Worst patch ever. Wander build destroyed. Blood magic builds destroyed. Spark builds destroyed. Go scion or u lose. CI and vaal pact is dead. wtf. Who tested that game and came up with those decisions and how did GGG fuck up so badly on this... I cant believe this.

So from what I understand, half of all specs are now completely unviable as certain classes due to the elimination of linking through the middle, practically destroying those characters entirely, all for the sake of Scion, who could have been given a seperate tree?

not just that.
Some classes relied heavily on auras, and you can't stack them anymore.

Eldritch battery gives a large manapool ( and manaregen ) from Energy Shield and it was used to stack auras mostly ( clarity being enough in most of the cases when it's about mana regeneration ). Now what ? all auras are percent based, who would sacrifice ES for mana when it is pointless with auras ? =/

Elemental wander relied on a lot of elemental dmgs, through using the 3 auras that give those elemental dmgs .... now it just cannot. Especially since to survive, many people needs other auras in addition because they BUILT their character around that since solo difficulty is quite high.
Now half of the gear needs to be changed ( that means a huge amount of time for some people ), and some specs are dead ( righteous fire build based on energy shield cannot work anymore, blood magic builds are a joke ) and most of the char needs to spend a lot of hours to get back to the effectiveness they had before ( if they can ..... ).

There are so many comments of people complaining about Blood Magic. There's a specific notable and many other passives that reduce the mana reservation costs.

Also, there are a lot of new trap passives that increase their damage as well (more than compensating for trap adjustments).

Edit: it's just really amusing to see people say we nerfed what is now an even more powerful build.
