b) With today's patch again I heard that they are nerfing the experience gained for each level so it will take longer for me to ding 50 ?..Any truths behind this ?

Adjusted Experience (XP) for Levels 1 – 50
The experience needed to level from 1 to 50 has been adjusted. Earlier levels now require less experience to obtain, while later levels will require more.

• The total time to level from 1 to 50 should generally remain unchanged, and anyone currently leveling should not see any decrease to their current level progress – in some cases you may see an increase in level depending on progress.

Most of the templar nerfs are to healing and regen synergy who is only relevant in groups.
the CP nerf will not affect an new player with no cp, an alt with plenty of cp will be affected still an alt main benefit is the crafted training set and hopefully an better understanding of the game.

And don't worry about max cp, enjoy the game. CP160 however is an important milestone as you reach gear cap so any gear will be max level and can be used for a long time.

Nerfing is almost never a good solution, everyone who agrees should do their part to discourage it by adding their voice.

Agree, but its an bit off topic here.
I'm strongly against the nerfs but still see that they have minimal impact on an low level new player.

The xp changes from 1-50 is supposed to make it faster to level the first levels and slower the last ones.
This is an good thing as an level 10 has an lack of skill points and just one bar while an level 30 is pretty rounded, it would be pretty easy for an level 30 to solo grind to 50.

You could buff things to the same level just as you can nerf things to the same level. There is one thing that ZOS has refused/never considered buffing and that is Health pools. All long as this trend continues, nerfs have to happen to reduce power creep. Assuming HP remains static, I think we need nerfs. Large sweeping nerfs to healing, then to burst/damage (it's complicated), then to monsters, then maybe to defensive things. It's hard to judge the state of tanking after so many hypothetical fixes. Regen and resource sustain is mostly separate from the balance of the above, but it is encouraging to see they are willing to make sweeping changes for the benefit of the game.

Of course, they do go overboard a bit and don't always nerf in the right ways. Just because not all of the incoming nerfs are savory, though, doesn't mean all nerfs are bad.

It might be tough for a few patch cycles but templar might be rebuffed by the time you get to 600 cp and it actually matters. They made big changes but just don't have time to put the game back to (the new) balance again

I agree that not all nerfs are bad.

For example the nerfs to BSW and CP sustain has resulted in a diversification of item builds for Magicka versions of the classes.

Silks of the sun or BSW (it is close) for MagDK.
Scathing mage/willpower for MagNB
Julianos/war madien for Magplar
Netches touch/necro for MagSorc

Plus Seducers and Alteration mastery options for heavy sustain.
The choice between a mag regen enchant or more spell damage on your jewels.

That is what a good nerf looks like takes out the top dog and results in people having to reavulate everything, perhaps in time all the builds will converge again but hopefully it remains distinct from each other.

I have concerns about other nerfs however particularly around tanks and Templar tanks.

Templar is fine. don't worry.
