it used to be 20 seconds. I meant to change it to 60 seconds, but accidently made it like 600 or something. That made it 5 times better than the Defender Clear Mind power. Clear mind was 60 seononds, and it is now 90 seconds. Stimulant must not be as good as clear mind.

This isn't normal for stimulant to last this long? Carp. My main is a forcefielder. I grabbed Stimulant in respec and now between my bubbles and stim-ing people I have little time to blast. The range, recharge, and interuptability of it make it a full time job keeping people stimulated. On top of that the interuptability makes it close to worthless as a curative. (Unless I can enhance that to zero? Which I'd gladly pay that price.) EDIT: Even when not interupted with the range and cast duration the status effect has usually warn off by the time I get it on them.
I agree Clear Mind should be longer, MUCH longer, atleast 4 minutes like a bubble.
I agree Stimulant shouldn't be as good as CM, but it already has other penalties that make it a pain to administer. How long does the average TaskForce/Trial fight last? I'd say longer than 60 seconds. Please take that into consideration when adjusting this buff time. I would have no problem with anything from 2-4 minutes, maybe even 1.5 minutes. If it goes to 60 seconds I'll have to think long and hard about whether I keep this power.
Another idea that might make it easier to palate with a shorter recharge time is allowing range enhancements on it.
EDIT: Another idea is to have the Medicine pool work
better for defenders and contollers. Much like Leadership.
