The 4sec RT for repeated commands is a bit harsh, can this be tweaked not to occur ever single time? example for a barb....whirlwind fails repeatedly ok.....expertise your penalized for using combos that repeat, IF is critical in this area bc of the constant casting of the creatures.

I can't test this due to the nature of the Maeldryth but...

This looks more like you have a spell cast on you by the critter that has a pulsing round-time. There are many critters that do this. Does this happen EVERY time you use Whirlwind and Analyze Flame or is it only sometimes? Again, sorry that I can't test but it looks like a spell pulse roundtime to me.

No issues in limiting spamming one particular attack. The concern is the prior examples where guild abilities/skills are limited or blocked entirely because of a repeating attack type.

The Whirlwind problem should be fixed now. Moreover, the creature can no longer stop AoE abilities.

The combo-unfriendliness is intentional, however.

Since only single-target attacks can be stopped now, only single-target attacks count as non-repeat.

The roundtime has been halved, though.
