To be honest, I'm baffled. A month after an intense discussion about oskills broke out, you go ahead and rework 50 oskills. I'm amazed at how close to the community you are and that you're actually listening to the community request. (unlike Blizzard's mobile diablo) I really appreciate your efforts. Thank you very much for these changes.
In addition to that, there is no demerit from playing hardcore now. What that all means is that everyone can start in hardcore now and even if they die, they can still continue playing and selling their items in softcore. And if you get up high on the ladder and die, it's still an achievement everyone can see. I guess everyone will start playing hardcore from now on, huh?
In addition to that I find it really fantastic that you lowered the resistance penalty. Because I noticed that most wdm based uniques don't grant any resist at all, so wdm builds were a lot more reliant on perfect gems and mystic orbs than caster builds. This will adjust the two playstyles in a good way, whilst still giving caster builds an advantage.
Great changes overall. I'm looking forward to the patch notes.
