    I think the most common NB build will now be..

    Fire Staff Heavy attack > Cloak > Fire Staff Heavy attack > Cloak > Fire Staff Heavy attack > Cloak > Fire Staff Heavy attack > Cloak > Fire Staff Heavy attack > Incapacitating strike > Assassins Will > Grim Focus > Cloak

    with a maybe cast of Inevetable Det during the cloak before the Ult+Will combo.
    I play every class in every situation. I love them all.

    I'm going to have quite the stamina build to counter all these Magicka Nightblades come 1.7.

    I think I'm looking forward to this patch more than 1.6.

    Need to play on PTS first though.....that kind of burst my 1.6 bubble too ) =

    What do you think about this: Roots will be extremly good in 1.7?
    Since dodgeroll increased cost, bolt escape increased cost. Wouldn't a talons-spammer be quite deadly? :P

    edit: a good one ofc, since he drains your resources (stam for rollbuild , mana for sorc)

    I took this screenshot on PTS with a min-maxed Breton nightblade with 3600 champion points and every buff in game active.
    This is without emperor though... I don't want to think how high it could be with emp lol. Also I was min maxing the tooltip damage and so as a result I had low spell pen.

    On vamps dawnbreaker of smiting works well in place of incapacitating strike. Grim focus > prox det > teleport strike or cloak in for bonus stealth damage > dawnbreaker of smiting

    As a magica NB, coming up against another magica class stacking harness magica and a class shield makes for a fight where it is difficult to burst them down.

    I'm not too worried about Talons spam but yes Root spam will be slightly more powerful.

    S&B - 2 hander w/shuffle.

    Up to 2776 Stamina regen without any buffs other than Drink and I'm still wearing garbage gear with only 2 stam regen set bonuses. I'll be bursting up to 4K Stamina regen in a ~75% max weapon damage build by the time IC hits. If I get low health just spam Absorb magic and let you heal me to full while I'm waiting for the roll dodge counter to reset. Pretty much the only way a stamblade is going to survive a good sorc in 1.7 as well.

    I'm really starting to like Deep slash. Maim + Aoe Slow + Damage, it's doing wonders against the sorcs I find so far, I need to test to determine whether the slow/maim is blockable. Was using it on our favorite garbagecan exploiting sorc last night as he tried to kill me.

    I think all these magicka nigthblades are going to have a tougher time than they think with the nerf to Healing ward. Remember damage shields are going to be weaker than damage itself for today and the healing done by healing ward will be roughly 25% of what it heals for today!

    The thing I miss most about my sorc isn't Bolt Escape....it's the third damn spell bar! So many good abilities and so little room!

    But you are forgetting the nerf of Proxy.

    No telling how low the damage will be with fewer targets. It should still be goo for zerg diving though.
    Here since Beta.

    Characters: All of them, both Stamina and Magicka.
