Do we really need any more OP NB builds? Besides every knows the ultimate build is just spamming wrecking blow.

This build is far from OP and unlike what the OP wants you to believe, is fairly standard since 1.6.

I don't see how you could possibly kill anybody with a magic nightblade. certainly not a 1v1 duel. which is closest thing we have to compare viability of builds.

In IC, you might get 1 or 2 hits on somebody that is already fighting somebody else...but who can't do that.

I spam Cloak all day long and everything drops dead around me.

This was more a reference to the "omg nerf Cloak" threads all over the forums.

RIP Magicka Nightblade.. Can spam Cloak all day long, but deals nearly 0 damage with classskills compared to other classes. And with IC patch melee playstyle is dead cause you can't handle it with the new resources management.

I manage fine with both Magicka Melee and resource management. Of course it doesn't do as much damage as a Stamina Nightblade, can't endlessly break free from CC nor does it have the same protection or an awesome weapon-free heal like Vigor, but hey Cloak OP right?

There's a reason why there's almost not a single competent Magicka Nightblade left. And it's not because it's so boring to play because Cloak OP.

That's how I see it...people are just spamming Funnel Health which only does like 2k dmg...heck tanks have almost that in passive health regen

meanwhile Wrecking Blow is still hitting for 10k, Crystal Frags is hitting for 7k

I'm still waiting for the OP Magicka NB Plays on YouTube like 1.6. But maybe they will never come with that patch...

While I definitely kill things slower. I gotta say, I win my fair share of 1v1 encounters. I toss my dots on them and funnel spam like there's no tomorrow. The health tick I get back from that is pretty big.

Skill Bars
BAR TWO – Restoration staff
Retreating Manoeuvre: Use when travelling on horse OR in cloak for a long (30 second?) 40% speed buff. Also great for escaping and anticipating roots and snares, as they can be dangerous to this build.

What about using Double Take? I know it doesn't give mounted speed boost, but it can be casted while Dark Clock is up and while stealthed with out breaking out. It is also magika based, which might be a downside for resource management. Just curious on your thoughts.

Thanks!
