The YouTube video was nice but the patch notes looks horrible. More nerves again and a lot. Guess they didn't learn from 0.2 The player count this time how far is it suppose to drop?

It's literally impossible to tell from these patch notes whether things are nerfered or not, because the support gem change fundamentally changes how we build characters.

If you imagine how this would impact your current builds, then yes, there's lots of nerfs. But you're not going to use your current build anymore, it's obsolete. We're going to have to do entirely new builds because of the changes to skill gems and support gems, we are essentially starting from scratch.

For example, say you had a build where you used 3 skills. Your main skill might now be a little nerfed, but the damage increase in your 2nd and 3rd skill from the support gem changes might mean that your overall damage is up. There's also tons of changes to the passive skill tree and ascendancies that might increase your power too. Or maybe changes to the skills means you're better off pairing your main skill with something else now, since every single skill and support gem has been rebalanced.

There's just way too many changed factors here to conclude anything about nerfs or buffs. We have to play it to find out.
