Backdraft, Displacement, Despair, Purifying power runes extremely unfair design

Hi, so we have a new rune for warlock, mage, priest and pally. In order to get their runes they need to kill 4 elementals on diferent maps. To summon every elemental you need 1 person in your party with a consumable (Worldcore Fragment OR Scroll of Geomancy).

As far as i check info on wowhead, reddit and youtube (this could not be accurated), priest and pallys cant even get these consumables by themselves, so they just need to ask mages / warlocks for it. For mages they can gamble it with the sod scroll mechanic. Warlocks have to find new phase 3 portals, send the explorer imp, wait 15-20min and pray to rngyisus.

Ok, so what is this all about? My experience as warlock is 25± portals, 0 drops for me.

-Amount of time / gold that you need to invest to get the rune is off charts.
-Warlock portals are mostly being camped by players / bots everywhere.
-All the gold that priest / pally have to invest is just going to another player because the design. They cant do nothing but just pay for it.

As i said before, the info is not 100% accurated, so i expect o be missing something (i hope im missing something). In the case that im not missing anything, and it is what it is, it would be the bigest trash/unfair design i have ever seen in a long time.

EDIT: I just found that there is another way to get loot from portals even if u are not mage or warlock. You need a warlock who randomly get the Scroll of Spatial mending recipe from a portal, with that enchanters can make a scroll that let anybody close a portal getting loot in the proces. In my opinion the problems are the same as before the edit, the amount of time/gold to invest in order to get 1 rune is completly off charts.

Thanks for your time, i would appreciate any correction if im wrong in anything about this.

Hey, I can’t seem to close portals with these runes as warlock. I tried closing it before sending the imp in and after. Give me a message “you can’t do that yet”

Is the scroll maybe just usable by mages?

you can buy the worldcore fragments to summon the mob for the rune off the auction house. they are 50s or so here now, i just vendor them.
