not really , it just means a few more points will be spent there while having another skill with less points .also note that overall the damage from ways is better , so the build gets actualy stronger .

seams most of the underplayed builds in my compilation will get some well deserved buffs . it will be a pleasure updating them starting from next week .
What would you say is a safe build to start the new ladder with?
I tired a bowazon over the last few days but found the 0 defense really difficult
well , all characters have their ranks , so choose one with 8 , 9, or 10 for safety . i'd try a holy melee build as first option since it got some nice buffs . i will also most probably update those holy melee builds first since i smell a general love going towards the holy melee

the new patch is just bringing some balance and it is made more intuitive for new joiners . i don't know why some people have the impression that it will be like a whole different game or something , 'cause it's not .
most Miniguides will keep the same gameplay and skillplans as they had untill now . There is no major rework required .
the (underused) skills themselves just got stronger overall so that new builds may be played more + the gear will have some re-adjustments in therms of creation options and available stats . And since many of the builds here use exactly those underused skills for more flavour , they now have the chance to step forward into the light more than ever .
the overpowered builds got nerfed , but there arn't so many of them here that will suffer from that .
i'm looking at the 2017 patch as of a "median easy mode" since most of things got easier : no more heroic shields , auto gold pickup , free maps , crafts provide all bonusses and by that it's easyer to get a good craft , ubers are easier to do, most spells got overall stronger than they used to be , reduced timers , increased durations + more stuff ment to make it all easier .
