Everything I've feared about mythic+ from retail has made it's way here. Elitism, gear score (for a dungeon!?), even preferred specs (for a dungeon!?). Why? Simple...because Ascension copied the timed element of mythic+ from retail. Because of the timer, people are forced into certain specs, even at higher gear levels...all to beat the timer. It doesn't and shouldn't be this way.

Do away with the timer. Make the dungeons difficult, but don't have a timer. You can make rewards based on death, not time. No deaths? 3 chests. 1 death? 2 chests. 2 deaths? 1 chest. 3 deaths? failed. This is in the true spirit of classless WoW because players won't be limited to specs that have huge aoe or splash.

@JellyCat Preach. I hate the new interface.

@LuchiousCaine LOVE IT! No one really specs for Lightwell. I've played the game two years now and done a ton of raids and dungeons...have not seen a single lightwell. I remember on retail that even when you dropped the lightwell, no one clicked on it. Your spin on it is great and solves most of the fundamental flaws in it's current iteration. Bravo!

Can we please do something about this? In Mythic 7+ the bees always eat away at Inner Fire charges and if there's like 2 or 3 on you, your Inner Fire charges dissapear so quick. Can we please have the RE Inner Fire charges be different from the regular Inner Fire? Righteous Flames revolves completely around Inner Fire charges and doing Mythic 7+ with Bees are a PITA and brings the DPS down so much.

When the Tank takes 18k damage in 1.7sec and blames the Healer for using the wrong spec:

I agree with you, it's a very bad idea to split the playerbase. I like that League 3 is suppose to only be like 3 months long, but Al'ar has definitely taken a big part of the playerbase. The whole reason why they implemented scaling for dungeons below level 60 is because new players were leaving the game since queues were taking very long. I hope they learn from that.

@Xylandia Agree completely. I think the Legendary Mystic Enchants were a bad idea. Don't get me wrong, I love the freshness and variety they bring, but they just become new "classes". I think they should have limited it to the type of power Epic Mystic Enchants bring because most just enable cool things, but they don't dictate builds like the Legendary Mystic Enchants.

Builds around Tranq are/were bad, period. There's a number of strong healing builds. I can think of 7 off the top of my head. 7 that I've personally seen perform excellent in Heroic raids.

Heating up! is exactly what Controlled Burn needed, but it stacks waaaaaaaay too slow. You will never have time to stack it to 20 in mythic+ and it still takes forever on Raid bosses. I suggest (and was hoping) that the debuff procs with every tick of Conflagrate. Heating up! being a debuff, you're already severely penalized for target switching and being only like a 10sec debuff, you're also severely penalized for letting it drop off. Playing the LRE is a frustrating mix of waiting for Heating up! to build up and fearfully staring at the debuff so it doesn't fall off.

Never played a Mage in Rift, but boy did I love the first iteration of the Cleric Defiler. People said you couldn't heal 5mans with it, but my build could. Always surprised the Clerics in group when they found I healed the heroic dungeon as a Defiler! Now Ascension just added some new healing REs that are similar in fashion to the Defiler and I'm just really giddy about it all.

@RodrigoLeaf Love the thematic application of the old gods to the totems! if the ratings was 4 stars, i'd give it 5....if it was 1-10, i'd give it an 11.

Mind Flay - Right now this seems really weak - it seems like the devs want to just replace it with shadow bolt. I'm fine with removing the slow effect (from MEs) for some buffs.

I really don't understand how it's ok for Shadow Bolt to hit for 20k+ but don't Mind Flay dare to tick for more than 5k during a 3sec channel. in 3sec, Shadow Bolt can easy do 40k+ and at best, Mind Flay in 3sec is gonna do like 20k max...smh. I love my Spriest build but can't really do any serious content with it because Mind Flay needs to be buffed. It really is that simple.

@LuchiousCaine LOVE IT! No one really specs for Lightwell. I've played the game two years now and done a ton of raids and dungeons...have not seen a single lightwell.

@WiliemDemon Yup, every single one of my builds has an aggro reduction talent, usually "Pyromaniac" because all my dps are casters. I also have Fade and Feign Death. These should be automatic picks.

@Ironcloak I completely agree. There was a lot of work that went into all these new REs. I showed my appreciation by buying DP...it's the best way.

@ReaperSkippy TYVM!

Taunting Consecration and Emanating Light.

Taunting Consecration: Increases the threat dealt by your consecration by 7%, stacks to 3.
Emanating Light: Your consecration is transformed into consecration (emanate), following you as you move.

I don't want to waste 3 RE spaces if Taunting doesn't affect Emanating Light. Since the math is invisible, it's really hard to tell if they're interacting or not. Please confirm.
