Ambush - 8% dmg on next attack (down from 36%)

Let's talk about this.
Ambush->Soul Harvest(or Soul Tether) used to be the only way you could burst someone down in PvP as a NB (outside bow openers).
I feel that even with Ambush becoming stamina based, people won't be encouraged to use melee stamina builds in PvP if their burst damage (and any chance of killing a dmg shield/heal spammer) is gone.
This will cause people to just stick to their bow openers, instead of trying out melee builds, or causes them to slot dmg shields & heals in order to survive in PvP, which leads to even less diverse PvP than what we currently have.
In my opinion, Ambush should at the very least give the Major Berserk buff (instead of Minor), especially considering it only affects the attack following Ambush.

Shhhhh! Ambush is fine, don't look at Ambush.
In all seriousness, anyone notice how much damage Ambush is doing coming out of stealth? 15k, and that was with blue vr11 gear from the vendors.0 -

Well, I'd rather see them tone the ambush damage down & then buff the follow up attack.
It actually requires some skill to pull of these combos (and it feels good), one shotting people with a gap closer on the other hand...1 -
Wahee✭✭✭Its 20% on PTS if you trust the tooltip. Once I get addons up and working i'll test the actual numbers to check.

Vandril✭✭✭✭I think it actually grants Major Empower (20% damage on next attack), not either of the Berserk buffs. The patch notes may have had a typo there.1 -
TheBucket✭✭✭✭Not to mention with as slow as ult gain is now. Having a 45 ult burst dmg ability is insanseWilliam Reignes
