Just thought I'd add an extra comment in here now that patch is out. Appears they are indeed tweaking already existing skills with each patch up until (and beyond?) 2.0. An example of this tweaking is they changed aurapulse to be more similar to how... the earth punch thing (it's been a while) used to look but with aurapulse style light show~

Pretty sure there were other skills that got a makeover but I don't know them off by heart, anyways back to awesome patch.
