Because it would effect basically EVERYONE. Trickle down effect.
Anyway; Blizzard have made it clear what their intentions are and what their philosophy behind the system is. Imo terms like ‘meta’ or ‘min-maxing’ are evil; they shouldn’t be catered to. So I agree with their philosophy because it at least supports my stance a little bit instead of giving in yet again to obsessive players.
But the thing that I don’t understand; why are you (and likeminded people) making such a big deal of this? Because it’s really not such a big deal.
It’s 1 ability. One. It’s an extra ability too; it’s not meant to be like 99% of the other stuff you have already; no changing on the fly and such. It’s fine.
People who pick a covenant for what that ability does are being silly and obsessive. There’s so many other things that you DO get to control and change… stop worrying about 1 single ability.
