Why remove our ability to increase Attack Speed? And for what, a chance to gain more Ultimate that probably won't be anywhere near as neat/useful? Please reconsider this change before the DLC goes live.

    I didn't know anyone used weighted. Cool.

    No one uses weighted currently and ult regen is crucial for some builds, especially overload sorcs. That change is an interesting concept we shall see how it works in practice.
    I am currently worried for the future of ESO. Population seems like it is in free fall and the cancellation of the North America in-person gathering feels very much like pulling the plug. Kudos on fixing the in-game economy though. Clearly whatever gold shenanigans were happening the last couple years are fixed.

    I happen to use Weighted and very much like the speed increase. I'm sure there are others out there that do too.

    As far as I understand, the Weighted trait does not lower the global cooldown and this allow you to cast your skills any faster than someone without the trait.
    Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.

    It didn't even increase attack speed. It only increased the speed to do another attack. This change is amazing. Sorry to say, but hardly anyone used it.

    I tested and noticed quite a difference when dual-wielding 2 gold Weighted swords compared to 2 that were not. The meta may not hardly ever use standard attacks much but that doesn't mean no one does. I am sure Zenimax pulled this change due to the fact not many use it but this IS the ONLY way to boost attack speed in the entire game and they're taking that away now? They should either leave the attack speed boost and add the ultimate gain or give us another way to boost attack speed.

    He probably read the PTS patch notes, which is how I found out about it.
    Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".

    Wait, you're telling me they released patch notes... On time?

    I never really expect them until days after and a bunch of complaining forum threads.

    I agree they need to figure out a way to provide increased attack speed but the weighted change is nice. They should have left the attack speed on weighted as it goes with Ult gain.

    Yes I would be fine with it if this were the case. My main is a speed-based build so this kind of cramps his style...

    Very much a minority which is why they changed it. The changes is an attempt to make the traits more useful and hence used by more players.

    Agree but the increased attack speed could have been left as it goes with increased Ult gain.

    Indeed. Just because so few use it doesn't mean it should be removed... It wasn't ENTIRELY ignored.
