They could have made due with just nerfing the Silence duration to really short, say. It would still interrupt channels and disrupt burst mages.

But I do love that you have to use your Riftwalk and Netherblade with skill now, use the nether blade to keep mana up while you riftwalk... Instead of it just being a free flash every 2 seconds as long as you build enough mana + regen.
