Rework Templar Jabs?

TechMaybeHic

"To make the new jabs match more what you would expect in the name and the animation; we are renaming Biting Jabs to Tickling Jabs. Also, we will be renaming the base ability and Magicka morph to Scooping Strikes and Scooping Sweeps respectively"

Since they ruined Jabs I have vowed to never spend another penny on this Company. I have spent this years wasted sub filling my craft bag.

I will play but I won't pay.

Same. I've already payed over $3,500 for ESO. If ZOS is going to gut my main toon so hard and give him a dorky, flailing around animation to boot I can stop paying for that kind of treatment.

Still waiting to see if this feedback is being considered by Zos.

My magplar was relegated to survey and crafting monkey after U35, occasionally go do some fishing on it.

Yup.
You'd think they would want to keep people paying like the people in this thread who have spent thousands on their accounts

Please resurrect templars. At least revert the super dorky, flailing jabs animation.

The old animation was garbage imo, new one is much better and feels the there's some weight behind the jabs!

Your opinion is among a very tiny minority regarding this issue. Just read the multiple threads regarding this issue that have been recurring since U35 hit the PTS. The will of the majority is what should prevail.

I mean, people tend to only be vocal when they want to complain about something, not often will you see many positive comments.

Regardless the are people who like the new animation. So realistically, is ZoS going to upset them now by making a U turn and changing it back? If it were me, I think I'd rather be firm in my decisions and move forwards, the complaints will die out when people become used to it.

The jab changes have sucked but they'd be easier to swallow if they did change the "spear". Now jabs looks too different than the templars other animation styles.

No point in spending another penny on this company, without a reversion to original Jabs. That was the beginning of the end for me.

Oh no, they’ve gotten to you, too! The “light” is actually the glow of undead evil disguised as holiness.

Insidious, I tell you! You must fight the corruption. Don't give in to it!

I'm gonna be real, jabs are better now lol.

I played Templar very little before, just recently made one, what exactly are the main issues with new jabs? Personally I like the animation.

It's the use of a Night Hollow stave as the spear and the wonky digging motion they added with U35.

Take a look at the other templar spear animations. They are spears of light, not Night Hollow style staves. So the animation is not in line with other templar animations and it looks super dorky and spastic.

So what you’re saying is they should replace all the other spear abilities with the Night Hollow staff. /s

I guess I can understand the frustration since it isn’t really a spear. If they would replace the staff with a spear (new not repurposed) would that make it acceptable for you?

Before the nerf I rolled thru Tamriel 100% 7X with magplar. Easily my favorite class.
When I realized how extensive the nerf was, I culled my two templar lowbies and three writ slave retirees.
Makes me very sad and angry the decisions they made regarding templar.

On a good note, I created my first magcro and have been enjoying the game.

They'd still need to remove the goofy digging animation at the end. Nobody swings a spear. Except ESO templars.

Agreed! I can't even play my templar anymore because the class identity has been ruined with the "updated" jabs animation.

Please ZOS, fix jabs. It's current state is an abomination, you guys are capable of better!

Sadly, this is my case as well. I can't even bear to play the class any longer and am really, really wishing they would either roll it back or re-work it.

That animation has to go.
