Is he less acrobatic? A little. But it's better then having to compensate for a hacked off limb that aids in balance.
I actually wonder- cats and dogs have a big bundle of nerves that connect to the base of their tail. Â If the tail is pulled hard enough, it can damage that bundle of nerves and actually cause paralysis to the legs/lower part of the spine. Â It would be an interesting weakness to have to protect against, considering armor doesn't really protect against pulling/ grabbing and all their armor has a tail slot for it to wag around instead of actually protecting the tail (which is prone to all sorts of injuries- degloving, breaking, being caught in doorways...)
I imagine that miqo'te that fight very rarely have full-length tails in actuality and that most of them have sustained some sort of injury to their tail...

I have no idea why they did away with that. I thought it was a cool little detail.
