welcome back, and yes the treenisher is still playable :D

meta changed a lot in the latest patch, mainly due to the removal of elemental pierce MOs

Welcome back. 2017 patch is bad:

- lot's of game design and balance mistakes done which is result of non-tested patch/season release
- Damage and HP changes is not balanced which results in some non-intentional build nerfs.
- Removing lot of stuff from MO mechanic makes it boring and removing pierce especially kills a lot of old fun builds
- Broken and bugged high end ubers which not require any skill and mechanics to beat (only luck matters) - Void, Uldyssian
- Avoid mechanic left on bosses with increased HP which results in dumb long fights where you try to hit with Purify
- Due to HP increase some bosses turns into retardly long fight when it suppose to be mechanic wise battle. Astrogha for example, you just hit-rejoin-hit 200 times to kill boss. Very amusing. The same story for Zorun Tzin.
- Lot lot more...... Marco and other don't ever bother to beta test their changes to make sure its good before release

As result of all above stuff - few playable builds in the end, less diversity, stupid boss fights (ultimative content) which was made with Heroic Shield in mind etc etc.
So it's not good old Median anymore.

PS. 2016-15 was the best times. Hoping for Sigma
