You can still spam Spirit Blade if you want to stay in close range, it's just that the damage it does when it runs out of or low on charges now is more similar to your basic attack than anything else (which I think was supposed to be the point). And you can still make it a melee class capable of standing toe to toe with your enemies if you want to, you just have to do more than stand there and spam a single skill if you want to keep your barrier up while doing so. And THAT isn't even all that bad either, what with a few of the new upgrades to various spells. Fire Mine with Flaming Array is particularly op with a KE, and personally I really like using the Energy Storm upgrade for Energy Barrage when I'm standing right in the center of the battlefield, watching all of my enemies get bombarded with magical missiles left right and center all around me while SB gets charged up to nearly full capacity with a single cast.
So really, at the end of the day they didn't nerf KE at all, if anything they made it even more powerful by forcing players to have to do something other than just stand there spamming SB. Which, again, you can still do (and it still activates Clean Burn with each cast so it's not like you're even a victim of long cooldowns either), you just can't go through the game by doing that and nothing else anymore.
