Hidden Remembrance Nerf?

LithiumFlower
Haven't seen this mentioned lately and it's PTS so under NDA. I hope it's permitted to mention it on the PTS Forum for feedback.

On live Remembrance gives a unique damage reduction to affected allies that can stack with major/minor protection for upto 23 seconds. On PTS the tooltip has changed completely and now gives major protection to only the caster.

This change was not documented in the Patch Notes and it's a huge nerf on top of everything else affecting the utility of Templars. What gives?

    Good.

    One of the biggest issues that worried people about the Warden was that Sleet Storm could stack its Major Protection buff with that unique buff from Remembrance. It was completely broken in PvP. Glad it was actually changed.

    What I don't agree with is why the Major Protection buff on Remembrance only applies to the caster.

    @LithiumFlower you know the stories about the small grass leaf that broke the camel's back? That might be it for me.

    They should make Remembrance into Major protection, then. Then it won't stack with Pirate Skeleton, either.

    I disagree, it makes too much sense.

    This is a good change rememberence doesn't need to be a unique buff it should have always been a major protection. The nerf is to other players only getting the heal now....this makes for a weak ultimate now

    Just fantastic, severe nerf to one of the skills they only yesterday pointed out as being a Templar strength and not even document it so it can be discussed by the community. If Remembrance and Sleet Storm are op together, why nerf Remembrance? Warden is already OP enough, Sleet Storm could have been scaled back or given something else to make it unique. It could have been equalised. Templars have nothing unique left in the class trees except Healing Ritual, GG ZOS, GG.

    Yea blows my mind that Templars lose another utility skill and it's given to Wardens in the form of sleet storm....talk about pumping up that warden
