Something that added more of a skill ceiling to it than whatever just having positionals does. You had to be careful of overcap but also mindful to have enough for double Reawaken every 120s. It wasn't a lot but it sure made the job feel much better than it does now. Now it has nothing and a lot of the pace of VPR is just missing because you have nothing to keep track of any more.
It was only crucial because it HAD to be to achieve higher damage output. It wasn’t crucial because it was a key or core mechanic. Now if they removed reawaken or something like that… I could empathize with that argument. I can’t empathize because it was nothing more than death’s design in a combo. That was it.

It’s just a debuff. That’s all it ever was, and all it ever would have been. If it was an actual DOT, I could probably empathize too.
