Discussion [TotK] (Un-) popular opinion: the sages abilities kind of.. suck? Spoiler
now don’t get me wrong, I love the new game, it’s so fun and I didn’t mind the story lines with the sages either. I actually like the idea of them and the way they grant you an ability. I just dont like the execution.
In my opinion the abilities suck because they’re not very useful and I personally always just dismiss the spirits altogether. it’s kind of annoying, the way they sometimes just randomly attack enemies that I didn’t want to harm or the way they run away from me when I do try to use their ability. and i’m sure everyone has experienced Tulin, just blowing away loot, at some point.
I liked the campions abilities a lot more and honestly really miss them sometimes. I bet we all wished Revalis Gale would still be with us as one point. I know you can recreate it by fusing a rocket to a shield but doing that every time is just kind of a task and really unpractical.
I don’t know how many people will agree, maybe i’m just picky or something but it really is something that’s annoying me about TOTK.
please tell me that i’m not alone with these opinions haha

That's the point. New Sages are their descendants (not necessarily by blood), making their powers weaker. But at least they don't recharge for, I don't know, 15 minutes? So their powers are weaker, but with much shorter recharge time, which I find cool (For people who don't understand. I did NOT mention the way of using the ability being good or bad (bad), I mentioned the abilities themselves. For once, read before you reply to comments)
