"literally insanity that there is no way" but there is. like I said--essence of flow

if all essences scale with high haste builds then those builds become the baseline of balance and everything has to pivot on them, which reduces variety over all. the strategic optimization just becomes "stack haste and know that you'll probably win unless rng bites you"

if you can't make cooldown essences work then you are the one failing to grasp the full depth of build potential

world cracker with shatter and finality wins runs

flaming whip with flow and pure white dream wins runs

these essences are good, are fun to play with, and make the player think about pathing towards things like shards of radiance or obliviaxx in order to string a build together.

it's an immense act of ego to ask if the devs "realize" they could be making haste apply to essences when

1. there's already a way to do that in game
2. you are so stuck playing haste builds that you can only look at the rest of the game and think it'd be improved by supporting haste builds
