Is something broken with magicak warden or magicka in general?

Whiskers

Sustain and damage seems to have taken a big hit since a few days ago. Same food, rotation and gear.

I'm not sure if something is broken or its just me?

Welcome to the club of the nerfs.
Yes, Blackwood brought a heavy double-nerf for Magicka.

1st, -50% CP battle passives for all players.
2nd, -50% ProcSet damage for Magicka players.

The reason: PvP Stam players have been complaining about Magicka ProcSets.
So ZOS decided that full ProSet damage now needs 6574 Spell or Weapon damage.

Because most Mag players only reach about half of this value,
they can throw their useless ProcSets now straight into the garbage bin.

Because most Stam players can reach this value,
only Stam players can use Magicka ProcSets now to the fullest, ruling PvP even more.

Yep, I went into PvP last night. It takes a lot to make me speechless but it got to the point where I was no longer able to understand what exactly was killing me anymore. Me and my buddy who were running around sewers were just getting banana'ed for most of the late evening and I honestly at a loss.....the sheer amount of damage as well, like adding backstabber did not help PvP at all. It made it worse.
