"I am aware that I'm talking about sub50 smn" - to be fair most classes in this game are boring and unsatisfying pre- level 50 at this point.

As far as level 90, I continue to love the current iteration of the class as I find it far more enjoyable than any version since ARR. (Though I can admit there was something about each version I did like given it was my main DPS since 2014).
