Feel free to leave thoughts and comments, but please... keep them serious. DO NOT VOTE IF YOU ARE TROLLING.


Other than that, I figured this would be a good poll to get the whole community's opinion.

    None are over powerd( some are just the right power and ZOS needs to revert nerf and fix the others to get on that lvl). You know what's over powwerd being able to use vigor while cloaked. There's other things that are over powerd but not classes. Hmm let me think WB timed right and going through cc immunity is over powerd, steal tornado hitting harder then single target skills is over powerd, the gap closing mechanic that stops you in your tracks and locks you up is over powerd, nerf threads are over powerd becuase that's all ZOS listens to.

    From my dueling, I can't really say any class is overpowered. I tend to lose more against magicka Templars and stamina Nightblades, but I'd say it's more of a L2P issue for me. Most even battles I usually have with sorcs though. All in all, you win some and you lose some. Most of the time it comes down to skill, strategy and execution of said strategy. Oh and Champion Points, but thankfully that problem is going away soon-ish. For the record, I PvP on my Magicka Nightblade, but haven't settled down on the exact build yet.

    That's the key right there. If any one class was "overpowered", they would win every time. Hence the word overpowered. Because we're not talking about a particular skill, we're talking about the class in general.

    DKs are stong tanks and have great dps.
    Templars are stong healers and have great group support.
    NBs can support heal while doing dps or have strong burst damage.
    Sorcs have great survivabillity while going full dps.

    So there is no class that's best in everything.

    None of them. NBs are squishy(especially stamblades) DKs have low mobility, making them easy to dodge and evade; and a templar is best at healing, its DPS skills are not overpowering.

    Sorcerers can be overwhelimg at times, but that is solely due to my build and playstyle, not the class itself.

    Tldr at the bottom. I have a Stam NB, Magblade, Stamplar, And Magplar. In my experience my Magblades weakness is Sorcs but I can cloak forever and overall still win most of the time. I just hate shield stackers. Stam NB is very very squishy but can absolutely destroy other players. My Stamplar isn't as squishy as my Stamblade and has slightly less DPS output but has a bit more sustain. My Magplar (Although I really hate magicka) is by far my best character, and IMHO is the best class in PvP and maybe even in dungeons. Your best self heal is automatically given to you when you first make your character (Breath of Life) and your main damage ability is as well. (Puncturing Sweeps). Combined with a chance to Crit, and proc burning light, and then proc a Crit from burning light, easily makes this ability the best DPS ability in the game, if not in PvP alone. Magplar has the best self heals, sustain, and damage imo. Anybody who thinks NBs are op has a L2p issue. Quite frankly NBs are easy mode to me. But even though I think Magplars are the best, that doesn't make them OP. No class is op. when played right, you can wreck with any class. Do what you like (As long as your not a Hybrid you'll do fine) and play how you like.
    tl;dr: no class is op play how you like and you'll be fine

    when i play nightblade: sorcerer is over powered, all those shields stop my crits so my damage sucks and they can bolt through me if i try to stealth or just to get away. not to mention phoenix set with reduced crit damage when it does land.

    when i play sorc Dk is overpowered: reflecting all my spells back at me, and roots to drain my stamina till i cant escape.

    when i play DK templar is overpowered, I cant reflect channeled abilities, the jabs knock back wastes my stamina if i try to block or because i need to cc. and my damage is so low and has no burst they heal through it and purge any dots.

    When i play templar nightblade is overpowered. the stealth burst opener using lethal arrow to debuff my healing on top of it weave with disease enchant on bow, and there is no visual indicator. if i dont purge as soon as it hits they ambush in and stun lock me, and if i get a purge and heal off and counter, they stealth or fear and just repeat.

    @SemiD4rkness i have a sorc but havent pvp'd with it much i admit. but you missed the point entirely, and I know enough to feel justified for my post as i have played the other classes to know sorc is nothing for my dk, sorc is hell for my NB.

    I'd explain it to you but as you seem to be jumping on anything claiming Nb doesnt need a nerf, maybe I should ask you what have you played in pvp?

    Edit: if you read my post fully before comment you would see what i said about templars hating NB guessing you're a templar? :smirk: - stamina based by any chance?

    you have a DK too? would explain why you think Sorcerer is nothing? or is that because you just started a sorc maybe?

    He has only played one class. I think its DK or Templar. He claims that no other class is good against NB. He is going off what others have been saying.

    This just shows how much you read posts before you start your cry nerf talk... Answer to your question is in first part of first sentence. But why read post, right, when you can just not read it, and go straight to trolling and crying nerf NBs, like i see you are doing all over this forum.
