Insanity isn’t an issue at all, is the problem. We’re not going to be pushing any changes this patch. We realize Theurgist Atlantean would just fill the power vacuum left behind by not being able to apply Atlantean to Virtuous gear, and wouldn’t really be a solution. Virtuous only granting 27 Defense is also just a band-aid solution.
PvE shouldn’t be impacted, and grind shouldn’t be negated (voiding Essence / Virtuous).
One day, yeah. I don’t know if Vetex currently plans on adding many more stats, but it is always a possibility. I’d love to see a Haste stat that gives cooldown reduction eventually.
