So obviously a lot of people are bummed. So for those that are staying, and trying to be somewhat optimistic, what do you think currently looks like a viable set up for season 1? Infinimist still seems to be decent especially with shadow buffs. The blood Lance aspect looks like it might be nutty if it doesn't nuke the server.

Anybody have a wide range of decent gear that could do some testing? I only had spear set up pretty well and don't have much in the way for blood aspects to do any meaningful tests. I want blood to be viable more than anything else so I'm curious to see if any of these changes has brought it up above useless. A surge build would be amazing if anything has changed with scaling.

Edit: another test I'd be interested to see is checking guaranteed overpower hits with and without essence glyph to see of that somehow scales OP up now.
