I was surprised holy made it through BfA alpha and beta into BfA the way it was. It was a huge downgrade from Legion I felt. They ended up being fine/good (in large part because of glimmer), but I think it was still a mechanical downgrade, even though their numbers ended up being fine.
After BfA alpha/beta I’m not really surprised that multiple specs make it through the process with 90+% of all feedback ignored. I am kind of surprised things as garbage-tier design as ret aura made it through, but I guess I shouldn’t be.
