Does the change mean no longer returns from twisted and caltrops?
Or is it about procs from flame poison cripple Ticks?

    Not on healing only damage, including damage of time ticks. (Some skills, not all)

    That skill was in a great place: it allowed you to offset SOME of the cost of blocking without being full stamina all the time. You still needed to not overreach by casting sta skills and throw in some light/heavy attacks to be in comfortable spot, all without engine guardian.

    It quite amazing how this morph went from being a tank choice to a dps one.

    I think it was kind of stupid siphoning attacks would proc off Caltrops, but path is a different story; it has a shorter duration and a far smaller radius. I'd have no problem if they reinstated it to work on that.

    Meanwhile I also tested my last hope, Necrotic Orb, that procced SA so far (a real cascade of hits !!!) and gave nice Group support.

    But with TG DLC Necrotic Orb no longer procs SA as well.

    Yes
    this is a heavy blow for the NB Siphoning Tank.

    this is a heavy blow for the NB Siphoning Tank.

    I'll still give it a go by moving more towards magicka than stamina and using swallow soul spam.

    Have you tried consuming trap?

    To clarify, I'm more concerned with sta management in trash fights, rather than boss fights.
