    They already replied. It WAS intended, but after seeing the backlash, they are going to just make it cost more to use.
    Thank you all for your patience as we tracked this one down. We have an answer for you.

    In patch 1.1.2, we increased the internal cooldown of Biting Jabs from 0.5 seconds to 1.2 seconds. Unfortunately, this change was not documented in the patch notes. This was not intended, and we do apologize.

    This change was made to balance the ability's high single target damage. However we have been reading your feedback, and agree that the ability feels too unresponsive now. We will be reverting this change for the next patch (as soon as possible), and instead will slightly increase the ability's resource cost.

    Oh, and it's more than a 1 second cooldown. It's more like 1.5-2 seconds in some cases.

    Why are they nerfing anything on the Templars? We are probably the weakest class out there.

    I honestly think they are nerfing it because bots spam the hell out of it. They just don't want to say that's the reasoning behind it.

    How this come with the patch ? Isn't this been tested on PTS ?
    Why nerfing templar this class is underperforming compared to Dk and Sorcerer.
