Yeah if anything, Harvest has actually been nerfed imo. Flat damage no longer scaling with intelligence and instead Dexterity makes complete sense, and is probably for the best, but its still a nerf either way.
Ontop of that, the node “Symbol of Loss” is now 4 points from 5, which is tragic and a pointless nerf, because that node plays a heavy part in Harvest’s DPS. There were some minor node changes that are good, like the attack speed while dual wielding, and the global crit chance/multi node though.
My main gripe with Harvest, and more overall Lich, is the devs insistence on the Lich having multiple synergies and avenues with Poison spec. It makes no sense to me, and imo the poison stuff would be far better suited to Warlock, who to me is a class that revolves almost exclusively around DoT builds.
Soul feast should be a Lich skill, and AoD should be Warlock, but this point is kind of opinionated and isnt concrete fact.
Anyway, continuing with this posts topic, I definitely think Harvest is better than it was before (though this may only apply to my specific harvest build), yet I still think it just wasnt changed enough to match the buffs given to Lich and its new skill Flay.

The Harvest skill is fine for a secondary skill for Flay.
The problem is when we use Harvest as the main skill and Flay as the secondary. I’m not sure if this interaction was tested or wanted. A blast to clean monoliths, but fails miserably against bosses, we need more Juice here.
In theory, the Agonizing Siphon node had a 25% chance per point to gain a stack when we hit a boss, but the Wandering Spirits are useless and sucks, remove them. Instead, give us a real buff and big numbers against bosses here.

Yeah, it definitely should be the case that both Flay and Harvest are viable as primary skills. And clearly alot of love was given to Flay which is cool. But I personally just enjoy Harvest (though I might be biased since ive played/used Harvest since before 1.3) and I definitely get the feeling that Harvest wasnt given the same love as Flay, though this is probably unintentional from the devs.
