Keep in mind NBs have higher DPS than stam sorcs and also grim focus is now a strong defensive skill as well. It’s just different.
It is funny that "bound armaments" has max stam bonus which increases overall dps while "relentless focus" has damage mitigation.
Such identity, much immersion. WOW!

I pointed this out multiple times in the class identity thread. It goes to show how the development team does not have people on staff that understand class identity. I have begun to realize understanding and creating a class with identity is actually a unique skill and one that they don't have. If they did, they would never have,,,,
removed a nightblade's class defining ASSASSINATE skill's offensive buffs and replaced it with a defensive buff
and
given a sorc skill called BOUND ARMOR two offensive buffs and the same offensive mechanic as a nightblade's class defining skill.
If someone told me to do my best to mess up the classes I don't think I could have come up with such a bad idea if I tired.
I am in no way trying to get sorcs nerfed, when I played the game I played both. I just think the devs have really hurt the classes severely and its looking like the mistakes just continue to pile on.

Got nothing against the rest of what you said and agree with most except the Bound Armor jab based off the name. That's the base ability name while the morph you're referring to is Bound Armaments, which lends itself to an offensive nature versus Bound Armor and Aegis. The Stamina increase is kind of irrelevant but the light attack damage boost (previously heavy attack damage boost) further emphasize that.
It makes sense the active ability was changed in the way that it was, coupled with requests for creating bound weapons, but the Relentless ripoff, in my eyes, wasn't exactly the best execution of all that.
