I feel disrespected by GGG - This last Meta gem nerf is over the top

I leveled through to act4 as lightning, trying all the light spells and grinding through. Act4 sort of hit a wall and I swapped to cast on freeze. That pulled me through to maps which I just started yesterday and it was feeling pretty normal as far as my power in POE vs POE2 in early maps. I would generally clear whites quick and work the rares for 15-20 seconds. Bossing pre-maps took minutes still. This was not a "broken build". It was fun, fun should be desired.

This nerf severely guts the build and there's nothing Sorceress has available aside from meta skills to do any sort of combo what-so-ever. There's no explosions from anything, meta skills seemed to be your plan for Sorc. You completely destroyed Sorc. Back in POE we always got a full respec, but there were also always other skills/builds you could do. I checked gold prices and it's 72k to respec my 4 ascendancy points and another 98k to respec all the small passives I devoted to making the freeze setup work. That would be literally all my gold, shy of 3k.

Is the intent that I consider all my 53 hours on /played wasted and restart? Do you want us to test end-game? If so, let us play end-game. If I reroll another class will you completely gut it when I invest another 53 hours to get to maps?
