Suggestion Track Reagent and Cooldown

I've noticed that Track now needs 1 sapling as a reagent. This is reasonable, but I don't think simply adding a reagent makes it balanced.

Before: No reagent. 120 second cool down.

After: 1 sapling reagent. 120 second cool down.

I thought the long cool down is what made it balanced without a reagent. Now that it does have a reagent, I don't think it deserves the same cool down.

Suggestion: Keep the 1 sapling reagent but reduce the cool down to 60 seconds.

He mentioned making the reagent a compass too.

I know. :( I'm ok with a sapling, but a compass is kinda ridiculous.

Who said it was?
If they change the reagent to something more difficult to get (Such as a map) then I'd be all for the cd reduction. But a cd reduction because they added a sapling into the mix? nope.

I don't like the idea of having a regeant for track. I have never really been tracked down by a ranger. What balances it is its cooldown and that it gives coords within 50 blocks. It is pretty hard to track someone because the target moves around alot.

It's very easy to find someone within 50 blocks .... especially if you track continuously and they don't know you're coming.

Aww, someone got bullied by a ranger. :(
Who has two thumbs and is a Ranger and bullied Crimlake? This guy. I didn't even have time to say #UmbraUndefeated before he signed off. I guess this serves as notice: #umbraundefeated.

I agree on lowering the cooldown, the high cooldown was because of no reagent. We'll drop it to 30s.
