If they don't want us using the damned things, then just remove them from the game. Don't nerf them to the point where it's meaningless to even bother. I'm looking at you, Blizzard II.
I couldn't agree with this more. The abilities as they are now are practically a waste of space. Every ability should have meaning, these did. I didn't think they were ever OP as they only helped in very particular situations mainly for repetitive grinding. Now these abilities essentially have no purpose. It's a very bad decision.
