Here is a recent tweet and response in regards to the frost relic situation we frost dks have to endure in Tomb:
Tweet @Warcraftdevs: "Missing frost trait Relic in Tomb. Any reasons? Howling Blast relic havent been in raid since EN."
Response: "There’s a Shadow relic with the trait you’re looking for, dropped by a boss whose name rhymes with 'Lil Maiden'."
But like... y tho? This is TWO raids in a row we've had to deal with sub par frost relics which we happen to be stuck with two of. I don't know how the value of the relics will change in Tomb since we're losing the tier set bonus that greatly enhanced our Howling Blast damage, but I know that if things stay the same then we will all be using 905 Frost relics we RNG from BRH m+ rather than 920s of other traits. I dunno about you guys but when my 890 frost relic with BR is better than the 905s that keep dropping from Spellblade... it feels really fucking awful. Even if by some miracle of the gods I manage to get some 955 titanforged ambi relic I know that in the back of my mind I will be thinking "But it isn't even blast radius though"
I can understand the trinket situation but there really isn't an excuse for putting shitty traits on relics, especially when they put so many in Tomb. I believe there are 5 different ones? Cold as Ice, Ambi, Overpowered, Nothing but the Boots, Razorice one? Surely one of those could have been Blast Radius.

I hear that other classes don't have this issue. Are we alone in this? Are there other classes who have to suffer with us, or can they at least farm Mythic Nighthold for SOMETHING more reliable than praying for BRH 15 keys and frost relics? I, for one, know I'm sick and tired of relying on M+ for the best gear possible.
Edit: One of the reasons I made this was due to how snarky the response was. Not only did he dodge the question but... "lil maiden"? Really, Blizzard?
