And you were expecting???
They make some of our former abilities optional, giving us freedom instead to mix/match combinations we could not combine before (e.g., Blessed Hammer & Holy Shield for Prot Pallies). Yes, they also give us the option to keep some of our borrowed power from Shadowlands, and even the option to reach back to some former xpacs to retrieve favorite borrowed abilities from the past (looking at you, Eye of Tyr).
Remember this is not new borrowed power, this is a new system allowing us to choose favorites and keep them moving forward!

What a gloomy outlook. I prefer to think of it like the advent of transmog, where we can keep all our old favorite appearances even if we can't wear them all at the same time. We can still experiment with different combinations and use any we have an itch for.
