Do we even need potency bumps with expansion abilities?

[Absurdity]

To be fair, it isn't just Fell Cleave being power crept but their insistence from 4.2 onward to make it something you mindlessly spam that turned Fell Cleave from this incredibly powerful feeling ability into a meme. On the whole, I really wish they would move away from that entirely. It's such a lazy gameplay design. At least Gunbreaker and Paladin have different animations despite pressing the same button. Well, Paladin sort of cheats since you spam Holy Spirit four times but still.

I completely agree, but I didn't want to start another rant about warrior's design.

I consider it absolutely unrewarding to play because Inner Release just gives you damage for free at this point, you could do nothing for 60 seconds and you would still get your welfare Fell Cleaves and Primal Rend, making those abilities feel completely underwhelming to use.


4.2 started this whole debacle but even back then you could still fail at utilizing IR correctly, you have to really try to achieve that now. But I guess this is the ultimate conclusion of that original rework, you mindlessly spam buttons and get rewarded with mindlessly spamming buttons some more.
