Tbh I haven’t really noticed a difference since the change. Yes I too love corrupted builds and no I don’t stay back with a bow. I love to melee up with my thralls. The change from 4 to 3 hits is still plenty especially if you run corrupted authority. You can easily heal back up after flubbing 1 or 2 dodges with the speed well kitted thralls heal you back up.
Edit: Sorry just noticed the public beta client tag.
They didn’t list any changes to it in the patch notes. Did they change it yet again?
