I know how many current build fares at a 1v1 with a sorc. I charge in and put zero noticable difference in his shields, keeping block held the entire time so i can block his bolt stun.

A good sorc is the only untouchable class right now and no nirnhoned doesnt change anything, if anything it just lowers your dps to make it even harder to burst those shields.
You obviously not figured out the joy that is reflect or dodge or absorb. I am a sorc and I never use overload outside of an offbar. If someone is dumb enough to eat my overloads without dodging, reflecting, or absorbing, they are a waste of an ultimate. They will just as easily die to my frags and other projectiles. I get excited when I see sorcs start using overload because I know my defensive stance is about to kill them.
NB burst from stealth mainly

Not if you got your shields up. My snipe + ambush combo at 2480 weapon power doesn't even crack the shield(its crit immune). Thats a one time burst too. I have caught sorcs unaware and with shields down and sure that kills you, but thats hardly a fight if only one person is actually aware. Now get real here, have you actually died from a nb who was like "come at me bro" not hiding. Ive been able to fight with sorcs for a while before my team mates show up to finally get enough dps to pop them, but its never a real kill. Its glass cannon vs steel cannon, one is just straight up better.
Honestly ive never even met a stam or magicka nb I couldn't kill, its always completely possible in a 1v1 scenario. Ill just mark em and lay into them just like any other class. Its always a fun and fair fight where I never feel like im facing this mystical untouchable roll spamming mess like the forums would have me believe. Roll is so easy to counter and its our only reliable means of living for an even remotely competitive amount of time. I actually find blocking most enemies to be a much more effective use of stamina if im actually trying to fight and not run.

Short answer to this: You´re doing it wrong.
I´ve been isntakilled by competent NBs with freshly recasted shields with a certain unavoidable stealth combo. The only thing that could save you against that is radiant magelight.

Or your doing it wrong. Or the sorcs I fight are doing it right. Or zenimax is doing it wrong. Lots of options here, whos to blame? Really though should it take a sneak attack to break shields? Thats the point im trying to make is if your in a real fight with a nb how is he ever going to pop those shields? Stealth just isn't a real fight, its a super huge advantage and doesn't accurately depict the real better player or class. The fact that almost every night blade is forced into hiding and picking off weak and vulnerable targets from stealth says volumes about our actual pvp effectiveness.
We got fear though, yeah its really good against block casters or tank builds. I can appreciate a good counter, like radiant destruction on a roll spammer, camo hunter on a vampire, dark cloak to soul assault, block to meteor, rolling to frag, radiant magelight to stealth......... I can go on and on and I like all of it. There is one thing I cant really think of a way to counter though, yeah shield spam. Honestly if I had an ace up my sleeve to deal with that I wouldn't even find sorcs too out of whack at all. That is really all it would take to balance them and shields in general, a nice solid counter ability. Maybe an offensive purge to remove buffs or just a move that goes through shields. Its only fair.
Well, if you remove Hardened Ward, Sorcs become free AP, if you nerf NBs, they become free AP as well.
Those people crying about NBs, how would you nerf them exactly? Because I haven't seen any suggestions about that. Some people mention Refreshing Shadows, but do you think having 10-15% less (after nerf) stamina recovery is going to make any difference in fights that last 10 seconds? What NB skills exactly are so overpowered? Fear for example isn't overpowered, it is bugged.. so what skills would you nerf?
Attacking from stealth SHOULD offer a huge advantage, and the Nightblade class is geared specifically to hit hard from stealth, so when it comes to non stealth fights, how would you nerf Nightblades?
Well tbh - there is not much to do right or wrong with this. I´ve got a 12.7k shield against physical attacks and 19k hp (11.8k armor). It´s possible to kill me through that pool over the course of 1 second with snipe => ambush => soulharvest which all hit in a ~0.5 to 1s timeframe depending on execution and range on which snipe was fired. With snipe and ambush both getting stealth attack bonus and stunning it´s not possible to react to this combo bc even if your reaction time was 0.00001s the cc break animation (due to stealth attack) takes 1 global cooldown.

If i hear snipe incoming i automatically dodge roll. It's a reflex from playing NB since launch when i had no other defense. There is a delay between the NB firing the snipe (that's when the sound starts) and casting ambush, giving you a window for the dodge.
If you don't start fighting back until the damage already landed then yes it may be impossible to react, but ZOS gave the big hitting skills (like snipe or meteor) an early warning indicator for a reason.

The last poll was in March shortly after the update. Builds, strategies, and combos has since progressed and I want to see if our opinions have also changed as everyone has come to better understand the new mechanics.

I must have missed something since i love butchering templars in groups because they are simply the easiest target.
All of the Sorcs are voting NB. All of the NBs are voting sorc.
But honestly, sorc is best.
Yes, NB is GREAT. But Sorc is still better.
Solo: NB or Sorc
Group: Templar or DK
Soloists do all the streaming, but group play is what drives the map. Also, I suspect group play dominates AP/ EXP generation. While NB's and Sorcs are the most mobile classes with the best escapability, Templars remain the best healers and DK's put out the most point-blank AoE damage.
Cyrodiil is not primarily designed as a 1v1 arena. Group play is more important.
Yall late. The rise of the DK is back in full swing. Fossilize, 11k lava whip with 9k power lash procs.
