Freeze pulse quallity untouched and freezing pulse itself nerfed.

Totems nerfed even though almost no one plays them with how aweful they are.

Yeah, GGG still doesn't understand what made PoE the success it became nor does it understand why it's player retention has been none existant since Delve (ok, not since Delve but that's when it started to drop until it got to the point it is at).

The worst example of this is everything we hear of PoE 2, the more they talk about PoE 2 them more it becomes obvious that it's all about good looking stuff and a complete failure to understand why it will not be popular. The idea of grabbing the people who played PoE a long time ago and never coming back. Yeah, GGG never understood what made them quit and they are making PoE 2 even worse than PoE 1 was at launch for the crowd they want to give them a second chance.

Oh well, at least GD has a decent ARPG.

Vortex: Now has a 0.750 second Cast Time (previously instant)

This is so lame, I'm disgusted. Instead of adding more instant damage skills with cooldown you remove the only that existed.
