They have to fix enchants in the first place. No love for gloves, overpowered boots and too many helment options. There should be enchants for other armor parts too. You should be able to keep one you have if you don't like a new one, etc. 15-20 minutes of hassle to just have one option, which overwrite ... nah.

Enchantments were just another braindead way to introduce power creep and couple it with more grind. They did nothing for the gameplay and should have never been added to the game in the first place.

Oh man I completely forgot that these new channeling skills will further dilute the terrible odds of getting the enchant you want. LOL

I think your devs should start looking into "charge up" skills.
Something with a "umph" to it.
Punch punch kick BOOM... pow pow pow BOOM...

Wild strike is a rare exception, though it lacks the boom.
All skills feel very stale.

You could also add charge up mechanics to already existing skills.
Every 3rd-6th attack or 4th-8th cast the skill gets a buff like 100% chance to crit or proliferate, with a 50% less dmg with 50% more area effect. Anything that makes you feel it.

As for blight:

The color contrast/glow effect is HORRIBLE, it seems so out of place, neon bright sharp pixelated crap.
Should have made it a natural slime green colored dust cloud that rolls out like a wind.

all 3 skills animation looks like trash to me :/
