These are my personal opinions, take them with a grain of salt. I will mention that I am a Hunter main so people can better understand my point of view.

Honestly the movement speed and jump height comes out of nowhere. I feel granting a bonus to strength would have been better. The powered melee bonus is definitely a good touch.
[b]Athrys's Embrace[/b]
Those that choose to spec into strength are kinda SOL with this change, but for those that don't it's gonna be pretty useful. Not a bad addition, but I still don't like weighted knife.
[b]Oathkeeper[/b]
The dev commentary clears everything up. This nerf makes PVP strats with this exotic alot more bearable on the other end of the shot. I also like the skill based style of the change.
[b]Raiju's Harness[/b]
It seems the in-game description alongside the nerf are conflicting. Does this just mean guarding now consumes energy normally? If so, it's not exactly unwelcome, as long as it sees a new exotic, but if not and it still doesn't conume energy, it's a bit confusing as to the actual change there is. The super deactivation buff is very welcome, but the weapon damage seems like a little much, since you are already getting super energy back and blinding folks.
[b] Radiant Dance Machines[/b]
This seems to pair well with Acrobat's dodge for a massive buff to class ability use with said dodge, seeing as the cooldown is 1:22 base, radiance will be even easier to maintain. Suspending Slam should have never been a class ability aspect, instead being a melee aspect like Quickfall, but I agree with the nerf to SS.
[b]Stomp-EE5[/b]
This was highly unwarranted. It's not the movement buffs people have issues with: it's the strafing. Mobility is very important in the crucible and the hunter jump style is a big help. The fact that Dunemarchers and Transversive Steps didn't get a similar nerf solidifies this argument.
[b]Mask Of Bakris[/b]
This one was always weird. I feel like the only real use anyone ever found was the damage buff when running stasis. This makes it even more apparent. I will say the non-stacking buffs should change to stack with certain abilities damage buffs (to an extent, primarily supers) like Well Of Radiance or Ward Of Dawn.
