As far as I can tell the goal seems to be to repeatedly trash the tier 1 talents till we reach a point where it doesn't even matter whether we take one or not, writhe is so bad its barely even worth running on council fights, MG is a shadow of its former self. As for haunt you just have to laugh, its been unuseable for the whole expansion, they finally change it to a form where it would actually be the optimal choice in some situations but they just can't resist and its nerfed to the ground. Just kind of mad about the time I wasted on the ptr practicing playing with it.
