So nothing really changed for the seasonal theme for S23? No 2nd theme for season 23 and the follower revamp is going to apply to seasonal and non-seasonal.
Like this, I guess I will just pick DH in S23 for the free UE set so I can finish the S23 Guardian as fast as possible.

I knew Firebird needed a nerf, but I’m shocked to see it nerfed in 3 ways. It’s even worse than the first version on the PTR.

1 additional pierce for NCS (up from 3 to 4).
Well, I wasn’t really putting much faith in Blizz in bearing good news anyway.

It seems like you did a complete rebuild of Rathma… That wasn’t tested on PTR… What was the point of the time spent by the folks who tested, and provided feedback?
This has got to be the most confused set of patch notes I have ever seen.

So firebird wizard nerfed to the ground. It needed a nerf for sure. But this is way too much. Can you please atleast reconsider some of the changes and buff it a little bit? This nerf is just way too much

Did ya’ll need to nuke Firebirds into oblivion? What’s the point? Sure, it needed tweaking, but making it about 1/4th as powerful??

The Mirror Image version of firebird will still probably crush it.
Rathmas is dead, the little tweaks isn’t going to help it.
GoD is now a T-16 set.
Witch Doctor still got boned hard.
The Follower stuff is fantastic as it was in the PTR and Blackthorn’s replaces Swampland Waders, which is now completely useless.

Big changes to Necros and Wizards that were never tested… one extra pierce for DHs… radio silence on the WD matter. Hmm.

Season 23 should be rethemed to be named as The Nerfs on Nephalems.
As mentioned before, the follower system revamp is the only thing they did right in patch 2.7.0.

An echo from last patch notes:
Next patch (2.7.1): 100+ legendary items updates for the greatest player satisfaction ever.
