Thoughts on 2.6

This time I really have not a clue what to expect. Perhaps more perandus/breach mechanics AKA random packs of trash mobs usually OP for early stages of the game.

What do you expect on this one?

Updates needed for the next league, primarily.

Would be nice to see life getting buffed, I miss playing life builds, been a while

Melee getting nerfed and ES buffed

Chris Wilson made a post on Reddit regarding 2.6, calling it the "reverse" league.

Basically every character starts at level 100 with T1 gear. They then have to progress from the endgame to the twilight strand in normal. He hasn't made it official yet, but the general thought process is:

Kill Shaper
Kill Guardians
Reverse work your way through Atlas, uncompleting them each time
Kill Malachai Merc
Go to Act 3, then 2, then 1.
Repeat until you reach Twilight Strand and give the exile his starter gem back.

After you kill a certain amount of mobs, you "delevel". Each time you die you gain XP.

For reaching the twilight strand in normal we get an empty flask MTX to fill our tears with.

Chris has said that 2.6 will be "fitting as the end of the current era" if I remember correctly. So I would expect some kind of apocalyptic something or other.
