>Oh dang thanks for the info! I thought that passive was getting hybridised too. I wonder why major sorcery/brutality are, but not minor sorcery? 🤔 What about minor brutality to sorcery with DKs?

The reason is so that certain classes are still viable in group comps and serve a purpose. If both templar and dk both gace minor sorcery and brutality, there really wouldn't be much of a point to run both in a group theoretically. This also applies to nbs giving minor savagery vs sorcs giving minor sorcery to group

Does it mean that from now on I will always need to invest in SD rather than WD on my Stamplar? 🤔

I'm not entirely sure myself since I don't have access to the pts. Depends on if scaling max mag and stam and scaling max sd and wd are independent of each other. Meaning say a build with 30k mag and 6k wd deals the same amount of dmg as a build with 30k stam and 6k wd. If this is the case, then scaling max stam and sd would be the best on a "stam"plar and scaling max mag and wd would be best on a "mag"dk if that makes sense. Would also mean that power of the light is a useless skill, since it won't be getting the hybridization changes and you'll be scaling sd, not wd so you'd have to use purifying light instead

Gosh, I hadn't thought about Power of the Light and Purifying Light. Won't they scale with the highest offensive stat next patch? Or will they still scale with WD and SD respectively? This is so confusing... 😑

sadly no, i think they said somewhere in the first set of patch notes that power of the light, purifying light, and a majority of the damage shield abilities like the light armor skill will continue to scale the same and not dynamically

So, 3rd week of patch notes and still no indication of reviewing this botched job on biting jabs...
Where are the Templar Class Reps? Anyone cares to share their views? It seems to me that the vast majority of templars are very unhappy with losing major savagery on jabs!

It will be fine. Not 8deal, but fine I already made a build basically embracing it.

There are 2 options. Continue to use rally anyway and make the buff from jabs redundant. Or build to sustain replacing rally with HTD. You're going to lose major savagery built in either way which is not ideal but not the end of the world either.

Personally; I like the 2nd option, have up a defense set for wretched vitality and TriStat food, and that enables both HTD and living dark on a Stamplar, and living dark with vigor is greater than any defense set. Could throw in the torc mythic but I've found I don't need it at all. Just take the CP that gives mag Regen while sprinting. Maybe torc for no CP

I'm actually quite happy with the changes. As the content I play, it will allow me to 'play how I want' without being pigeon-holed into running a Stamplar that cannot use any of my Magicka skills. I honestly HATE being forced to run a staff, and resource management on a Magplar running DW sucks... and now with the new hybridization allowing us to use Magicka skills with full damage potential and healing too... I'm all in for that. So many people comment on how this doesn't help THEM... but they forget that there are MILLIONS of other players and this will help many of them, including myself.

I'm not against the hybridisation at all, just the fact that now major sorcery is on a stamina spammable and that they removed major savagery from it, to put it on a useless magicka dot.
