I'm actually pretty glad they got scrapped. I wasn't really keen on the prayers they offered. It was a ton of DPS increase, which together with all the new high dps gear we got recently seemed a bit overkill. Adding to that, from what my friends who had a chance to try them told me, the prayers had huge prayer drain and could be 1-tick flicked. I was pretty worried 1-tick flicking ruinous powers would have become meta for any group pve content.
I'm like half relieved and half disappointed lol. There were some good ideas in there but overall it was pretty uninteresting and was just an overall dps increase. I'm happy that when they do decided to revisit a new prayer book, we can expect a more quality product. However, I'm sad that DT2 rewards are a lot less appealing now.
I'm glad they at least tried, it gives them more experience with larger "changing the feel" type of updates.
Regarding the DT2 rewards I felt 4 new bosses with bis rings was already a bit too much so I'm not sad on that front. I just hope the lore holds up, the quests leading up to it were great and had nice puzzles.
