Update 51 kills the game for me.

Punitio

As a pvp pleb playing NB GANK as my main for the last 7 years, i was reading update 51 patch notes and found out that they butchered my favourite playstyle while keeping Sorc and DK braindead classes stronger as always. I can confidently say that devs are DK and Sorc players coz there's no way every single update those two classes ended up being the strongest in Cyro.

"Proc based (effects that trigger from another effect, such as item sets, passives or status effects) attacks no longer benefit from Sneak's bonus damage or guaranteed critical strike. They also no longer benefit from Shadowy Disguises guaranteed critical strike."

I promised @ZOS_Icy that I would cut back on the salt, but please name one update where several someones weren't being very vocal about "you nerfed my favorite thing; my life is ruined and I will hate you forever." Yep, my Sorcs are getting a nerf and I can't think of any class which hasn't been nerfed to some degree over the past 20-ish updates. Somehow I survived those and I still play characters of all classes.

The guaranteed crit was supposed to cover only one instance of damage, not all instances of damage in an instant of time which is why they made the change to stop people abusing a race condition.

If that's how they needed to do it to fix it, it is what it is. Ultimately, anyone that wasn't timing all instances at the same time such that they all crit 100% of the time won't notice the difference.

But really, it just keeps putting to the forefront why NB shouldn't be and should never have been balanced around a single skill. NB was one of the classes that actually needed to be reworked first IMO. Not DK. Not Sorc. Not Warden.

But hey, this is the path the devs have chosen...

The strange part is that it's not the only use of "time" that is abusable in the game, but it is the only one getting addressed this patch. If they will start patching them up, they need to also get the one with CC that allows you to reliably double, triple, and perma CC people.

Cyrodil meant to have the numbers and capture keeps and resources, not hiding in bushes and clicking one button to kill players,
and no one will notice if gankers dont play pvp anymore, at least more extra space in servers for others to play.

Adrastus

so you just going to forget when dk was straight ass back then or ???

ask for buffs not nerfs

Your very first sentence is just another reason why the PVP areas have low population. As an everyday PVE player and somebody who would like to try out PVP, why would I go when there are groups of gankers running around. Ganking killed other MMO's such as Conan.

Isn't Gilliam known for playing NB?

I totally agree with the nerf to procs on gankers. I think there need to be even more nerfs, specifically to the use of streak.

If you want to fill the bounty quest you literally have to choose dk or sorc

Reworked DK would like to have a word with you…preferably only using one button.

Ganking is healthy for the game. But only melee ganking should exist. Sad to see it go, but i guess you still could make it work with flame blossom + something, if you just begin with a heavy attack from stealth to ult?

Kill 20 enemy necromancers probably takes at least a week to complete

Just build enough critical chance within itself, only the guaranteed crit is affected, you still have the usual chance to crit with any of it.
