Trimming more class skills for Stam Sorc PvP

With dswing CC gone I will now have to drop bound armaments on my front for the fighter guild fear as a CC. No reasonable build can drop a further 2 skills front/back for make room for the clanfear.

We were promised identity. Instead we will be trimming the few class skills that do make our bars. Don't make promises again. This was the biggest let down I have ever experienced to date... and I am a Morrowind survivor.

    You sure? Bound Armanents will be a burst skill now similar to Grim Focus.

    Did they sneak that buff into a section other than the class changes. I heard that was an upcoming change featured at PAX but it's not in the class changes section.

    I already uninstalled. Regardless maybe it's time to move on anyways. Between BOTs ruining the console economy and performance issues there has to be better games out there.

    Update 24 Combat Preview:
    "We are also looking to address feedback regarding Wardens, Sorcerers, and Dragonknights specifically in the realm of identity."

    PTS Patch Notes v5.2.0:
    "Summon Unstable Clannfear (morph):
    This morph’s damage now scales off your Max Stamina, rather than Magicka.
    Decreased the cost of the special activate to 4500, down from 4808.
    The Area of Effect attack now deals the same damage as the basic attack, but hits in a 6 meter radius, up from 5 meters.
    Fixed an issue where the AoE attack would cause the Clannfear to re-evaluate its purpose in life for 1 second after casting, lowering its potential DPS."

    Losing Dizzy Swing will hurt Stamsorc more. I'm glad I've been making a build without it lately and getting used to Fear, but this Dizzy Swing change is absolutely absurd, a cast time like that deserves a reward, and it is ONLY ever slotted for the stun+burst, useless as just burst

    It's an overloaded skill. If they want to keep the stun, then they have to reduce the damage, increase the cast time, or both.

    Do you feel the lack of imagination tho, simply copying the Spectral Bow of Nightblades to make some kind of Conjured Dagger for Sorcerer class? :*

    I think it operates more like dot - something like deadly cloak from dw skill line but one that you need to charge with light attacks? Tbh it's not very clear what they mean with the tooltip.

    Well, I tested it very shortly. Altogether (4 daggers) it does more damage than dizzy. But from dummy testing I can't tell if it is dodgeable, but I guess it is. However, it scales with Master-at-Arms but not with Thaumaturg. So it's more delayed direct damage than a real DoT.
