Yeah, because that 10% more dmg was the only thing that made SST viable. If you rly want to play SST, try other ascendencies, there are better choices even than current Deadeye.

Yes but this means we have one less viable build as of now.
Isn't this the opposite of offering a healthy and diverse Build variety in PoE?

That is NOT what this means. You can't just ignore everything new that these changes will open up and say 'this nerfs build variety because it nerfs the one thing I choose to focus on'.

I'm playing SST right now. The clear is great because you can get awakened fork and a 6 link Lioneye pretty easily.

However you guys are totally right about the single target being horrible. I have tried everything I can thing of. Melee crit nodes don't work so you have to go resolute. I use both totems with multitotem. Sniper's mark, warbannner, Maim/Flesh&Stone etc.

It needs More damage on just the first hit.

You should be rewarded for targeting a boss or a rare.

You also can't exert SST with Warcries.

So that is scuffed too
