Changes we wanted/expected and didn't get outside class skills.

This thread is to consolidate the changes we requested and did not receive from this paltry balance update. You can mention class changes that were expected but it may be best to put them in their respective official threads.
To start off:
Crittable shields - We did not get this, so crit based builds in pvp are gimped vs magicka sorcerers. Why?
Wrecking Blow - No changes at all, so were still gonna have a self empowering heavy hit skill with a bugged 15 meter range. (No mention of bug fixes with this skill either
)
Racial changes - It seems this should have been included in a balance pass, as it is integral to class/skill/pvp/pve balance. Yet nothing aside from a paltry HP buff for Argonians.
Weapon skills - Many have a good morph and a crap morph and nothing was done to remedy this aside from the Steel Tornado fix. (Examples are Blinding Flurry vs Rapid Strikes, Wrecking Blow vs Dizzying Swing.)
Heavy Armor - No significant buffs, and while one of the passives (decreased block cost) is good, the rest are still lackluster.
Flawless Dawnbreaker - Still has the 8% weapon damage buff, still BiS for most stamina DPS builds, killing build diversity.
Proximity Detonation - Zergs can still abuse this, the only thing you changed was to make zergs a little more vulnerable when doing so.
Blood Alter - Still useless, still so very useless.
Battle Resurrection+Kagrenac's Hope+Master Ritualist(Templar passive) - Didn't mention a fix for the insane stacking this does, which has been proven time and again to be broken with how fast rezzing can be done.(Even worse now since getting rank 10 support is waaaaaaay easier!)
Feel free to contribute, but try not to be any ruder than me, If we are too rude, our criticisms will be ignored. (Which I know we would not want.)

This. ^^
-Drain Essence: Why doesn't this scale with magicka or stamina based on which is higher.
Everything else mentioned I agree with.

WB hits further than intended because the targets are moving fast and go out of range.
You know very well what is the fix for it.....look at the gap closer fix.....I doubt that you want WB to apply un-purge-able 60% snares in favor of short distance. Don't ask for a fix for it....just learn to outplay WB...it is not that hard.
[EDITED]
And yeah if they miss WB hit on you....which is very easy achievable ....then there is no damage, no empower and 2 second of their time is lost.....really learn to outplay WB....it is a useless skill if you learn to counter it.
