Full skill point refund for Templars, not two points for bash. S/B build, biting jabs shattered!

I'd like to hear the feedback of the Templar community. I'm not speaking of the bots that all average joe Templars are now being punished for by Zenimax.

I logged in today with the expected skill point refunds for deadly bash and master ritualist. What I did not expect was the shattering of my sword and board / bow build.

Play the way you want to play, the Zenimax mantra. What a crock. I played 2H until VR content and then had to respec to sword and board to survive VR content. Now I'm back to a coin toss at two or more mobs due to the ridiculous knee jerk response of developers.

Biting jabs is now like a death sentence when faced with multiple mobs. Its like being stunned at the end of each biting jabs cast. I can't heal, cc, block or do anything but get slapped in face by mob attacks.

Blizzard entertainment refunded all skill points when major changes were made to a class. The fact that their respec cost was about 10% of what ESO costs only highlights how unfair these stealth nerfs are to the average joe player. The average joe player who is paying a monthly subscription fee only to be slammed into playing one play style and eat the cost of a respec.

My repair bill for todays lesson in how broken the Templar sword and board build was 1,809 gold. I'm currently VR6 and have come to the realization that I will have to spend well over 20,000 gold to continue leveling my Templar in VR content.

How is the refund of a few skill points reasonable? Even with the shattered Templar resource management which has never been resolved, I still enjoy the game.

Now myself and likely a great many of the Templars in VR content will be forced to respec to a destro / resto build to have a chance of seeing VR10. I want my skill points back.

I'd also like to be able to play any style I want but apparently Zenimax wants no Templar tanks in the game.

    How do I know it's just after patch day?

    Templars think Zenimax doesn't want them in the game.

    DKs think Zenimax doesn't want them in the game.

    NBs think Zenimax doesn't want them in the game.

    Sorcerers think Zenimax doesn't want them in the game.

    See a pattern here...?

    I do agree with the cost of respecs though. Ridiculous.

    There's already like 6 other threads on this topic, but I agree the biting jabs ability was stealth nerfed into the ground and no skill point refund. They could have at least mentioned it in the patch notes. I really hope they respond to one of the threads soon and shed some light on why they did this or if it was even intentional.

    If you are interested, this thread is the longest on the topic so far:
