What are people's expectations for 6.2?

I legit expect nothing, but if they were going to do anything for DRK I'd like for them to make Salt and Darkness a trait that causes damage on the initial Salted Earth cast instead of something you have to press, and trade out Enhanced Unmend for an ACTUAL skill/trait instead of a joke.

That'd be an improvement, I can see them doing that if they're trying to reduce bloat.

Enhanced unmend is stupid, I was reclearing E12 for mounts after the EW release and I used unmend while she jumped away during a Cataclysm and I thought I was lagging or something because I saw my Plunge CD jump.
I genuinely forgot the trait existed, and tbh I'd forgotten again until now

Placing more potency on the initial cast would just make the skill more finnicky... merely to avoid some 0.67 apm.

If we're going to go the route of reducing raw APM, which I don't think there's any reason to anyways, I'd far rather have Shadowbringer deal an extra Edge's worth of potency, with its falloff slightly increases as to net only an extra Flood's worth in AoE, and cost 3k MP. That reduces our 2-minute burst oGCDs to weaves far more significantly, makes our capstone ability more punchy, and does not cost us functionality.
