Read the second paragraph again.
It says "a now reliable skill offering 100% uptime of major defile"
Neither ward of cyrodiil or duroks can do that.

In this case, this is a feature of Stamcro.

And it is unhealthy for the game and as explained above negatively influences the game for every other class directly and indirectly and this would be the case no matter which spec had access to high major defile.
you people :P The game has already been nerfed into a pitiful mess, and your solution is to nerf some more ? buff stuff that is too weak, so that you create more build options and choices, instead of killing off everything that seems good and fun.
and no I don't play stamcro, and I dont have any plan of doing so either.
Changing the major defile to minor would be a decent start, since currently you can get 100% uptime on major and roughly 20-25% uptime on minor.
If you dont think bb is that strong or have not played against it yet on pts, imagine if zos tried to give sorc's crystal frags proc an aoe that does major/minor defile and provides constant direct Los and ult/maj protection uptime for spamming it. Imagine the nerf sorc threads then.

I understand your point of view, but sorry I would like my Venom skull to work as sorc crystal fragments and have the original damage coefficient like this. Maybe after that I didn't want to protect the possibility of using Defile for Stamcro.

When it will get the cast time and only chance to be instant then yeah, why not. But then I want my assassin's will to be an AoE, delayed, no mini game required, undodgeable skill that also defiles my opponents - same logic as yours.
Back to the topic. Major defile from blastbones needs to go. ZOS double standards are just outrageous.

Yes Yes back to the topic, I don't think it should go away with its own buffs/debuffs for the Stamcro kit. Please do not give me an example of Guilds and weapons abilities that are not related to Stamcro kit.

You have to take those skills into account because no stamina spec can even fill its bar with class skills only and we're not talking about some builds that cripple themselves just to make them look worse than they are.

You associate the defile problem with 100% uptime. You do not suggest how to solve the problem with 100% uptime. Requests for nerf without offering a solution are unhealthy for the game as a whole.

Well zos nerfed every other abillity and set that had acces to a high defile uptime ...
Tbh defile is only good in Xv1 or duells, it make it even easyer for a group to chase down a solo player. It wont help solo players since the crosshealing is still to high.
I dont think that the stamcro is in a bad spot atm, even with the malfunctioning blastbones (well magcro is another story that class needs some love)
Nope gotta sell some necros more.

LoL. They don't have to really, when you buy Greymoor you get all the other chapters for free thrown in. Plus the past year was a tad bit bad for necro, not a selling point really. How are they gonna sell necro after Elsweyr dropped?
"Yes, with Elsweyr you get this fabulous class that you've all been asking for... Necromancer!! Yes folks use damage abilities like the most obvious and easily avoided spammable Skulls. Want reliable burst?? Too bad, we have Blastbones… roll the dice and it might hit the target... it's like a gameshow. We also have a ground AOE that is a graveyard, Oh boy does it hit hard with the self-synergy... LOL just kidding you need Harmony for that. Want a real good dps character? Pick Necro, at least with stamina necro you can use weapon skills and make up for poor class damage abilities. Need a crazy good ultimate? We have Frozen Colossus, let's hope everyone is brain dead and stands in it. Yes yes, pick Necromancer for all your needs. Unless you want Magicka dps, then just LOL to you, be a healer those abilities work."
Awesome pitch right? Yup, I thought so too. Makes you want to grab your wallet and buy it all over again.

There is a DoT patch where the class identity of magtemplar and DK begins to dominate and we continue to play it. In the next patch, there is no direct indication that Defile will dominate. Just the usual change in the functionality of Blastbones makes people think that this will be an OP. So following your idea that 100% uptime will take Defile out of control means that we need to think about changing 100% uptime defile. This does not mean that we need to delete it, if all this time it was in order and no one did not care. In addition, as long as there is such a difference between classes that some rely on class identity, while others have to use weapons and guilds abilities, what type of balance can we talk about??
P. S. Maybe you have not thought about why the game does not have a rating on BG and etc. Most likely, the rating will never be entered into the game as long as there is such a difference. Some classes play their part, while others have to adapt.

The developers make changes and provide validation for their reasoning.
Players accept this. (some, most?)
The developers then make changes that contradict their original changes.
Players ask for "nerfs".
I put that in quotes because what you consider a nerf (in this case) is really just a request for the developers to maintain consistency in logic.
The developers do NOT maintain consistency. See: Two-Handed skills - Uppercut.
Always keep in mind what is making the game fun for you might be potentially over-performing and ruining someone else's experience.
like honestly i hear all this qq from players who can't play the class right. yall should reroll stamblade and try hitting people with spectral bow before posting all this qq about your broken beloved blastbones.
