I agree, but to be honest I was running acrobatics with above 75% dodge, precisely because wind dancer staying 24/7 up.

On top of all other defense layers. I mean, it is not good to zoom maps, and never die even once, and to have warriors playing melee and actually getting one shotted by some stupid thing like a water hag...

This persistent buff actually allowed us to take "dodge all hits" without any downsides.

Yeah I agree, I did the same on my Pathfinder. But that will still be possible in 0.2. It will be harder to achieve of course, but it's soooo much worse before u get to that point now. I remember the days with 15-20k evasion, getting nuked by any slam monster that would jump me. Now they don't only slam me to <30% hp, but also remove wind dancer which makes any hit after that even more dangerous. (also that 15-20k is now closer to 10-15k with WD value nerfs)

Like I said, it's fine to target the high end acro builds, but I think they failed with the way of attempting this. Nerfing Wind Dancer like that also nukes ES/Eva builds, which rely on high evasion to get good Ghost Dance procs. I can't talk alot about that tho, since I never played it.

They didn't nerf ES. They nerfed mana stacking.
The helmet and the amulet were the amalgamation of multiple design brain farts.

They certainly nerfed ES because they nerfed atziris and disabled grim feast. that in an of itself is like a 70% less ES nerf for alot of classes.

Shock siphon gone too.
Not sure how my infernalist is gonna manage with constantly burning themselves now- will be fun figuring it out.

May I remind you that despite the gem is gone, meditation is actually there.
And the other guy can leech CHAOS and Elemental to ES now.

Sitting still for a couple seconds to recharge your enegry shield faster is nowhere near losing 70% of your max ES.

Yes there is 1 ascendancy in the game that can leech elemental and chaos as ES, ES is fine for every other class too i guess
