I don't do the meta. I use new moon acolyte with briarheart. Every patch I felt a decrease in power for various reasons. This one broke the camel's back.
Yeah... I feel you. I was a stamplar main but now ZOS killed my desire to play that character. The new spammable animation just feels wrong, but the damage is also pityful. Not sure what class I am going to pick up now.

I'm soloing Elden Hollow I right now, and so far I can't tell much difference at all.
This is on my PC EU Redguard Stamblade main.
The fact that I can't tell much difference (yet) might be because I tend to play way-off-META and mainly use HAW and MAW.
Yeah, you probably didn't get nerfed all that badly actually. All that Stamblade lost is the stun on Surprise Attack but they got a guaranteed crit every 4 seconds.

My favourite bit was the bit where they uncoupled Burning Light from Aedric Spear abilities and bragged how it would make it proc more easily, and then slapped a 499ms increase on the cooldown on stack generation.

Stamblade. Yeah, you probably didn't get nerfed all that badly actually. All that Stamblade lost is the stun on Surprise Attack but they got a guaranteed crit every 4 seconds. I take it you are also using Resolving Vigor as a heal, which got buffed. This appears to be a Templar thread though and they took a big nerf on Jabs and Burning Light.

My DK, who can throw rocks at enemies *sigh*, agrees.(...) The new spammable animation just feels wrong (...)

Jabs is not a utility skill. It is a spammable with utility attached. (And in this case that utility can be gotten from weapon power pots.) If it’s going to be used only for utility, as you suggest, then the devs need to give serious thought as to why it is failing as the spammable they intend it to be.
