Patchnotes in short form:

Better announced Attacks with more damage (laggy Servers) = more Damage taken
Immortal Call nerf = more Damage taken
Block nerf = more Damage taken
Evasion nerf trough new Accuracy behavior = more Damage taken
Energy Shield nerf = Less effective HP Pool
Warlords Mark nerf = Casters can't use it, Endurance Charges gone
No new LP Nodes (Blood Magic Wheel nerfed), only DPS Nodes
Improvements to melee Skills are questionable. Damage was not the problem. Clear potential still is

I want a 3 screens wide Aoe for Earthquake. You only nerfed the survivability and hope people will play this game now longer to reach level 100

This. I'm trying to figure out how this is a net win for Melee. I have a great DPS character with a Frost Blades Scion, that clears relatively fast, thanks to the now gutted Multisrike.

but I'm only able to chain kill a screen, at best. I don't have the AOE - Move - AOE - Move - AOE - Boss - Dead 30 second map screen capability of the top ranged builds.

BUT, to have even a modicum of survival, I'm relying heavily on skills that now all share a cooldown. Even then, It's an awful lot of RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! from things, and zipping around.

They are putting a TON of emphasis on this animation cancelling, as it being the saving grace of melee, but I can't even begin to figure out what kind of DPS loss I'm staring at, because the day before the patch goes live, I'm still trying to parse the data that the third party tools have (which isn't complete, because they don't have gem changes), to see just how terrible they gutted the melee skills that people were using.

I've lost a lot of confidence in GGG over the past 3 months, and at this point, if I can't rebuild my chars to be at least what they were in 3.6, I'm just done.

Between the "It's hard!" bullshit excuses, the fact that it took them 6 months to fix the standard map system that they broke, knowing the change would break it (that's when you say: STOP! WAIT! DON'T LAUNCH THAT! WE NEED TO HAVE A FIX FOR THIS BEFORE WE GUT IT!), the constant gutting of Molten Strike, the Melee "fix" patch coming with a ton of survivability losses, and very little promise of clear speed fixes, coupled with GGG's absolute infatuation with obfuscating basic, and fundamental information for their game from the playerbase, I'm just not having fun anymore. It was one thing, when you needed to do a ton of research during open beta, or right after the game launched. They were a small company, just getting the game live, and into the hands of the players.

But this far out from the original launch of the game, and to still be so heavily reliant on third party tools to do basic calculations, and planning for the game, because there are ZERO in game / on site tools to handle these needs is just unacceptable.
