You also seem to not think in terms of economy changing. Exalts will be cheaper than even in 3.19 leading to simple Mist bait jewelry crafts. alt spam and item for two desirable mods and regal +3 exalt slam for an item with a decent chance to have 3 desirable mods and 3 mediocre mods. Use the mists and hope for the good mods to hit big.
If fractured jewelry items will be affected by the mist correctly and fractured mods will be upgraded, you can probably get decent mist bait with just a few exalts worth of bubblegum currency.

It isn't just one mod. You can have up to 3 good mods and that mod i refer to will boost damage significantly over previous leagues. Like assuming 60 amulet and 40 ring are maximum, you get 213% more damage total from the 3 jewelry pieces from just DOT multi compared to 65% more damage from rings and amulets in the past from just DOT multi. Obviously it is an end game thing however. But you cant use mirrored items in the crafting bench AFAIK so it will be difficult to get top tier gear this season. If you arent using the bench, then sure you are weaker.

EDIT:Just realized DOT multi isn't multiplicative like I thought. So it is 140% more vs 56% more.

And now turn on your head and think about how rare it is to get 3 necessary mods and stop talking nonsense. Play the game already before you declare that this is a buff of DoT builds.
Stop trolling me and wasting my time. Open the ring mods page after all. Or amulets. Look at the DoT builds and imagine how difficult it is to craft the necessary items so that they can then risk them on a mirror-bench, which also rarely appears on maps.
And maybe then you will stop talking nonsense about how easy it is to get 3 necessary mods. Despite the fact that you don't even take into account that at the same time you get 3 negative mods. And you can't edit any of this, much less use catalysts.

@VernerHolt and Thesuffering:
At least you guys get it right!
Some things get buffed, others get nerfed.
While maybe some nerfed things get a new tool to outperform their nerf, with potential of getting even stronger than prenerf. (like the dots imo)

My favourite build last season got it´s life sustain more than halved and now takes 6% more elemental damage on top of that. I don´t see any point in crying about it.. but i guess some people like complaining :D

I really like the new Grand Spectrum jewels, very cool

I usually used 3 res spectrums to cover my resistances in white/yellow maps, as they were usually dirt cheap, so I can focus on my gear, and drop them later.

45% inc life with 3 life spectrums, that's certainly interesting for some builds, also for endgame.
Edit: especially for builds that dont want to travel to the center life wheel or buy those small life cluster jewels. Having options is always good.

i'm somewhat surprised they limited it to 3 still, as open sockets are rather difficult to come by. Why not reward a player who wants to fully invest into sockets by providing a higher limit?
