This overpowered Nightblade ability has got to be toned down. The abuse of such a powerful tool should not and cannot be tolerated any longer. Nightblades need to be taken down a notch.

    No. It is a nightblade skill that has been misplaced under the mages guild skill line. I hope that they fix this in a future patch, but who can say.

    Not trolling. This is by far the most used Nightblade skill in the game currently. It is extremely powerful when used in conjuntion with the bow and its abilities. I would like to see a serious look taken into the dmg output of this ability.

    I disagree. Volcanic Rune is not nearly powerful enough for it's incredibly long cast time and innefficient use of mana.

    It obviously penalizes stamina builds, and isn't even worth putting on your bar because there are better abilities, like snipe.
    Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
    Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
    Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.

    XBOX NA
    Ruze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.

    He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.

    This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.

    I disagree; clearly, volcanic rune is a Dunmer skill, nerf Bows.

    You might be onto something here. Snipe + Volcanic Rune.....the possibilties of having a magicka/stamina build are definitely there.

    You guys are all missing the point. I saw a bot use biting jabs once. We should instaban anyone who uses this ability. Then class balance will be irrelevant and we can continue using op nightblade abilities mistakenly placed under the mages guild skill lines because there will be no more gold farmers.

    LOL .
    I just finished some dungeon runs and I was thinking that I should go 2 skills from the MG nightblade line and 2 Undoubted Nightblade skill line along with siphoning attacks and meteor. You are right NBs have great OP skill lines.

    Lol......nightbladed skill. Seriously? Nothing stopping you from using it on whatever class you play. Give nightblades a break. The most brokened class in the game is still broken.....

    No wonder Templars get a bad rap. They are using Nightblade skills.

    Hey! Roll a Nightblade if you want to play like a Nightblade.

    Don't troll my post. Volcanic Rune is the issue here. It has made MY nightblade EXTREMELY overpowered. Something needs to be done about the god mode that was allowed in this game.

    I could see how volcanic rune could be annoying in PVP, especially if several people are using it at the same time. But please, ZOS, don't nerf this and make PVE life even harder. We templars don't have many CC options, so volcanic rune is very handy.

    It's instant cast, if you're fumbling with placement that's another issue entirely.

    Also, if you are a stamina build you've already penalized yourself.

    If you are a stam build then you are running the most optimal build for a volcanic rune god mode build. Just think, all of that magicka for volcanic rune.....

    What else can be said...we need some dev response on the balancing issue this extremely powerful ability is causing.
