Barbarian: Hammer of the Ancients and Aspect of Berserk Ripping + Skullbreaker's Aspect + Aspect of Anemia have had their unintended damage output fixed.

Boosting low level players in higher difficulties also took a major hit with that. Previously the most efficient XP strategies revolved around farming Nightmare Dungeons where monsters are precisely 3 levels higher, but now we get barely any benefit for defeating higher level monsters anymore. Experience bonuses for being underleveled were nerfed. We expect Malignant Hearts will make up for most of this offensive loss during the Season, but players on the Eternal Realm are going to feel the difference. This lowers overall damage output of our builds but evens out the stat rolls on items, so that having suboptimal rolls isn't as punishing.

Offensive stats Vulnerable Damage and Critical Damage took massive hits while many stats in the additive damage category received buffs. In combination with the loss of 750 armor from Skulls in Jewelry (Malignant Hearts from the Season Theme) all builds are going to be significantly more squishy going into Season 1, making high level content much more challenging but smoothing out the progression curve in the endgame. Defenses on items were nerfed across the board.
