I'm really happy with the pace that they are updating the game. Every week or two we get a good content patch. We couldn't ask for this much service from even Blizzard.
Yep, Aventurine is surprising the shit out of me with these patches. A couple hicups here and there but overall they are doing great.

Any transfer buff is a primalist nerf unless damage balancing is also applied. I will wait and see before ultimately judging though. However, I only win a fight as a primalist by running people out of stats. Any transfer buff without an accompanying buff to the stat damage I do with virtuous wrath will negatively affect me.

They will probably fix Primal Surge to actually top off stats after the buff and maybe last bit longer since its useless now.
Other than that Primalist will continue to be everyone's punching bag as they attempt to stat people out in excellent gear and get rolled on everytime they try to solo. Poor primalist lol.
That all depends on how much its buffed. Mind you a wis primalist will still have an advantage with transfers. Their consecrate might be less usefull...however we know for a fact that transfers will not be buffed as much as they were when the game bugged and everyone saw a 3 point increase per tick.
Im guessing its going to be more like a one point per tick addition. Consecrate will still be needed, and wis primalists will still xfer like a beast.
To say its a primalist nerf seems like a knee jerk reaction imo
Now a warrior nerf, that might be needed and hopefully comes on Friday (we all know the patch is going to be delayed until next week though)
Primalist is a rough way to go when solo. I did come across this video the other day a was pretty impressed. Granted he's sporting 120k+ pp and dies a lot. With a bit of adjusting from AV I think a Dex Primalist is a workable option. Let's hope AV gives them a few more options soon.
