    I would like to point out that the cast timers on these pots seem to be a bit excessive. When I am in full healing mode and $hit hits the fan and we need to get out, having to wait an additional 2.5 secs to cast this pot while getting hit does not happen. Additionally, I would like to point out that if this is going to be a cash shop item, it should be GOOD. Please look at this item again. The best thing you could do is make it instant cast speed. Although I do not see that happening, I think a .5 sec cast time would be just fine. Even getting whacked by mobs to get this pot casted could take 1-1.5 secs.

    As it stands, this item is not worth using. Even if I wanted to use it, its worthless for what it is intended for.

    its a potion. do you really expect potions to be instacast? Lets see, i have a potion in my pocket. oh my , the mobs are killing my group, let me get it out and drink it, then have it's effect take us all to safety. Nah. don't think so. anymore than the instant health regen and mana regen potionss we can now get. in the meantime, the various player evack abilities all have a cast time, most longer than 2 seconds. I am not sure a store bought potion should supercede abilities anyway, just my opinion.

    Even though I use it myself, I find that potion to be overpowering. To begin with, not every class should be able to evac, rez, etc. Now that they are though, marketplace items should definitely not make their abilities easier to use than it would be for the respective classes that have those, and should also not be superior to any items (with those abilities) obtainable by quests/kills.

    I emphatically agree that rez and evac potions are bad for the game. Groups should need rezzers and evaccers not replace them with potions. And having the potions FASTER than the class skills would be an abomination and not in the necro sense.

    I'll be happy to escalate your feedback to the devs although I'm seeing mixed feelings about this. o_O

    The PSI has a 6 sec cast on his evac...that is ample time...generally you know when a wipe is coming! lol

    The longer cast time also gives you a chance to cancel it incase of misfire.
