Well… it got pretty substantial buffs so its ST is now comparable to fatebounds. It has been the best aoe hero talent since day 1 of the expansion, but it was by a small amount and you gave up a ton of ST value to take it.
Which is kinda like giving up one of the reasons to play outlaw (strong ST even in aoe build). Now it is substantially ahead in aoe and about equal on ST so more people are giving it a try.
Shame it will still be gatekept out of truly challenging content because kspree is just not a viable button on many fights. Even if it doesn’t kill you, you need to hold it so long you are losing any dps gain trickster might have given you.
