    They buffed most mundus.

    Nerf sharp and buffed other mundus, which was needed.
    Buffed some armour traits.

    Didn't really do much to skills.

    It's balance and more a generally buffing. It's quite fun actually.

    With sharpened nerf your solo dps is lower because you won't reach penetration cap. But in groups your dps got an slight increase

    Once someone updates their build they should be fine. The old build is still workable until a player updates it but probably does a little less dps.

    Yeah, especially the sharpened nerf. That had been BIS under all circumstances for DPS for way too long.

    Yeah it wasn't even close before the nerf.

    Now with the sharp being halved and other traits being buffed only now are they comparable. Like 1% dps between nirn/ sharp/ precise if i remember right.

    On DW, Nirn for the offhand is still a very bad deal. But, otherwise, yeah, they're very close together now.

    Yeah for offhand its terrible like 40 extra wpn dmg. Great for main hand though and then go another trait off hand.

    Feels like we've been buffed to me. Mobs are definitely dying faster since the patch.

    I thought off hand was 18, but, yeah, something stupidly low like that.

    Small group and solo gameplay got a nerf, especially for stamina DPS. Every method of obtaining physical penetration to bypass resistance was hit hard. Sharpened, Kragh's, TFS are all lower now. The go-to thief mundus was hit hard and replaced with a slightly weaker lover mundus.

    12 person raids are impacted less, they don't need to stack physical penetration and some of the alternatives to penetration got buffed, like infused. Thief and shadow nerfs are so bad nobody really wants to use them.

    It's probably the opposite effect of what it should have been, if a solo or small group wants the last few percentage points of dps, they're going to have to use up all options to gain physical penetration, which is less diversity. I would have rather seen 4 person dungeon mobs with less than 18k penetration, like 15k, then people wouldn't feel so compelled to stack it in the first place.

    So buff up the other traits to match up with sharpened. Why need the nerf?! Nerfing is just going backwards; backward progress for the game with every nerfing! Buffing is forward progress.. Life, business, game, whatever, are all about forward progress.. don't you guys get it!!!
