these unsual ideas about changes.

So, ok shields might've been a bit over powered if you could manage to stack 40 of them sure. What about the classes and players that can't double stack? Why 40% hp cap for classes and roles that typically have relatively low hp to begin with? sure I can tweak AP and get 20k hp or add all tri stat glyphs on my gear but that is relatively not very cost effective considering how rare hakiejo runes are since they only drop in IC or can be bought in IC( only heard rumors of them being in heavy sacks in wrothgar never seen them myself). Why the drastic reduction in channeled skill times? Why did radiant gory need to be nerfed to 1.8 seconds, was ti really so OP that you had to make it end in the blink of an eye? Why weren't other class based shields like solar shield buffed to match the 40% hp cap? I just don't understand why the need for this odd and idiotic changes.

"Radiant Destruction: Decreased the channel time for this ability and its morphs to 1.8 seconds from 2.8 seconds; the damage done has been decreased by approximately 15% and cost by approximately 35%. The total damage per second and cost per second should remain relatively unchanged.
Developer Comment:
Spoiler
This change allows the Templar more opportunities to integrate damage over time effects into their rotation during the execute phase, while retaining the powerful level of Radiant Destruction. The reduction of time spent casting should help Templars' execute phase feel more engaging for the caster since they can now devote more time to maintaining other abilities.."

Apparently this person knows nothing about canceling abilities early by blocking or rolling, it makes the ability seem like it ends before it even begins. How do you even think reducing the dmg of the ability makes it feel more useful, especially when one of it's morphs is based on healing you for a % of the damage dealt? It does quite the opposite as most only use the jesus beam while enemies are under 25% hp to make sure you get the most of the damage it can do. You've essentially made it nearly pointless to use. I really do think these devs and combat designers really have NO idea about the game itself or how people play it. And see as it is a DOT they want you to dot while you dot even though you're others are more than likely still on going since ya know, they are over time.

Radiant destruction is better in pvp imo. A shorter cast execute lets you do more LA and if someone LOS it it doesn't waste as much of your mana. Before it wasn't on my bar now it is.

the only reason to use destruction is PVP, but I don't PVP or at least not enough for it to really count, so I used Radiant glory because I liked being able to heal at a distance with 30k crit clicks but now it's completely worthless for that. I didn't mind the cost mp wise as I never took a large hit from it to begin with as it wasn't used until 25% or less hp on a boss, unless I misclicked and cast it early. The time reduction and dmg reduction just seem strange for something that was an execute essentially as there was never any reason to use it when someone had over 30-25% hp for maximum dmg.

All in all, these ridiculous changes are making me not want to renew my eso+ since we don't gt anything worth while from them unless we're a tank 'cus that's all we need apparently are tanks and stam dps, and to be told by devs how we should play and enjoy a game that before had plenty of open ended ways to play. Players should be deciding how to play and have fun themselves, not being told by the devs how we should be enjoying the game or how we should be playing. Seriously making me question further purchases from any Zenimax subsidiary. It makes me upset and sad all at the same time as I've enjoyed lots of their products but why try when they want to dictate how to enjoy a game to me, That should be OUR choice not theirs.
