Now that the tree changes are up, I'm interested in seeing how the loss of minion damage nodes balances against the attack/cast speed nodes in the Sacrifice/Spiritual Command hubs (which are also partially switching positions).

It's a total loss of 33% minion damage (which is significant but not major), but a gain of 9% attack and cast speed. Every bit of increased cast speed is always welcome, so I'm hoping the damage will be a wash but we'll get a nice QoL boost.

Oh and, both Profane and Arcane Chemistry are getting a big buff, as each are getting an additional "8% increased effect of flasks on you" line(!). I'm not sure how much flask use you'll be aiming for in your 3.8 build, but my current SRS build is very heavy on flask use/buffs, but I've never used the witch flask hub since it never seemed worth it (most of my flask buffs are from gear), so that's certainly welcome to me.

EDIT:

Well, I just noticed that the new tree has completely displaced Gravepact. Sigh. There's two new hubs to replace it in the central area (a mana and minion and damage hub, and a minion life and resistances hub)

The damage is more than made up for (+35% goes up to +40%), and with one fewer points used, if you take mana and minion damage (plus it's more eHP if you use MoM like I do), so it seems fine, but you're still losing 8% attack/cast speed from the smaller gravepact nods. The actual gravepact hub is now deep in the Templar section, below sanctity,

I suppose you can use the extra point to take another node in the mercifully unchanged large Templar minion wheel (damage or cast speed, whatever you didn't take before). Alternately there's a new minion speed and damage hub to the right of the Witch area, which may provide alternatives. However, both that and Gravepact will require some extra points to reach, so while there's certainly more choices available, you can't "catch 'em all" unless you really go all-in on reaching all the minion nodes.

Everything has been updated to 3.8. The changes ended up doubling the original damage of the 3.7 version of the build, and more than that with high investment version. There's enough damage on the table you can pull back and add in more defensiveness, whether that's just simply going Bone Armor, adding zombies, or block, and still likely do the damage that the top end build did before. It's nuts.

The two wheels which contain Unholy Might and Onslaught for minions I declined to path to. I think either would be spicy for anointing an Amulet, but with how often Skulls get refreshed and over-ridden, any buffs kept would have questionable uptime. Therefore; go with more consistent damage rather than conditional damage.
