Dragonborn were notoriously weak in the PHB. Everyone appeared to be happy with the Fitzban changes. Why did they nerf it again?
The Fizban changes had the problem of being only useful to classes with extra attack, but yeah, breath weapon is a signature feature of the race, it should be good enough that people will want to actually use it.

Unless I remember incorrectly how is it only useful to those with extra attack? Yes, those with extra attack benefited more, but for those without, didn’t both versions (PHB and Fizbans) use up their action anyway?
Everyone wielding 2 LIGHT WEAPONS can attack twice once main action and once a light bonus action THAT IS THE PROPERTY OF LIGHT WEAPONS
every class can take the attack action and replace both light weapon attacks with 2 Fizbans dragonborns breath weapon exhalations.
benefit is that SPELLCASTERS still have a reaction WAR CASTER allows you to cast ONE, 1 actions spells as opportunity attacks, WHICH MEANS YOU CAN CAST HASTE And have 2 More BREATH WEAPON ATTACKs as YOU REPLACE YOUR first Light weapon then THE Singular light weapon allowed becomes a Bonus action Light weapon attack
ALLOWING 4 BREATH WEAPON ATTACKS EVERY TURN TILL YOU RUN OUT of PB uses.
THE ISSUE IS THAT NOW YOU ARE BARELY A SPELLCASTER You BECAME BREATH WEAPON BLASTER.
SURE IT ALLOWS MORE VARIETY of Combat options, BUT It also adds more complexity do you? hold breath weapon for when spells run out?or use breath weapon first on non bosses And SAVE SPELLS to do massive NOVA damage to bosses? Since breathweapon Elemental damage or dc effects can be resisted by boss bbeg's
1) stop using caps, that is really hard to read and not very polite.
2) No, you can only replace one single attack per turn with the breath weapon, not every attack.

Yes, but the thing that made it worth doing was the ability to get your extra attacks, otherwise a d10 per tier is worse than the playtest breath.

Actually, it's once per attack action, but as an offhand weapon attack is not an attack action it doesn't apply (haste does give an attack action, but requires the attack be a weapon attack, so the only way to use it more than once is action surge).

You are, of course, correct. :)
