 * Do you truly think that "annoying" is an important factor when it comes to balancing? 145.94.74.23 11:50, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Mark of Insecurity shows it is not about balance anymore. It is only about shaking up the meta. Having to recast something every minute that can be easily removed is annoying and effects the balance. Look at preparations, you have to recast it every 20-30 seconds, but it is unremovable!!
 * Also look at the fact you can only have 1 preperation at a time. You can dual-attunement with this skill, so its not too bad.
 * Do you need to use two preparations? If you want to apply poison and burning, you can do that with only one preparation. If you want to be an effective elementalist, you need to keep the attunements up or take other means of energy regenerations, which restricts your secondary class.

BTW "Ease of use" is a balance issue. A powerfull skill can be balanced by having to recast it very often draining your energy very fast, which reduces the "ease of use". E.g: Searing Flames without Glowing Gaze or Elemental Attunement.
