Seems like good changes, for now.

I'm sad that apart from a minor buff to elemental bow skills, there's not much else of the things I actually wanted..

like
- 'slam' bow playstyle - an option to go for mega damage/AoE radius/angle instead of attack speed, as shooting more than once a second feels ridiculous
- option to hide flask effects on character, as they are extremely bad and distracting (and literally overwrite your MTX), especially on a pathfinder that has a permanent uptime on most of them
- option to hide Infused Channeling Support's visual effect
- making elemental bow mods exclusive with each other so you don't keep getting multiple elements at once (higher chance to get phys instead)
- making phys modifiers on weapons a bit more common, as it's much harder to get a good phys weapon for hit builds than it is getting a DoT weapon for DoT builds


I really hope the new league comes with a good way to craft high phys weapons, so it's actually possible to league start with something other than a damn caster for a change

New mastery: "Increases and Reductions to Arrow Speed also apply to Damage with Bows"

Quill rain master race now?

(yes I know less damage isn't completely counterbalanced by increased damage, but still...)

High-Impact Mine Support: Supported Skills now deal 56% less Damage at gem level 1 (previously 35%), and 50% less at gem level 20 (previously 28%).

For real??? Where's the buff in Ball Lightning to balance this, GGG? >:(

Buff Holy Flame Totem and Shockwave Totem damage too...

The Soul Mantle Unique Body Armour no longer has +1 to maximum number of Summoned Totems. Existing items can be updated with a Divine Orb and a momentary lapse in judgement.
