No, the problem is that leveling with bullshit skills is a stupid requirement for a ton of builds that suck complete ass until way, way later.
I understand build variety and that it's part of the game that certain builds are subject to those parameters. However, many builds are just absolutely awful to play until most/all the stars align from a gear and/or skill-point standpoint. The vast majority of builds need to have a "viability" point inherent in them, even the ones that take crazy gear/skill-point setups. Right now that just isn't the case.

My necro had like 6100hp, 1k es, bone armor necro skill, high level cwdt and 3k mana i used with MoM for the extra extra rippy stuff. 99% of the other time I never used mom and bone armor was pretty much fine for everything every 3 seconds.

Necro sustain is gaining % life as ES on corpse consumptions on one of the offering skills.

Well if you want to drop Spirit Offering, the other way is to get Bone Barrier with a high hp pool (often see 8k life necros in HC) and a good chunk of minions.

Oh dear, that multi modding nerf put a shitload of casual crafters out of business.
Yeah, it's pretty depressing if you like playing melee.

Can you clarify on this?
When you say 125% you mean how much you are generating inside of a second, but you won't get 125% of your life as ES at any give time, right?

I’m probably starting mines. I like to start something I’ve not played a lot, but I’ll see what the changes to soulrend are too. I had planned to spend a lot of time crafting a 2h cast on crit wep. That’s dead obviously. Might appear in the other mods, but I think the way it read is that they’re removing those mods entirely.
Kinda disappointed in the crafting changes because as someone that has to stay fairly casual, it was always a fucking pain to craft a 350+pdps wep using traditional methods and wayyyy more expensive. Neon sort of implied he didn’t like casual players killing content anyway. The real problem is that 99.99% of all rares that drop are trash. I’ll just build around particular uniques.

Correct, it's mostly sustain. You get 15% of your life as ES at any point as EHP.

That's not how I read it. My interpretation is that they are changing affixes that add a support gem and do something else are having the do something else removed.

The playstyle itself is not rewarding enough to go "this is fun!". If you played traps during Incursion, you can get your mine throwing speed down to a comparable speed but it still requires manual detonation instead of relying upon Sab's Chain Reaction. Thus, you need to find something else that benefits from mines to make it feel worthwhile. Like the Indigon and Enduring Mana flask abuse.
