When you add the weapon changes on top of the class nerfs it is as bad as the mageblade nerf last round.

All stamina toons got hit pretty hard. think about endless hail and caltrops changes.
Caltrops lost 2 seconds of duration + they lost 60% of damage.
Endless Hail lasts 12 seconds instead of 10, but ticks once a second. so its 12 ticks vs 20 ticks. dmg increase of each tick was roughly 11%, which means about 33% dps loss.
Because we lost 8 ticks - vMA bow lost most powerful ones and also base damage increase. (about 58% dmg loss if i'm able to do math)
Fighters guild ultimate doesnt give you 8% weapon damage anymore when slotted, only 3%(and requires you to activate it to get 300 wpd, which is fine on adds but its single target is meh)

Some guildies and I were actually talking about this a few weeks ago that we were suspecting ZOS to get ready for a huge stamina DPS nerf because they have been sitting too high in the dps meters for too long! Definitely had to get magicka back on top for awhile I guess. This is partially why my main is a Dark Elf at least if I switch between the stamina and magicka I don't have to race change for it to be effective!
