I played around for a while in open world, with celestial gear and both dagger/dagger and staff (I have no interest in being a mage with a giant hammer, sorry.) Here's my feedback so far:
It is very difficult to ever be at 10 stacks of Elemental Empowerment, making the grandmaster trait feel worthless.
The jade sphere field is very underwhelming. It's like a tempest overload but immobile and not as good.
The energy mechanic on the sphere doesn't really make any sense. We should not be able to recall the sphere and lose all energy. If you're going to let us recall it, refund some energy. Otherwise it's just a feelsbad when you spam the button and it goes away. Also the cooldown seems to be the limit rather than energy, so why not just have it be a cooldown? This feels like you're trying to make it a more interesting mechanic than it is, and you're making it un-fun to play with in the process.
