Blur definitely needs to be replaced, but as a 2h nightblade myself, let me reassure you that haste wasnt doing us much good.

The actual attack speed increase doesnt work for heavy attacks unless you're using a staff, and for light attacks it doesnt make a noticable difference. Attack speed needs to be done away with entirely in this game, because it's become glaringly obvious at this point that the devs just cannot get it to function properly.

I do use haste for the focused attacks morph (+40% stamina regeneration), and I'm definitely going to miss that with the change (though I'm hoping they'll keep the stamina recovery boost with one of the morphs). However, it's only actually giving us 40% of our -base- stamina recovery right now, so it doesnt affect stamina recovery from other skills or gear, making it less useful than it would appear.



We dont know all of the details about the class changes yet, so I wouldnt throw too much fuss about it until we can test things out on the PTS.

I like to keep focused attacks on my stamina NB for stamina rege, it's very usefull to keep high DPS for a long time in dungeons.

They literally looked at the least used Skills, and are now going to either overhaul them or replace them.
Haste was one of the least used Skills, mainly because if the prevalence of animation cancelling.
The benefits of this Skill were not living up to what they thought it should be for a top tier Skill.

I hope the minor power buff is comparable to the increased heavy attack damage I'll be losing. : c
