Signet of Midnight

Issue

Signet of midnight isn't overpowered by itself but plague sending and mantra of inscriptions combined multiply it to be game breaking. You can blind 2 targets every 5 seconds and cover one of those two with enfeeble.

Suggestion

make plague sending recast a little longer 7 seconds or signet of midnight 20 seconds or my preference totally destroy mantra of inscriptions because it makes signets too good/bad with/without it.

Issue

As stated by Draken, Signet of Midnight is fine on it own. However, its synergy with Plague Sending/Touch and Mantra of Inscriptions makes for a build that can spam 15 second blinds (9 with both blind-reduction runes) every few seconds for very little energy.

Suggestion

Simply remove the self-blinding aspect of Signet of Midnight.

Then people would use it as an elite Throw Dirt with no attribute.
