Why did Zos increase the cost of Dragon Knight skills

The class already has bad conditional sustain. But in the scale breaker patch several low cost skills that aren’t easy to land to begin with got a cost increase such as burning embers (810 cost increase), ash cloud (1080 cost increase), and engulfing flames (108 cost increase). Skills like ash cloud need a total rework at this point, it’s a small to mid sized aoe, lackluster damage, lackluster healing, and ridiculous cost. How does skill changes like these come out past the idea stage of combat balancing.
This gives me the notion that Zos only has only 1-3 people making ideas and changes for combat balance, if ideas such as these are making it this far onto the live game.

    Someone at ZOS obviously like generic DoT skills more than class skills.

    I keep shooting star or corrosive on mag or stam for emergency sustain. I personally find DK's the easiest to sustain because I use them quite a bit.

    Edit: I agree 100% though

    I’ve played mDK since 1.5 and these ridiculous changes are just par for the course.

    I can’t prove it but I think ZOS hates mDKs

    I think someone had a quote from one of the devs basically confirming that they don't think dks should be magika, tank and stam class only.

    So saying they can put out dps as good as any on a dummy.

    That's cool. Wish they would have told me before hitting Brigader. Woulda rolled a Sorc instead.

    Apart from that though, play as you want!
