Will O Wisp - Pet Cabalist - Not a Dead build, but not really good any more either.
Divine Defiled - Pet Defiler - Dead build partially brought back to barely breathing by Aetherreach gloves.
Same applies to all the Diviner Pet builds not going for Vitality, which without Shaman support struggles for RR.
So essentially 1.1.6.0 made Diviner set extremely niche.
Nerf to Bysmiel’s Mindweaver - none of the pet builds that were posted here using Familiar were outputting too much damage, either single target or AoE to make sense for the nerf when compared with the likes of Ghol Blightfiends. But I assume it was due to the hellhound buff + new off-hand?
Cataclysm’s Eye losing +1 to skills. Granted it was a general item that became BiS for many builds. But that was because the lack of skill points and the stats it provided along with it. If alternative Pet options existed, no one would have used Cat’s Eye instead. Conjurers still got stuff like Blood Orb, but Ritualists and Cabalists suffer.
Ofcourse, new builds will be made and people will simply adapt and move on. But I for one am not exactly pleased.
Hellhound did get buffed for sure, but Lost Souls blocks too many items that would have been BiS for Hounds and without them, it just feels like gimping yourself by focusing on Hounds instead of something else. Still would have preferred if the buff had came in the form of a new Set instead of it still being based on Lost Souls.
And lastly, I am aware that there might be those who have different opinions on this, but you asked for mine and so here it is.
