I enjoyed the stacks staying, but now they're off again, I'm dropping the skill. It now continues to drop off before I can use it so no thanks.

Yeah, I probably will replace it with the fear. I’ll likely have a better build with that even if it were still bugged.

The bugfix is ​​definitely garbage and makes the class of the NB a whole lot worse

This change only really affects melee gankers, right?

Brawlers will simply brawl more to get the stacks up and then fire as they always have.

From range, the spec bow has "missed" more & more & more each patch for the last 5 or 6 patches without "missed" or "dodge" or anything even coming up on screen. So if you're playing a bowblade or ranged magblade, you won't really miss the extra damage you stacked and held onto by having this ability on your bars, right?

I mean let's be honest. With everyone being so tanky/healy nowadays in PvP, you weren't solo killing that Warden/DK/Sorc/Templar from range anyway, right? Not even with the extra damage and the spec bow that this ability and its morphs used to provide in PvP, but now only do in PvE.

That makes me wonder: Are there any other class abilities for other classes that behave differently with less functionality in PvP than they do in PvE like Grim Focus and all its morphs now do?

It would be nice @ZOS_Kevin, if one of you at ZOS could tell your customers what the company is thinking with these changes to Grim Focus combined with more abilities now pulling a Nightblade out of stealth as they begin to cast them.

Who knows @ZOS_GinaBruno, maybe someday someone at ZOS will make a public statement on the direction they intend Nightblade to go as a class?

But hey folks, at least Brawlblades & Nightblade RoA/VD bombers - everyone's favorite Nightblade playstyles - can continue to have fun, right?

Or maybe someone can tell all the Nightblades exactly what they're running as a Nightblade build for this Vengeance test. That might be fun too.

So seems like the skill doesn't even build stacks like it should anymore when being in combat. I sent in a ticket already. Several guild members and redditors confirmed this.
I also made several clips to proof.

If that's how ZOS "fixes" stuff I doubt ZOS is capable of reworking every class and skill.
Not talking about when leaving combat.
Talking about when being in combat

Edit: in PvE merciless still keeping it's stacks when being out of combat.
But LA with my resto staff don't build any stacks in pve too
