With the new patch,we saw val pack penality to leech rate remove. AcuiTy nerf was balance around val pack performance. Are we gonna see an adjustment to the glove?

Like raising the ffeciency like you are planning to do with vaal pack?

Even reverted to its "former" 100%, Acuity still will be far weaker, than before. Now everyone can get Vaal Pact for almost the same effect (not counting mana leech), and with just a minor drawback...

I See it this way: with acuity you can have blood rage ending Up with free life leech and free frenzy charges and instant mana leech
Not counting that acuity Saves me at least 2 x 30 int nodes and 2 nodes for vaal pact atm

Yeah, they're still great gloves (besides instant leech, they also have decent stats - high armour, life, int and crit chance).
But you wont get OP "1.5 times MORE life leech" (compared to Vaal Pact), as before. You can use Blood Rage, of course, but it wont give as much life leech as Acuity did previously (at least, if you invest skill points/gear into leech) Also, life regen nodes are usually available for STR side of the tree, where far too few crit nodes are (for crit build), so, you're generally forced to use boots slot for life regen to sustain Blood Rage.
Acuity is still BiS for many crit builds, probably, but not as OP (and mandatory, sometimes) as before.

I believe in Gemini Claw (14 mana per hit) in Awakening. Hope it wont get nerfed...
