Still no fix for chat bugs:

If you disable the chat by clicking the "GLOBAL" tab, it re-enables every time you use any /command. Which is very inconvenient because we of course still don't have a key binding for /hideout so we have to type it in chat.

I reported this two times in 3.2, didn't even get an answer:

Also there is a bug where chat keeps scrolling up or down and all you can do about it is to relog. Maybe this has something to do with switching between Windows and PoE (fullscreen window mode).

Is using chat now deprecated?

More effective? How? 20% more doesn't make up for losing 6 pools of degen (spell echo + spell cascade).Even if you were only dealing 40% dmg per pool it is still far more than what this adds. (Was 240% per cast if you land all 3 while it is now 60% with the same setup since it doesn't stack) Now, if you were doing the build properly and actually had more dmg links then you were doing far more than 40% per pool on the enemy. With Hypo alone you more than regained the 100% dmg per pool. That means a 4 link BEFORE this change was more powerful than a 6/7L of ANY build after this update. A proper build would do more than 5x the dmg of the current one PER CAST. So, gl there buddy. If I were you i would drop it and switch to a cheesy Death's Oath or RF build but that is just my opinion.

well like I said I'm new so I didn't follow any guide. the idea I ran with was long, large cold snaps with cursing freezing pulses as the filler/long range with totem of frost bomb with culling strike to add more -resist and get kills. then i threw in stone golem for the regen and taunting. it's not super fast without rotgut and it's not flashy but it does damage and functions for me. :)

3.3.1 also contains a variety of bug fixes and small changes, including a performance improvement of around 5-10% that mostly helps DirectX 9 users or players with slow graphics cards.
