Ok, so I have been reading all the notes, what people are saying, and noting what people are posting from the tests on PTS.
And I have come to a few conclusions as to what to expect to see, once it is live.
Khajiit are going to become more popular..... right now, crit is king for DPS, and with the nerfs, going to become even MORE popular. And the cats get a bonus to it.
When you combine that with the fact that flurry now does more than jabs did, as well as some of the other commonly used spammables, I expect to see a LOT more dual dagger combos.
Now, they have also changed flurry from a bunch of rapid stabs to flailing like a meth head ..... and I KNOW I am going to die laughing the first time I see a group of flailing players attacking some monster. And we ALL know we are going to see a group do it, even if just for the humor value. "All forces move up .... commence flailing"
In addition, there are going to be the die hard Templars..... waving their pool noodles around.... reminiscing of better days. While this is going on, the Wardens will be in their own spot, stroking their destruction staves.... because they will, pretty much, be birthed with them, at this point.
The Nightblades will be hiding even more, now ..... While the Necros will be over fondling their bones, and thinking of better days
The poor Dragon Knights will be too tired to use their magicka whips...... and when they finally get the stamina up to use it, won't have the magicka to make it work.
Sorcerers, and their entourage, will of course be running around ..... sadly, that entourage will be even more necessary, so sorcs have been relegated to being zookeepers for the daedric powers..... even if they pretend to fight them. I suspect they will start going for armors that give even more pets ... if you are a zookeeper, you may as well have a large zoo......
Regardless, though, I am sure we can all enjoy watching a pack of people flailing around the giant Lurcher, right outside Daggerfall.

I'd report your observations for clearly unambiguous remarks IF it wasn't so totally hillarious
Still, good to know I'll have to eventually make a cat. Maybe stamplar...0 -

The point is the humor - I pay out for 3 subscriptions, myself, my fiance', and my step mother --- our vote with U35 coming is to wait and see --- we play for fun, and as long as it remains fun, we will stick around. But, with all the people stating they are leaving, etc.... we have to find some humor.
And, as my fiance' put it --- chest hunting will be much easier if all the people that say they are leaving actually do it.

Holds onto the Vampire Spammables, Destruction Staff Spammables, and Flame Lash.
R.i.p. Molten Whip...
Also forgot how every single one of DK's damage over time abilities save for 2 ults and a morph of a healing ability have gotten shafted since they're all single target instead of AoE.Edited by Vevvev on August 12, 2022 10:36PMPC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK0 -

✭Well....
I had hoped I would be wrong... but over half of the various guild lists and friends I have in the game have all been switching over to NB's --- now, EVERYONE is a Nightblade, and most are not using the Flail Attack ... they are desperately trying to find anything else that can work.
I have also noticed a serious lessening of the Isobels running around .... guess the former Templars don't like seeing her using the attack animation that they aren't allowed to use, themselves for "reasons"...
I want to ask the same question I have already seen from the Wardens... what Templar hurt the powers that be, so badly, that they went so scorched earth?
