Lucky for me i nevere played CI builds, i was waiting for 3.0, so i think i'll do fine. The build i plan to use takes many hybrid nodes (life/ES or evasion/es) so i can either swap to life/ES with vaal pact or drop pact and run with the new CI since i won't notice any difference.
From the manifesto, hybrid armor should still have lower values but will be buffed to have more total stuff.
