Ah, I'm liking all of these changes a lot. The Act 1 > Act 2 wall is so noticeable it has a really distorting effect on the game. As a WD, most abilities are pretty viable in Act 1, but then in Act 2 most aren't, which isn't much fun. Having a smoother curve, and a small potential to get good gear/legendaries/sets in Act 4 Hell/Act 1 Inferno should make all sorts of builds work.
The NV change is really great, too, though the consequences of it are going to be far-reaching. I hope they couple it with some sort of "memory" so you don't lose your stack if you drop link for a minute.

Yeah, it just resets everything if you dc. It would be nice to keep your maps in memory for a short time (5-10 minutes) if your connection dies. I must say, I think they're really on a good path here, despite the problems.
So what do you guys think about Patch 1.03 now that it is live?
First impression of act 2 inferno is not very favourable, the IAS nerf decreased my damage output by roughly 30% In addition it seems the Zombie Bears are broken, hopefully Blizzard can do something about that in a hotfix.
