it's not just a matter of personal opinion, it's just the best choice you have to maintain focus effects over a pretty fomelo. The same goes for flowing thought, crit strike, atk, and more recently bard mods.

Trading out focus effects when there are only a couple on the server sometimes makes sense because of the current availability or awareness of gear, but by this point people have made spreadsheets for their gear involving these items.

Also I was only worried a focus effect would take the slot of acumen but people have been assuaging my fears sorry zaela!
