First off, the new animation looks great! No more "log of light" spamming. It genuinly looks like a spear now! I'll give it a 7/10. Only because we don't have a spear weapon type in the game.
Secondly, after testing the new jabs/sweeps fairly extensively, and comparing them to other single target spammabe abilities, Jabs/sweeps seems right about in line. However, in PVP I think they will lag behind due to Major Evasion, and Jabs/sweeps unique situation where they fill the roll of the single target spammable while also being an AoE ability. I think the resolution could be as simple as allowing Burning Light to go back to 1 second proc timer.
How about you, PTS Community. What do you think? What problems do you have with the new Jabs/Sweeps?
