Weapon of Quickening

It's the 2 second cast that kills it. KILLS IT. Also, if you're running high communing (a la spirits) then Ritual Lord would be more beneficial to you.

I can see the potential in caster heavy team, as long as the casters have good energy management. On the other hand, finding a team that is coordinated enough? Good luck. (Also, the rest of the communing line is kind of...bleh.) I'd say speccing maybe 8 into communing could make it passable (lasts for 3 times its recharge...) on a rit.

Does anyone else see a really good reason to use it? The big thing is you can cast WoQ on other party members, usefull on healer/prots and ele's.

The big thing is you can cast WoQ on other party members, usefull on healer/prots and ele's. Healer/protters should have all fast recharging spells. They also should be selectively healing, not spamming away...

I can see it being useful on eles, but the current flavor builds (Mind Burn+RI, SF, etc) are already extremely spammable. Perhaps it would make Water Eles more viable?

The skill *only* shines when you are in a team where multiple members *need* a reduction in skill recharge. The problem is, though, most builds are *designed* to work around the recharges they currently have. If you were in a team that had people playing builds that needed the recharge, then you also risk severely handicapping them if you die, become low on energy....or become interrupted in your nice, long, 2 second cast.

I agree with everyone above in saying that the 2-second cast kills this otherwise lovely spell. If it costed 5e, or if it had a 1 second cast, I can see this actually getting used.

The main problem, as we've all said, is the 2 second cast. At 10e (and often working with a diminished energy pool form item spells), getting interrupted while casting this is a huge hit to your energy. If it costed 5, this hit would be less of a problem. If it had a 1 second cast, I can see the justification for the 10 energy. Right now, it's just too risky to use in most situations.
