How did the patch ruin my main build's rotation?

[HannahQH]

I just logged in after the new patch and my main build feels completely gutted. The cooldown on my key ability has been doubled and the damage scaling seems off, which has thrown my whole rotation out of whack. I'm not sure if I'm missing a new interaction or if I just need to scrap this character and start over.

Yep, I logged in after the patch and my main build feels gutted too. The key ability cooldown is clearly doubled for me, and the damage scaling looks all off compared to before.

I tried a quick dummy test with a different talent path, but the numbers barely budged. It felt like the patch nerfed more than it fixed.

Are you sure you're chasing the real issue, or did you miss a new interaction introduced by the patch?

I stuck with a simpler gear setup and still saw the same slowdown in my burst windows. It’s not just subjective; the timing feels brittle now.

I’m thinking about swapping to an alt build or waiting for hotfix notes, but I’m not confident that would help; maybe this is just one character’s problem.
