What's going on with the trial dummy?

Yeah, it's hard to know what they're doing anymore...let alone why. I was able to squeeze enough dps (76k) out of my MagPlar tonight to pull within 6k of my usual (82k). But sustain seems wonky. I have a fixed rotation I have run a thousand times, no variation. One parse seems normal (I usually have no issue) while the next parse I run out of mag about 2/3 of the way through. My MagSorc feels totally borked. I was happy with the changes with Stonethorn as I now had zero issues with sustain using the new frag spammable and the change to the Rebate passive. Now I can't make it through a parse without several heavy attacks. Nor can I seem to get past a 73k parse when I consistently do 83-85k on live. I can only hope this isn't all by design.

Templar gets hit harder because less crit ( crit damage passive )
Magplar gets hit harder because light attack reduction Sustain hits harder unless you're using eye scream bowl
Minor berserk got nerfed to 5% instead of 8%

Check your CP and if you have a lot in staff expert like more than 19 reconsider putting them elsewhere, and make sure you have 0 in spell erosion, this will help with the changes.

Stam is fine and actually better because pen changes give them a buff so the nerfs aren't visible.

I've made all these changes...and then some. The closest I can get to any mag parse on live is 6k. There is also something up with sustain on mag parses also. Sometimes only 5 mil into the parse I'm out of magicka. The next parse, with exactly the same rotation, sustain is fine.

Stamina, on the other hand is parsing the same, if not better, than live.

About a 10% nerf to only magicka damage would be a little hard to swallow. I'm still hoping it's something they just haven't gotten around to fixing yet.
