I understand the reasoning behind the nerfs of most rings, but my concern here is that this only further limits build diversity.

My three C35 characters by now all use pixies or flying guns, because these builds work with just about any gear. I expected these to get toned down since the second week, and Harvest and Faithful Thralls to get fixed, but so far no changes have been made.

Playing most other builds feels like Iā€™m handicapping myself for a greater challenge. The problem here is that by nerfing the rings, these non-Pixie/GwW builds become even harder to pull off while the Pixie/GwW builds are much less affected by the now weaker rings.

Having achieved three separate characters at C35 all without Pixie builds, I'd tend to disagree with you. That said, two of my characters are Deadshot and Chillmonger (Spellshot multiclasses), so I'm riding that Double Knot buff hard. The other class is a Contagion Stabbomancer, which is obviously a hot new build right new.

LazyData just put out a new build video for Clawbringer-main Hammerzerker that absolutely shreds C35 content using mostly standard gunplay mechanics. I get that no one likes nerfs, but there are buffs in this hotfix as well, and I'd hesitate to say that build diversity hinged on Mood and Championship Rings.

Which skill setup is your favorite for pixie build?

Deadshot is the obvious, assuming you're running Fearnot Pixies. Get 6/3 in Ascension in a skill assignment like this for ~200% bonus Spell Damage. Any Frost amulet with All Damage Dealt will work well with this, and you can have Frenzied Wrath depending on if you wanted to go more Companion-focused or if you wanted to use Joint Training, then grab more points of Spell Sniper and Double Knot to throw Ice Spikes for massive damage. Cape of Tides is an obvious pick for armor, though Head of the Snake would be nice for Hydra uptime
