Only thing I see is:
Stalker Ablating Strike now properly triggers proc enhancements only on its main target.
... not sure how that affects Sweep, since Ablating Strike is the last power in that combo.
What's going on?

Ablating Strike had a neat 'feature' tied to its position as the finisher for the Sweep combo, where any procs in it had a chance to fire on anyone caught in the Sweep AoE (10'?) regardless of whether the combo was in play or not.
For example my lvl 14 dual blades stalker has all of the starter IOs (originally pre-order exclusives for Going Rogue if I recall, but now in the Paragon Rewards tree) in Ablating Strike, so the various procs attached to them (2x10% chance for damage, 2x12% chance for damage, 1x10% chance for knockdown) all had a chance to fire on everyone around me every time I used it, rather than just the main target.
Alas that small perk to an otherwise mediocre set has been taken away - c'est la vie.
EDIT: Ooh, maybe they'll re-jig the combo so it isn't tied to a 90s recharge power any more? Too much to hope for?

The next set of ATOs for stalkers has a proc that will automatically recharge BU.
I went and tried it out again.
In an effort to fix this "exploit" the Sweep combo is only sweeping only one target and none in the vicinity.

OK, *that* would be bad. Can get on and verify as well in a bit, if needed. |

Gemini, did you /bug this in game?
I just tested out the sweep combo 3 times in PP and I'm only KBing and damaging 1 NPC with that combo. Sweep has gone from an AOE to a ST effect. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, Sweep is my favorite combo.
Ugh. OK. Yeah, that's broke.
... who is it, synapse for powers? May want to fire a PM off to him as well. (Zwill if you're not sure, he'll bring it to the right person's attention - but /bug it in game too.)
(Edit: Fired off PM to Z and Freitag to add to known issues, and Synapse to look into it. Hope I'm remembering synapse right!)

Unlike Sweep for the other DB ATs, the Stalker version is now effectively a single-target combo.
I'm not at all happy about that. It's not like Stalkers have a lot of AoE options to work with in the first place and losing one makes me an unhappy camper. I use that pretty heavily on Kestrel for mitigation purposes... Not having it any more is going to hurt. A lot.

Cool beans. I /bugged it in-game, too.
