Exciting, would love to do some testing.

This is always my favorite part of PoE. New sweeping changes go into the game. Everyone is like "oh no, my builds! I quit." New content is released. New interesting builds are created. Everyone is fine. Love seeing what people come up with.

Yeah, like the last "big shakeup" where all those people who were playing tornado shot and flameblast continued playing tornado shot and flameblast, along with all the people who got their builds wrecked.

New builds incoming! Not...

EDIT: fixed some punctuation and grammar

This. Also, I hope a Zealots Oath gets a rework, because that has to be the least used keystone in the game.

Here are some other specific areas that have been reworked:

Buff Effect bonuses have been removed from the passive tree.

This is HUGE. For every build in the game almost; RIP summoners?

Summoners are most likely gonna slot more mana and regen passives in order to work around the nerf.

Either that or auras are getting buffed. That's a lovely thought.

Wowza would love to do some testing

OMFG. Fixing shotgun?
Pinch me!
Revamped mob difficulty in normal?
Wow!
Multiplicative attack scaling?
*faints*

Awesome. Well done GGG.

All about dat melee love! RIP Ranged! XD

Yay, no more shotgun effect........... it was exactly what we were waiting for.....more nerfs.......

Considering the EB nerfs as well, the nerf hammer landed a critical strike on summoners :/
I'd like to see aura buffs but that would make balancing them a nightmare, certain melee builds might be insane.
