With the Knockback being moved to Deadly Reach, I wonder if Way of the Hundred Fists still keeps it. I'm still not a big fan of Blazing Hydra and the way they changed Conflagration passive. It's going to be interesting to see how my Frenzy/Berserker barb will have to be reworked. There are so many skills that I won't need in that build (WoB, Battle Rage, Overpower (no heal from Revel)) that I might as well change him to the throwing barb I always wanted to try. Also Vampire Bats having no channeling cost is kinda ridiculous. Don't know what's so vampiric about them but it seems to me like my Fetish Sycophants/Voodoo WD won't be actually needing any mana to function now :-D Still waiting for them to change the balance between Zombie Charger Undeath and Zombie Bears. To me Bears still come out on top most of the time which is sad. They should also maybe think about reworking Spider Queen similarly to what they did with Pyrogeist. And I absolutely love the shielding mechanic on some of the Wizard skills. My melee Battle Mage is going to love that. Overall I like many of the changes though I'm still concerned that some skills will remain mandatory (how is a WD supposed to have reliable survivability without Spirit Walk, with the nerf to Overpower, Revenge will become even more prevalent) which I really really hate.
A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head!
