The best of worlds would be for me; the announcement of a major content patch going live the next Tuesday, an expansion going live in March or April, and Diablo 4 ( albeit a grittier more gothic sense of style) being released in a year or 3. Some cool stuff among the other franchises wouldn't go amiss. I do play all of them. ( outside of the starcraft games.)

I have loved spirit barrage since the very first day Diablo 3 went live. I loved my witch doctor and tried many different builds. When the barber was first announced, a feeling of rising joy in my heart burst forth, and the grinding on live began. I knew with no supporting sets, the only option was going to be a LoN build, so I started hunting for Ancients. I periodically would check in on the PTR just to make sure the hunt was still worth it. As of this "hotfix" to The Barber and Gazing Demise, it seems the hunt is no longer worth it. Pre patch, a normal t13 rift would take anywhere from 4 to 10 mins, depending on map layout and build variation. Post patch, average clear is 12-19 mins. That is a SHATTERING amount of difference. I hope that at some point in the future, Spirit Barrage will be a usable skill again.
