Your Excalibur will be meaty enough to take grazing shots should you choose to rush past mobs, but is otherwise still durable enough to take hits during casts and open combat. You have quite a large power boost of 85%, and casting skills at 70% of their original cost gives you a lot of bang for your buck. This is offset by reduced Duration, although only Slash Dash and Radial Blind are hit. Slash Dash's distance isn't too much of a problem considering you can just cast it again, but Radial Blind's total CC time of 15s is lowered to 12s, which still isn't too noticeable but enough to make you use it more as a panic button than sustained CC. I purposely keep my mods ranked less than max as to allow for even numbers and therefore better polarity compatibility. Because honestly, an extra +5% X stat doesn't justify an entire mod point, which, believe me, makes a huge difference.
