I am growing increasingly concerned about how tight-lipped KI is staying on astral spells. Can we please at least get some reasoning from an official KI employee as to why the spells are the way they are? I can't figure out why we don't even have any acknowledgement on our feedback. It's overwhelming how many people want these spells changed, yet we are ignored.
My only guess is that Kingsisle has carefully planned character progression for the next hundred or so levels. Because they released very powerful Hades and Malistaire gear, they may have noticed, as many other players noticed too, that we are getting very powerful, and it is unclear how we can keep improving the next hundred levels if we already have perfect stats.
I'm assuming that we'll be getting improvements to current gear and spells as we keep leveling up, but the improvements won't be as big and amazing as they once were before. I'm sure we all know just how "fun" PVP was with everyone being overpowered and being able to kill an opponent first round before they can even do anything.
