Asuryan's Flames

I hopped on to PTS to test out a few things on my Archmage last night. The biggest one I wanted to see in action was my Alter Fate. Now if you remember when the game was released we where told that rank 4 morals where suppose to be huge battle changing abilities that should not be easy to obtain. Well they are moderately easy to obtain, but they are tide changing. Well the current plan with 1.2 is to change it so that alter fate no longer works in boss/lord fights.

Now the first thing that comes to mind is WTF we have an extremely gimped moral that now servers no purpose. This things start to add up, 10 min run back to N'kara in vale for a simple mistake that would have been easily rescuable with an alter fate. Boss fights that enrage after X amount of time and you lose a DPS'er early in the fight and so on. This will kill PVE progression, and really kills this abilities role. In fact there is no reason to have this ability if it is going to go live, I would suggest looking for another rank 4 if they do not change this.

I believe that Mythic's logic on this was or make it harder to defend/attack fortresses, but in effect they have also killed PVE at the same time, and really turned an already weak rank 4 into a crappy aoe rez. I think that the current incantation of alter fate should stay. You don’t get pulled to the healer; you don’t get full health on rez. It just helps give me the further impression that Mythic hates healers, buffs to damage mean nerfs to healing. A huge nerf to a rez that all healers get is a huge nerf the survivability of groups.
