As long as the infinite scalar exists, players will gravitate toward the builds with the highest number of useful multipliers. Hence, Squirts + CoE. Unfortunately, being a multiplier, Squirts would be the most likely candidate for a nerf due to its overarching influence on other multipliers.
Yup you are 100% right, but some of the forum users will not understand this, not even with maths in hand.

One nerf I’d love to see undone is the entire removal of the proc scalar from Caltrops: Jagged Spikes. It was reduced to 0.0% because it allowed a life leech build to essentially live forever kiting enemies. Now that it’s LoH and not LL and is a fixed amount, that proc scalar needs to be unnerfed. Having a kite build was one of the best times the DH had in terms of fun gameplay. Would like to see that return.
Fun times, this post it’s pure nostalgia, back when caltrops was not a meme xD.
Don’t forget about nether tentacles doing multihits, i think that they should bring multihit nether tentacles back, with adjusted numbers to not be broken.
