I'm betting Bloodseeker won't be nerfed, the downside of being stuck with a sub 300 dps weapon is enough. Also, having to use blade flurry to map.

My biggest issue and probably my personal #1 wanted nerf out of anything. Maybe tied with vaal pact.
Lots of QQ coming out but I think most those nerfs are reasonable (and they don't fuck with my typical builds so yay).

20 bucks says sunder takes a nerf in the notes on wens. Probably smallish but I'd bet it will be there. They never drop all the nerfs pre patch notes. Gotta spread the butthurt over a period of time.

Personally I think Bisco makes PoE feel almost like a game with a loot system designed by reasonably sane people. I really don't want to see it go, but I also dislike having to throw out any build that uses a specific neck until I've already got 3-4k chaos in gear and currency like last league.
I still think the XP increase was extremely uncalled for, and I'd also argue that Dark Pact got hit too hard by both direct and indirect nerfs.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Bisco's shows up in there too. Pretty hard to believe Sunder won't be touched either, even though it's less that Sunder is too good and more that other melee skills are ass. Even if Sunder was the best melee skill, I find it clunky as hell to play even just to level with. Then again, other people hate Cyclone and I loved playing it last league so much I went through three different characters that all used it.
I'd also like to believe that Slayer (which I already liked far more than Zerk+VP for 99% of the content in the game) will be left alone to take the new VP, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen either.

XP neft is meh to me, I don't think i've ever taken anyone past 95 before deciding to reroll a more expensive build. And I play while drinking / smoking / watching shows so my deaths tend to come pretty randomly lol.
Bisco's just pisses me off. I really don't mind the ol 'magic find' build but the item bastardizes the whole dichotomy between magic find and non magic find.
And ya, the problem with sunder is it's basically like some OP green or blue gem with what it does. Ironic one of the few decent 'melee' skills is a ranged skill.

If it wasn't my busy season i'd have done DP for the 10 day. This new league is horrible timing for me. Usually I poopsock for at least 2 weeks strait but I'm gonna have a hard time keeping up until I can get out the sock after the new years.
btw think imma go EEs ngamahu's style build with either slayer or zerker. See if vaal pact can still hold up decently.

I adapted it to Slayer so I could still run labs and found that to be far better than Zerk for anything but the big bosses. If Slayer somehow makes it through the patch notes unchanged then there's pretty much zero chance I'll play anything else. Slayer + VP + Ngamahu build .... I don't see how anything else can compete.
But like I said, there's no way Slayer isn't getting a beatdown with the nerf bat. You'll probably have to take VP just to come close to what it was before.

That... doesn't actually sound that bad. Brutal Fervour becomes utterly worthless, but that just means you take Impact instead and your Cyclone gets free +30% AOE size. You can still end up with 58% leech after Vaal Pact, which is getting moved to a spot that practically any Duelist build is going right by anyway.
