I care and I don't ever want someone passionate to quit something they are passionate about. Things tend to fade when no one is passionate about them.

I mentioned that part of the comment that you are referencing to stave off some of the comments I’ve been receiving in these forums simply asking what I perceive as logical basics. I was not trying to be dramatic and the quitting/detaching from this game has no emotional value for me any more (in the sense I’m not worried about ‘losing time/value/etc. from prior play time).

It’s more like I used to love this game, PvP-wise it became notably worse me over time (especially werewolf), and then I simply lost interest a ~year-2 years ago. I log on occasionally (every few weeks or so; PvP of course) and play with friends and have done so far more recently with upcoming changes on the horizon.

However, the bad taste if they were to ship werewolf (I see that 1 sec dot change as downright malicious as far as balance goes, I won’t lie to you) as it is right now along with the mental bleh of having to champion anything unpopular with these polarized forum goers is legitimately enough to uninstall and never play again. I’m just trying to be honest as a past and current paying customer of ESO who is part of a metric somewhere.

But I really do appreciate your kindness and sincerity, it is only a game after all so wanted to let you know no-big-deal either way I suppose.

Good change. Would be good to be able to get full mats back after a decon when a set gets nerfed like this but i dont care about the mats wasted that much as long as game is in a healthier state.

Now give pyrebrand the same treatment, it does the same if not more damage and is way more stickier

And Aerie's Cry particularly could be looked at. It hits for around 4k every few seconds, so similarly to the best burst proc sets around, but automatically, every few seconds, through walls, through everything. It now even stacks. And this is leaving aside the 10% damage bonus it passively grants.

This was just a friendly test we did. Only afterwards did we notice how hard this constantly hits.

And works from backbar, probably still not good enough to beat backbar rallying cry but pretty cool set

My partner uses Aerie and Rallying Cry at the moment. He contemplates dropping Rallying for something like Pariah.
He doesn't even build particularly offensive, but can sustain around 8k DPS on me from range. (Like a dummy parse obviously; just standing still and parsing. So not altogether realistic)

No offense Dracane but this throwing up numbers from everyone and ZoS just eating it up is actually diabolical. I’m in actual disbelief that now anything I decide to run/test that is remotely viable, I’m going to have to look over my shoulder and the forums to see if it’s taking a hit because good ol’ BillyBob42 said he pulled 11k while running ‘savage werewolf’. Can y’all not go play vengeance if y’all want basic as fluff template PvP with ‘all the skill’ and ‘no flashy sets’?

I don’t care if this ‘sounds dumb’ the premise I mentioned above is even more so. I don’t want to go back to the ‘good ol’ days’ where your freedom of expression was Hundings Rage/Hulking Draugr.

I understand. For my partner's sake I also do not want it nerfed. It's more like me asking whether people are aware of this and if this is fine and whether I am unjustified in my surprise of its damage.

I don't want to make you nervous.

I’m not nervous. This micro/macro (cannot remember which one applies) social exchange of what forum-goers believe should be annihilated in relation to the actual game I’m playing has me borderline ready to quit and deattach from the game again (yeah, yeah ‘I know nobody cares: blah blah’). I cannot remember a time the nerf calling has had this much fervor and actual power to boot.
