I just wanted to say that I hope they reconsider the jab animation to go back to the original. Not only does the jab feel weaker after the nerf, but the animation doesn't LOOK powerful either, it feels like i'm playing with a toy and not a strong templar.

    They liked the wet noodle meme so hard they felt like they had to make it real, can't blame them. I want an argonian templar called Hits-Like-Noodle now, though

    The animation is just feels so off. I get what they were going for but it it feels and looks weaker and the more I look at it the more I dont want to use it. The same with the change to Flurry

    The new animation matches what the skill now feels like to play and the damage it now does which is unimpressive and underwhelming, so at least it's consistent in a way lol. And somehow it feels clunkier and jankier with only 3 hits than 4 go figure.

    It is a truly awful change. I honestly hate it more than the sweeping nerfs this patch. Templar was my most-played class pre-patch. Now it just feels terrible to play because its central skill just feels so terrible to use.

    The nerfs were bad enough... but then to throw on a horrible animation change is just adding insult to injury!!

    They ignored all feedback about the animation for the entire PTS cycle and never commented on it a single time, unfortunately we are out of luck.

    I wasn't aware that they changed the attacks from 4 to 3, wow...that's so sad.

    Jabs is bad but you should see rapid strikes. I legit thought it was bugged on the PTS. Now I'm shocked they brought this abomination to the live server along with jabs and all the others. I'm really not prone to dramatics but this all feel like the Devs hate us. They didn't listen to a thing.
