Mana management? Can hurt if you’re not proactive in your lucid cooldown. It’s just an arbitrary thing to see if you’re paying attention.

Knockbacks? I’ve never been fond of them as a mechanic in general and there are certain times when a knockback will ignore the prevention cooldown anyway. I’d rather they either make all knockbacks able to be negated or none of them do it’s consistent.

Positionals? Well I’m outspoken on this one, true north is a bandaid for a symptom. We’d be better off without positionals and I’m genuinely surprised they didn’t scrap them for EW. I was so sure it was finally going to happen and they’d fix their melee design at last.

Role skills would be an excellent target for button pruning though. It’s not a bad idea to start getting rid of a few.
