Three Minute Timer and Combat

[Gaal]

Just found out quote "### WARLOCK:

• Pact Spell Adjustments: Ice Storm, Sound Lance, Withering Ray, and Darkbolt now have a replenishment timer of 3 minutes."

A three minute timer, in combat might as well be never replenished. I don't see Darkbolt increasing every three minutes after, but if you use the spell, then again before three minutes, you never regain it until you rest. Maybe if it was a much lower timer, but three minutes?

There is also another thread about this for removing feylocks only damaging infini spell. In all these cases the 3minute cd felt like too much. A 3min cd on a infini spell that just does damage and no other status effects goes from really strong to useless. I feel like a shorter cd say 6second or even 12 would be enough, halving how often it can be used. Withering ray etc were only really strong because you could spam them twice a round for 95~ dmg aoe per round (if empowered and target makes save). If you have to weave it with another weaker spell that would probably bring it in to line IMO.
