The [BLAST RUSH] Incident.
One of my main concerns when I heard about the changes to mastery token was stuff like this precisely though. Nobody is going to take the old public masters anymore when the alternatives are... Completely un-nerfed or re-balanced, full-blown former hiddens.
Primordial Flame or [[[SCORCH]]], or LION FIRE BARRAGE. The choice is obvious between these three. (nobody will pick scorch, wasn't it supposed to be made an intermed?)
For Ice, Wintermute which is effectively a free aura worth of stats that was locked behind being an exalted toggle (a very high standard of being given out, generally), or Glacier, which was nerfed from 5 damage to 4?
What also doesn't help is that the flexibility that came with being able to ask for say... Primordial Flame as someone who was invested deeply into a fire subtree (magma, explosion, or plasma rly) is completely gone now since it's all done by the numbers rather than being manually looked over.
For example the current build I'm running has basically nothing I can use my tokens on, as most of the hiddens I may have gone for are now locked behind a [mythic] label rather than something I can just try to ask or even bargain for, and stances are a boring pity prize in comparison to spend something that's supposed to be so valuable and a flashy + cool addition to one's build.
It's just sorta disappointing to me at times, I'll be honest. Being denied the some of the old flexibility of how to build hidden-wise is personally demotivating and made me way-less interested in engaging with some of the current systems.
But mostly, there just definitely needs to be some rebalancing of the current hiddens that have been made public. (Lol good timing on this one...)
