Solo playing through open world already takes about 3 light attacks per mob. Since light attacks don't take resources, that should be fine. Stuff like soloing vet dungeons and doing vMA, well, that might be a bit more challenging. Or not a bit. Has anyone done vMA on pts?

Group players...things are looking...different for them. Between individual resource management nerfed and group resouce management tools nerfed...We'll have to adapt and see I suppose. I imagine bis builds will change and meta shift a bit, but not entirely sure where. Heavy attack builds will probably be king for group dps and I'm not sure that's a meta I want tbh.

From a soloer's point of view, if you don't do high-end competitive content then I wouldn't worry about it. Changes happen all the time, and most players just roll with the punches and adapt - although in many cases they simply don't notice the changes in the first place! That's one of the advantages for those players who just play the game and take no notice of all the drama going on outside it !

I can't speak for grouping, as it's not my scene beyond informal co-operative play.

More seriously, your premise is false to start with, there's no evidence that the patch has "pretty much screwed everyone". For starters it's only at the beginning of a two months stint on PTS so there's plenty of time for further adjustments and the way to achieve those will be through constructive feedback on the PTS rather than through wild ranting on the forum or self-interested streaming from self-important players on Youtube.
