Whirling Slash nerf - a weak non-meta ability made weaker

I rerolled into a very bad and weak build (Ritualist Spear Bleed) to make the game more fun because the game got too easy as ED + Contagion and then that build is nerfed.
My mind is actually blown. I cannot believe that I intentionally roll into something weak and bad, and it gets nerfed the very next day in a hotfix.

Meanwhile LA Deadeye is just sitting there...

Is this an out of season April fools joke?

Yea no idea what is going through these people's heads. Whirling slash is completely nuked. Not even fun now. Prolly done playing until/ if they bring back some speed.
They also detected fun with minions and nerfed them too

And the performance on PS5 somehow got even worse, a lot worse. I might check out POE2 in a few years and see if it got better but for now I'm done.

Time to swap to lightning arrow.

BTW, does anybody know why this game lacks build diversity?
I can't figure out why it's nowhere to be found! What a mystery!
Yep, GGG just being inconsistent. It's like a bunch of people working together but not communicating. Everyone does what they believe should be done,but not ask how will this affect the rest of the changes.....while that one guy keeps on buffing their favorite skills/class/items.

They won't nerf lightning arrow because reddit would blow up I guess?
