What about tripling the timer to 900, and also tripling the damage? Then they would at least be actually Epic, but the damage over time is the same. Also, if they could be cast very often, they might start to feel 'common', which somewhat takes away from them being Epic.

Any chance that ability could just be made passive? Most racial abilities are passive. Benefit would be the buff is on all the time. :)

Hope this can be considered to be made AOE. Seems more natural.

Excellent! Really hoping the rest of the Guards in the game can learn to fight again at some point as well.

Hoping this doesn't relegate this item into uselessness. Remember, it has that ridiculous speed modifier to compensate for the nice delay modification it does...

Nice!

Will do what I can to test this once it gets to Blight.
