Ascension Classless? Not sure anymore. Also RE bloat

I love all of the class fantasy REs, I have been here since when you dropped all your gear on death and REs were glorified talent points. While the new RE system is fun we have replaced classes with Legendary REs that create a class and as a general suggestion more generic Legendary REs and more epics that alter abilities. So generic legionaries could be crafted in a way that your weapon/stance/primary attribute keys different effects .... ( we have a lot of dead REs )

Example (Rogue + Paladin + Arcane no TG )
Single 2H: crits have a % chance to generate an extra auto attack
2 1H: your Crusader Strike, and rogue combo point generating attacks cause an additional off hand attack ( reduced dmg to bring it in line )

Arcane weapon buff: double effect on two handed W

Strength: generate a cleave or AOE arcane effect from CS
Agility: CS applies a debuff that triggers extra arcane damage on every auto attack
Gain 30% of either as spell power

Mage armor is a stance .... grants a minor mana shield like effect

Battle stance is BM stance .... grants spell and armor pen

Combo points: gain 1% base mana per combo point spent and gain a buff dealing 5% weapon dmg as arcane for 2 sec + 2 per combo point spent

cause 2% weapon dmg as Arcane per combo point on the target

Finishing moves gain an additional dmg based on 10% of SP per combo point

Divine Storm is Arcane Storm ... AOE dmg + mana recovery

I am not sure if this is as generic as I would like .... Keying in of melee defined by Rage/Mana/Energy that gain differing effects ...... basically wanting more room to theory craft

@Felgrim Completely agree that we have way too many dead REs right now. I mean, these things are hard as hell to balance and there will always be 10-15 RE's that are "meta", but why not give other REs a chance to compete? Like most "trash" legendaries will give you 3k-4k single target, and some of them don't even have AoE. That's really trash tier compared to the 8-10k single target that some of the meta ones can do. Not to get into how crazy meta AoEs are.

The thing is, many of these "trash tier" REs are really interesting to play with really awesome class fantasies and whatnot. They just need a buff and some love. Sure they may not surpass the meta REs, but at least give them a chance instead of being dead weight on the dps charts just because you like to make your own builds. I thought that was the main point of classless.
