    is there some meaningful reason why the new red rune Renewal Rune: Field Medic

    has unpleasant usability built into it? it's a self-refreshing persisting effect as designed, but you have to activate once manually per zone to get it going. confusingly, it currently only works if you activate it while in combat - then it works for the rest of the zone without touching it again. if you activate it out of combat, it doesn't renew itself automatically on the next tick and is no longer persistent. i'm assuming it's just a bug, but in case it's "working as implemented", i'd like to feedback that this implementation results in poor user engagement and is unnecessarily annoying.

    can it just automatically apply passively exactly like the previous version of this rune Field Medic?

    we don't need another rune to click every time we engage in combat. we already hate having to click Rune of Bloodbound Torment every combat. but at least that one has a very tenuous reasoning behind it that it has a downside and we have to actively pick the tradeoff (still just feels like awful, unnecessary, busy-bee work)
