Do you want the changes ?

No

I'm still unsure about the LA changes, but I like that they're giving buffs a longer duration, I don't find buffing to be a fun or engaging thing to do, it takes dynamicity out of combat.

ESO's combat system is much more fun imo when you're attacking, positioning yourself, blocking, dodge rolling, etc. etc. but not when buffing up. I found this out with Oakensoul, combat is more engaging like this. It's not like the combat lacks mechanics as to think buff skills provide needed engagement for the combat system to feel complex enough.

On the other hand, DOTs should stay as they are, otherwise they're gonna be useless in most scenarios other than dummy parsing and vet bosses, trials. Since most fights won't provide you with long enough time windows to take advantage of their full damage.

LA changes I am unsure about.

But I love the buff changes. Constantly having to rebuff has always been my biggest beef with ESO combat. If I have to do that 50% less than it is a win in my book.
