I understand how the first round of patch notes look daunting & farfetched but I honestly feel that anyone cancelling their subscriptions as a protest during the first week of PTS seems redundant. Still have a few chances to see if things change etc.
I unno, ZOS nerfed way too much stuff for a lot of it not to stick. They generally don’t listen to PTS feedback. They rarely listen to all the crap in the forums (some folks love it, some folks hate it, what to do? Re-skin a few mounts, and sell some dresses in the crown store!).

True, I think ZOS also have to make an effort to bring the lower-end of that scale up quite a bit, but the gap is simply too wide to be able to design content in any kind of sensible manner. In the mean time, tanks and healers are written off as worthless apart from trials and some vet DLC content.
Also, I support making everyone share the burden of group utility. There used to be a time when sorc dds used negates for group protection in trials, nightblades used veil, templars used novas, dragonknights used standards... Nowadays DDs only use damage ultimates exclusively, while tanks and healers are expected to coordinate as close to 100% aggressive warhorn uptime as possible. Every. Single. Fight. Sorcs can and do provide tanks with synergies through lightning splash, other DDs can slot abilities with synergies to make up for fewer orbs.
I'm curious and optimistic, and I get a sense that I didn't for a very long time, that the combat team finally have a plan and are following through.
Dps only using damage ults is how it should be.Are you going to tell me to backbar a resto staff next?
You’re not the one to decide how things should or shouldn’t be in this game, it’s ZOS choice and it’s only theirs.
Well my casual vet trial group just became a casualty of the changes. We cleared some (not nearly all) vet trials and was basically a “no pressure, just friends” group of around 16 players. We hung around in discord and just talked. I was a substitute dps for the main group.
We went from;
Bring any normal build you want;
(Then racial passive changes);
To restricting racial choices on some roles (my Bosmer lost their dps spot for example);
(Then proposed class changes);
To now, we are just giving up when these go live.
One issues is about the healers. I am not 100% sure what the healing changes exactly means, but 2 of our healers are sorcs and they are throwing in the towel.
So now a subset of them are researching what we are to do now. Looking at other games etc.
We are still doing trials until the patch, but it sort of feels like going to a favorite hangout spot that will be under new management soon.
At least it was fun until they started changing things against pve play.
