The team sat down with returning guest co-host Man at Arms to chat about their thoughts on the new Prophecy dungeon from a mechanics standpoint as well as the new light that it shone on our understanding of the figures known as The Nine. After a quick run through of the information that the community has about the group, the hosts take up the debate on what the Light and the Darkness is - as well as the mysterious force that might lie in the middle between the two 'sides.' This, of course, leads to a few thoughts being shared pertaining to the upcoming powers that Guardians will be introduced to in the upcoming Beyond Light expansion.
