Increased Potion Effectiveness gone from Argonian and Nightblade passives

It seems potion effectiveness got the axe with 1.6, and as such NBs and Argonians were the hardest hit by this. These changes were not in the patch notes, and I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) a dev/rep said they weren't changing racial passives in this patch.
Here are the new skills:
I'm still not sure if the Argonian passive is overall more or less powerful than it was previously (used to be +15% to potion effectiveness) given how hp/stam/mag have been reworked. The NB passive though is pretty bad change. Even with the change to ultimate generation, nobody chugs potions enough to make the passive skill worth it.
Thoughts?
Here are the new skills:
- Nightblade passive Catalyst (Siphoning line): After drinking a potion, you gain 8 Ultimate.
- Argonian racial passive Amphibious: Increases swimming speed by 50% and whenever you drink a potion you gain 6% of your Max Health, Magicka, and Stamina.

joshisanonymous✭✭✭✭✭The Argonian one sounds pretty nice actually, as it's still essentially doing what the old passive did if you assume that you're normally using tripots when you use a potion at all. The NB one.. uhh.. that is considerably less than thrilling.0 -

✭✭✭✭If they nerf a weapon you can just pick a new weapon. If they nerf a skill you can just use another skill. If they nerf a gear set you can just find a new gear set. They should be very careful with axing racial passives too hard. That is a one time decision that takes a lot of effort(leveling another character) to undo.V16 Uriel Stormblessed EP Magicka Templar(main)

✭Perks for potion effectiveness got placed in the CP constellation of the Lord, there is one perk to increase healing potion effectiveness and another to increase damage absorbed after drinking a potion. Another perk under the Apprentice reduces the magicka cost of a spell after drinking a potion. Not exactly the same obviously, but at least you will get some amount of your old benefits back if you choose to invest points in those constellations.Edited by Soulshine on January 31, 2015 2:02AM1
