Energy is really amazing, just before the tier1 animation finished the 2nd one is already fired (they use same fx), nice change 
However, from all tier1/2 i tested now (AR, arch, ice, elec and nrg), AR still seem to have a high noticable rooting with tier2, even extremely long compared to the new changed energy.

Ice hasn't been changed yet though has it?

Not that i noticed, neither did BaB say it did.
Chances getting bigger they leave ice completly alone, maybe only a little increase of tier2 (0.3sec in that case).

I personally think thats a good thing, as in PvE ice's attaction is the fast attack chain. It lacks a snipe, it lacks a ball attack but what it does is nice damage fast due to power cycling. I wouldn't mind if the other sets got a damage boost and it didn't I like the speed firing concept. Mind you now mines 50 she wont get much play so do what you like to Ice

Upon further testing, I agree. My build on Test is older and has less +Recharge and +Movement so my results were skewed. =\
I did a bunch of testing on my lvl50 nrg/ice, i have to say these changes really makes a great additional DPS. Where i often got stuck on attack-cycles, this extra bit of damage really is a great filler. And with a BU/Aim, the damage isnt that bad

I do like how you can chain them really quickly now but I'm disappointed that they had to change the animation of power blast 
Ya that was a big dissapointment. Funny that <whatshername> you have to rescue few times in RWZ missions (together with that faultline guy) still uses the original animation.

Umm... why do power blast and power bolt both use same animation? 
Iirc it's a bug.
edited: nvm this part, just saw patch notes 20nov, they fixed it
I also reported tier2 of AR, after some testing it seems hardly anything changed of that power.

I guess all this talk of nerf is making me paranoid
