Are templates bugged or just.. crappy

So as a NA server dweller, I got my first crack at a Template today and rolled up a NB. Long story short, I couldn't get my weapon damage to move. At all. No matter what I did, it stayed at 1267. (Stamina build btw wearing full set of template Ophidian gear with stamina Glyphs)

Even stranger, Spell damage is the exact same number.

So I logged off and back on, and both spell damage and weapon damage were at 1393. I found that strange, so I removed all my gear and they both dropped down to 1132. (Why would spell damage drop by removing medium armor?)
Then I put my armor back on and it went up..... to 1267 again.

I even invested 23 points into "Mighty" under the "Ritual" constellation, which is supposed to increase physical damage by 9.2%.. and it didn't move. Still at 1267. No amount of stamina in my stamina pool moves it up or down. I mean it was at 1267 when I dropped my stamina down to zero at the shrine, and it stayed at 1267 after I invested 62 pts in stamina. The tooltip for stamina still says that it effects weapon damage.

So I am struggling to do damage with this V14 NB Template when I was destroying things yesterday on the PTS using my own V2 NB and the same build.

So nothing I do moves it or changes it.
Spell damage is the same as weapon damage even though I have zero invested in magicka anywhere on my character.
They both go up and down when I remove my medium armor.
CP that is suppose to raise it does nothing.

Am I missing something here?

Something seems off with the templates. All my health/mag/stam are abnormally low on the templates.
