Hello, couldn’t reply to the old topic anymore so here’s a new one.
Old one is here: Skill Buff discussion (400 posts) - #34 by Ruined-2215

So, it was great that we got new sets! Really, didn’t see that coming in 2017. Or in 2018. For fun, I thought it would nice to check how well the new set covered the inquiries of this poll. Naturally balance has changed a lot since these days but this is not so serious post.
