I really don't think Soulrend deserved the nerf though honestly.

Played Soulrend this league and I do think it was deserved, played pretty random life based MoM+EB without much optimization and very average gear. Highest level I got in any league before Synth (since almost forever) was 95, that character got to 98 very easily. Clearing full screens of T16+ in a single click, with crazy survivability and barely any investment.

But my main issue with it was really scaling. Contrary to most skills there's not that much difference in damage between average and really good gear, making character progression feel pretty bland (with nac-dot being far better than anything else, and not that many sources of it).
