Good Change!!!!!
Path of Nerfs will continue until morale improves
GGG hates Melee like it is a plague
Where's my Cast When Damage Taken gem? I was hoping it would make it into the game this patch...

Rather uninspiring changes for melee.

I don't care, overall, for POE2. But geez, its quite depressing reading through these changes.
I almost enjoyed reading the tears in the comment section about "muh build is nerfed" before even playing as much as I did the patch notes. Every update, love it.
Man, that Sorcery Ward is big oof

Yea, nerf Witchhunter so even less people play it
So no performance fixes whatsoever? Just some visual changes (so potentially new bugs) for acts 1-3, which were the only acts that worked perfectly fine, while towns and temple from act 4 onward go to absolute gutter and crash server connection.
ES destruction continues... CI seems to be expendable passive with these nerfs.
Melee nerfed and you gut shield wall by 50% for the massive 3% of the playerbase that used it. GG :D
