Motes of Possibility talent - PLEASE REWORK THIS!

The mechanic of this orb spawning in random places, sometime 40y away from you is just… awful.

What player is going to want to just chase this random orb, that might spawn in the most inconvenient place imaginable, during an encounter???

A friend of mine wanted me to take motes for a key to test it out, and I think I got three procs the whole run, and one of them was near a pack of mobs we weren’t going to pull.

Real neat talent. :rofl:

I think I only notice it reducing cds twice the entire run.

It would be good if I knew what it actually did…

And a few scattered orbs too far away.

Maybe other party members are stealing everything.

It should proc every time you ebon might on the 4 affected players but at a reduced value.

I think the talent says 10 seconds. So bring it down to 3-5 seconds of major cool-down abilities.

But then they may need to rearrange the tree because it is going to be a must-have.

They have bloat anyway in the tree so wouldn’t mind this.

But I just know the current iteration is trash.

Perhaps they can tie it to Prescience? A more RNG aspect; would make the button feel more worthwhile.

The problem is when some specs dont want the cdr reduction. I think you should be able to just choose one specific target to get the orbs.

But that might create a funneling strategy.

I can already foresee 12 augs buffing a one specific DPS to lower their major cd ability.

I think it would be best balance-wise to just tie it to Ebon might and it reduces major CDs by 3-5 seconds.

Seeing as the first (and probably not last) nerf to stacking limits aug buffs to 4 stacks, I don’t foresee this being a likely strat.

But Prescience if it were changed to trigger a mote and or another active action ability to trigger it.

Won’t stop us from having 12 evokers tossing it on one DPS.

Yes, it will. Why would you have 12 evokers if prescience is capped at 4 stacks? They could giga buff the cdr from motes and you’d still be gimping your raid to have 8 useless augs.

I’m not campaigning for prescience to proc a mote either way, because they’re on separate sides of the tree, but this is foolishness.

Still 4 evokers giving 1 person 10 seconds off a major cd.

Thats 40 seconds.

That seems a bit broke I dunno.

It potentially is. But then, 4 augs buffing people already is.

Yeah, idk what Blizz is gonna do. Maybe Mote of Possibility can trigger its effect if we use time skip.

That would be really cool but only limit its effect on your group make it refund like 10-20-30 seconds of a cd.

I DUNNO!
