Now is the apex of its gameplay history.
I would agree, it is very smooth to play. I don't think everyone understands how much of a big deal 1min of Storms Eye is. It's a very big deal to spam your path for supplemental heals over and over even more so then before 5.3, weaving Upheaval for effect. Fell Cleave to dump beast gauge and back to Path Combo, and seeing 24 seconds still left on the eye timer, and you think. "I can get another 2 paths in with another fell cleave before I have to start eye combo!". As I take huge hit for 40-50k, Pop infuriate and nascent, Inner chaos, Infuriate, Inner Chaos. Save equilibrium for next hit, pop IR for DPS dump while refreshing my eye buff. Having that much breathing room is very generous and I hope SE doesn't think they gave us to much.

You are correct in saying this the apex of the job imo. Put a damn bow on it and put it under the tree. I will continue to enjoy these gifts as long as I can.
