I wasn't aware that damage is hitting for half the damage on PTS almost on every class!

    There is, but if it is responsible it is scaling your damage down by a large degree and scaling ability cost up by a larger degree. But I think someone said they tried turning it off and damage was still low.

    Taking IC as example when you fight npc's you do full dmg but when you fight players they get the 50% dmg but in Orsinium there arent pvp and i dont know why the dmg reduction is working like in pvp against players so i really really hope is a bug or an unintended change.

    yes, turning it off makes no difference (for a v14 template character)

    There's a bug with monster mitigation we found and are fixing.

    We are working to get it fixed for the next PTS patch.

    Except that there are also reports of ability costs being too high, which is why folks are running out of resources so fast. Hopefully they find that bug as quickly.

    Well that explained the increase in stamina costs. Tool tips were fine but I had to switch to serpent mundus.

    I can verify that there is a definite damage reduction from your characters, and I pray this is a bug and NOT intentional. I did some testing on mobs in Upper Craglorn. Previously my stam NB didn't have any problems taking them down, but on PTS they were much harder. More than once I had my ass handed to me by the mobs. Now I don't mind a slight difficulty increase, but I feel they went too far. They nerfed us a bit on the last update, especially for stam builds. Now they are nerfing us again? Enough is enough.

    Both the wife and I enjoy doing the Vet dungeons, but only with the hope we can actually do them once in awhile. We are not elite players and are not going to bang our head against the wall to try to beat them. If the game gets to the point of being too frustrating, then we will just unsubsribe and that will be it.

    EDIT: Just noticed Rich's post so hopefully it will be back to normal on the next PTS patch. And I can also verify that resource management was a real issue when I was doing my testing. It was like the mobs were sucking the stamina right out of me, hand them a straw! So yeah, I would say that the costs of abilities were higher as well.

    Um, did you not see the post five above yours where Rich Lambert stated that this is a bug that will be fixed with the next PTS update?!?
