✭Just be greatful that they didnt buff sorcs more. Any patch without a sorc buff is a good one lol.
At this point, I've been considering focusing on my sorc more because of the relative buffs to them over my templar. At least the sorc has a lot less sustain problems despite more expensive skills. They can actually DoT an enemy and heavy attack rather than channel their main DoTs like templars. No wonder templars have horrible sustain when they're not allowed to survive long enough outside Puncturing Sweep spam to heavy attack enough.2 -

If the case was people changing gear after hitting alch, then why not just have alch put you in combat when you use a potion? Like, that's the obvious fix.
It was done to nerf gankers and that is a good thing
How does this combat gankers? Can just attack something, cloak, pot, engage. This isn't very detrimental to gank builds; it requires more set-up but gank builds have the tools to to set that up. Non-gank builds now have to actively engage the opponent, ranged builds might not have too much of an issue with this but not many ranged builds run alchemist. Melee builds now need to expose themselves to uneccessary risks to activate a 5pc that is activated by CONSUMABLES?
What sense does this even make? Just have the set put you in combat. You lose stealth bonus (due to inability to re-stealth), can't mount, can't swap gear, and are otherwise limited to the same factors as intended with the nerf.
The set is not strong enough to warrant the nerf it was just given.
I sense unbalance with this. Something along the lines of clever alchemist +shalk without being engaged in fight.

✭Please consider adding a lone transmute crystal to the rewards for perfect scores in Heists and Sacraments. These can't really break the game, and improving those rewards would make attempting those challenges more worthwhile.
I do Sacraments for fun. They're well coded to allow for strategic play. The Heists just suck because they kill your time right away with no time to "case the joint" like a real "good" thief would do.
Heists need a redesign of the timer to start only when you've stolen something and work like Sacraments with the "5 strikes and you're out" counter instead of a timer drop. The Sacrament was just designed a thousand times better.
But yes, I would like the skillful play to be rewarded better.1 -

✭I don't get it. Empower is basically useless for Templars. We do not use direct damage abilities and our channel abilities don't get the buff on their "first tick", so the buff is almost always going to waste. Why are you giving us a buff that you know is mostly useless? I've seen dozens of Templar players provide this same valuable feedback repeatedly to your team and you repeatedly ignore it. Why?
Change it to Minor Berserk for 20 seconds or Major Berserk for 10 seconds so it can actually contribute damage to the DPS abilities that are in the Templar toolkit. Alternatively, create a new buff that applies only to DoT/channel damage and give us that.7 -

Developer Comments:Reducing the cast time of this ability will make it less susceptible to interrupts, and easier to land a potential life-saving heal on an ally. It now fits better with the fast-paced nature of combat.
- Cleansing Ritual: Increased the cost of this ability and its morphs by approximately 14%.
Developer Comments:This change encourages more strategic use of this ability’s powerful debuff removal. Recasting this ability to remove only a few debuffs at a time will be a less efficient use of the Templar’s resources.
This is what aggravates me about the whole PTS process.
A pointless buff to a skill hardly anyone uses and a nerf out of left field that has no rhyme or reason or consistency. How about you increase the cost of cloak, shields, bird spam, etc., to "encourage more strategic" use of these abilities? It's a gratuitous slap in the face to Templars.
And @Kilandros is right. That's a crazy change to siphoner. The whole point why ZoS redid the Champion System in Morrowind was so each and every star would have a counter. Now that is no longer the case as this ... this (trying to be real polite here) Champion System ... is now effecting stuff beyond what is was intended to and corrupting the base values of the game.
It's only fair that now there should be a star that increases these effects.
Or at least does so with only one star instead of 3 that it currently takes.
This one champion star counters all 3 of Mooncalf, Healthy and Arcanist. 300 points countered by 100.
That's a very short-sighted lazy change that hurts everyone.
Also, it negates ANY benefit of running the severely underpowered invigorating trait on gear anyway. I want the old Prosperous trait back for increased gold actually, but make it apply to quests and treasure again.2 - Healing Ritual: Reduced the cast time of this ability and its morphs to 1.2 seconds from 1.5 seconds.

Puncturing Sweep is a channeled DoT. It's THE main one we use on templars. It actually does damage that gets up near Dark Flare on a single target while healing, not as much but close enough for the healing to make it worth more than Dark Flare.0 -

✭Elemental Storm: Reduced the damage of this ability and the Eye of the Storm morph by approximately 12%. The damage on the Elemental Rage morph remains unchanged.
All you needed to do is add a literal eye of the storm there - instead of a full circle make it a "donut" with a center radius of a couple meters where the skill is dealing no damage. That would give it counter play, would remove the ability to just spam a gap closer and would promote playing and using it smart, minding your position and all.
It also would make sense and seem logical 5 -

I'm confused by this. You were running all these risks already by using Alchemist. There's no change there. All you need to do is one light attack as you approach the enemy to put yourself in combat before buffing up. Or drink the potion just after your gap closer. Not really a big deal, is it?
Also, it takes one member of the group to be in combat to basically put all of you that are close enough in combat. So if you're in a group just send a tankplar in 3" before the bomblades drop in.
There's plenty of ways to make it work. You're just being lazy.

@ZOS_Wrobel
This still doesn't really address the fundamental issues with the Master Destro staff. Destructive Touch is a skill in bad shape already. It's weak and costly, so this staff feels like an attempt to simply get the skill to a workable spot rather than add anything interesting or enabling to it. At the very least, the extra damage should effect every tick of the skill. It's a DOT after all. Personally, I'd like to see a more interesting additional mechanic associated with it. Let it make the effected target take 5% more damage from that element for the duration of the skill, for example.1 -
