Today I learned they removed the barrier generation from Skill 1 on the Mace.
You mean Mace Blast formerly known as Barrier Blast, i. e. the 3rd skill of the Mace autoattack chain on Mechanist which apparently was stealth-nerfed in the June 27th update?
It’s changes like these that I find rather disturbing.
When Mechanist was released in EoD neither Barrier nor Alacrity have been new concepts. So I have to assume that ArenaNet wanted the autoattack chain to provide Barrier and via Mech Frame: Channeling Conduits also Alacrity.
I further have to assume that they later (June 27th update) wanted to completely remove (not just adjust) Barrier and Alacrity generation from Mace autoattacks and move it to Energizing Slam (Mace 2, Leap) which is also not mentioned in the official patch notes.
So, which is/was wrong? The original version of the autoattack chain or the updated one?
Why not tell your players why you changed your mind or that and made a mistake?
Why not update the official patch notes, if you have forgotten to mention it?
