Adding a new class and a slew of new powers is a big undertaking. It's critical that we get feedback based on the text, not tweets.

We have very high standards for putting stuff in the game – 70% positive moves an element into the polish phase, aiming for 80% or higher.

Below that mark means a thing either gets dropped from the design cycle, or it needs significant work.

If the mystic is right on the margin, I'd rather err on sending it back for more work than trying to push it ahead.

The big picture issue is that UA is for testing, not previewing stuff that we will 100% publish as official. We're going to be very picky.

That doesn't mean we'll abandon stuff people want to see. We'll just put more time into trying to hit our standards. #wotcstaff
