These two, and probably many other builds don’t use either Focus or Mana Strike.
I’ll agree that many do and need to use them, but lets not act like they’re a necessity, they’re a choice.
No, that’s just called balancing, and recognizing that there is more to this game than trying to make the greatest number of possible builds viable (whatever that very non specific term means).
Its a step in the right direction. Just because you’re reacting emotionally doesn’t make this not true, and doesn’t negate the fact that if it is true, then they’re taking steps in a direction many players have asked them to.
There are objectively more, you’re just focusing on the affixes themselves, but not considering the choices you’ll now have to make in skill trees, and the passive trees themselves, this isn’t even mentioning the new ring base type.
Exactly. But this is all subjective, and EHG are receptive to feedback. This is what they want to try. And honestly, it is objectively worse in one aspect, but could considerably engage the users in considering more choices now. And maybe that’s what they want.
