Nope, DH is actually stronger than before by a bit. It just requires the player to be a little bit more proactive now, which is why lazy players who got too used to the sentries doing all of the dirty work will certainly agree with you.
Conduit pylon - that thing is what really got nerfed into uselessness. They need to buff its damage by 5x at least to make it worth something even on T6.
Nothing really has changed. Rift density is fixed finally, ancient items are boring, also not very rare at all. I don't play a monk, but I do know they got some major fixes. For me, I got depressed and bored in about an hour after playing. It's the same exact scenery, game play(rifts and Grfits) and loot all over again.

100% agree here. Conduit needs buffed. It's damage is way to low. Right now, it's not fun anymore when you get one. Nothing dies. Not saying go back to what it was. But defiantly increase the damage by 2x At the minimum.

Yup I have to agree. I have not played much in the last while and installed D2 again...... I play mostly adventure and rifts, we need new zones in adventure and some new bounties, i'm sooooo tired of killing Queen Araneae, I get this one and others almost every time I play... Even if I had quests to do in adventure mode I think it would be more fun then it is now..
Feels great to be able to play monk proactively, same goes with DH. i have yet to try barb, but it looks really good right now.
Also I didnt stock up on mats, so i dont get to hurr-durr craft ancients in the first 5 mins so I actually have some things to do, aside from trying to get decent rorg for my other alts (if it be ancient, the better!). lots of playing time ahead
This patch is complete garbage for wizards, they changed hydra stats slightly and nerfed firebird DoT range, which makes it even harder to stay alive and kite, making the whole point of firebird mute.
I hit one of the new treasure goblins that shat out blood shards - was quite impressive how many he dropped (couple of hundred I think).
That, and saving a bunch of stash space by re-stacking my mats into piles of 5000, are the only changes I've experienced so far.
Oh, actually, that and the unsurprising discovery that the change to the "You're Not The Boss Of Me" achievement has rendered it broken and unable to be completed. Not sure why they have such difficulty getting "kill this list of things" achievements right.

The range is 100 yards I believe. If you need to be that far away. Your doing something wrong. I disagree. The wizard is doing better now. Since Hydra is fixed and not bugged anymore. I'm ticking over 1bil in Grifts, throwing down consistent DPS and buffing the group with EE, conflagration, ect.
Defense of wise, I was able to clear a 39 solo today pretty easily. Should be able to get up to at lease 42ish+ with some RNG help. My game play tho I don't kite, I move around. But Don't run away 50 yards. Using blizzard,hydra,black hole or meteor and consistently using Electrocute.
If you read the patch notes, there are minor fixes almost at every corner, but nothing big. I do like the DH and Monk set changes though, I havent really figured out if its a nerf or buff, but atleast the speccs are more fun to play =)
gems stack to 5000! crafted an ancient reapers wrap (so-so), found an ancient pair of pants -cant remember- got it from a horadric cache. got a blood shard goblin and a gem goblin in one rift (liked the blood shard goblin).
did see over 1,000 people in public rifts, normally only see about 500. lets see how long that lasts
found a goblin pack in a T6 rift and got most of em (maybe all) and actually got 3 legs (never got any before)
DH isnt as bad as it could have been, but I still need to learn how to play it this new way better. I may be able to take advantage of the differences, I just dont know yet. since I have a kridershot, it hasnt changed too much for me, though. thinking of using the gogok gem, it might be good for my DH now.
