The complete lack of Inna's changes and the absolute devastation that Raiment of a Thousand Storms faces is disgusting.
As far as I could tell, the vast majority of the feedback was
I really like how strong and fast my generators are now.
I really hate how Dashing Strike is a thing.
So their solution is to nerf the generator damage and try to promote more Dashing Strike.
[MENTION=6037]Dark Link[/MENTION] I believe they've changed Tal Rasha's to be additive, so it's a nerf compared to pre-patch for absolute damage, but I think the overall uptime and not having to spam so hard helps make up for it. It should be an 8x damage increase now for the 6-piece alone. Combined with the 2-piece, Nilfurs, hnnnnnnngggggggggg. Delsere's much weaker in this case, but also less restrictive in that it doesn't absolutely require 4 offensives and constant rotation.
There's a bunch of interesting legendary power updates that look very promising, but some of these set changes just don't make any sense. Wrath of the Wastes still has Rend for some reason, when everyone has been complaining that stopping to cast Rend is awkward. They've at least changed the delay between stopping, so hopefully that helps, but the Dust Devils effect for Whirlwind is weird since now Whirlwind itself doesn't do pomegranate and you're basically playing ranged kiting?
Why did they buff Roland's 6-piece effect? No one wants that. Everyone wants either a duration buff or a global effect so other skills can refresh it. They also nerfed the Shield Bash bracers which were stupid strong, but they nerfed both effects, while Gavel of Judgment for Barbarians gets to refund 75% to 100% of HotA's cost.
Natalya's is weird since it went from super exclusive Rain of Vengeance to suddenly weird support buff. Hopefully, Rain of Vengeance does 800% damage instead of 500%. There's the new belt, but if you take the most powerful Rain of Vengeance Rune and pair it up with N6, it's suddenly a 10% damage increase.
Unhallowed Essence is still Meticulous Bolts set. Where is the promised incentive to use Multishot?
Inna's weapon is still pomegranate. Thanks.
Witch Doctors are looking pretty cool though, and it looks like they can T&T + MoJ + CoT with Z6 if they RoRG, sadly giving up Tall Man's Finger or Little Man's Finger, but there's flexibility there.
I really want to see Fire Birds 4-piece with Flame Ward or Convergence if it actually procs per tick. Triumvirate seems cool minus the fact that it's Tal Rasha's horrible 3 seconds all over again. Good luck.
