No, not in the alpha. not really interested on testing on that level.
I have heard of some of the nerfs such as the ones to Chaos Innoculation and Dual Totems and have seen the whining on the forums. I'm not particularly worried about it though since the 'fixes' were already confirmed to be experimental. Some of those changes won't even make it to the beta and if something is nerfed too far they can always have a patch to boost it later. As Chris said it's okay to have something slightly overpowered, but when something goes overboard or isn't working as intended, it just needs to be reworked. I'm interested to see what final solutions they come up with.
In any case I think people are just too quick to start worrying over something they really don't know much about.
I'm probably going templar for my first build. Long range spells or wands, lots of life, something that doesn't rely too heavily on finding great gear or skill gems that aren't quest rewards. Once I get that done, I'm gonna try rushing other classes for their quest gems so I can do more interesting builds.
