Yeah, this is a big question mark about the changes - particularly now that hot hand is two points I really hope it doesn’t block the path to ascendance.
It conflicts with a stormstrike build for breathing room and doesn’t below on the path to ascendance. And two points would make it feel even worse to have to take to get to ascendance.
Stormflurry should really be where hot hand is now, and hot hand should be moved up higher to where the other lave lash talents are.
