What was the point of nerfing shrouds in PvE?

why tho, seems so random, it's like devs want to force us to try their new specs

Not rly because the nerfs to shroud apply to harbinger also 😂

They wanted to tone down the sustain as it was over the top.

Eh? HBshrod isn't affected, at all, by anything. It doesn't absorb damage, and it's entirely percentage-based, so even vitality changes don't do anything.

I think they should probably consider throwing some damage in there for open world specs because getting slapped out of shroud is not great for dps. I dunno, beef up the flesh golem and make him cool again

Oh I thought they nerfed it's DR which would hit harbinger?

Harbinger isn't protected by the shroud, and takes damage directly to health even in it. And I'm pretty sure there's no damage reduction attached to it either.
