If it was a "bug" that Death Stroke could get the sneak attack bonus, then Why can Sweep do it?

i Never liked that they removed that ability on Death Stroke.. it was the only redeeming quality to that particular Ultimate.

But... if that was not intended, then why can the Templar Sweep ultimate get the full sneak attack bonus?

Please Put back Death Stroke the way it was... it took 300+ ultimate to hit 3k damage using it, and other ultimates can do that for less. Just not in one shot...

it makes no sense to remove the Sneak attack bonus on one of the few melee style ultimate in the game...

I would like to also mention.. a player with a 2handed weapon and uppercut can hit for 2k damage with a sneak attack... thats not even a ultimate..

signed.. a player with all 4 classes at veteran levels.. who just pulled off a 1.2k Sweep that would otherwise have done 300 or so damage on his Templar mage..

    Because the Nightblade was created as crafter class.
    In TESO there are 2 class(DK,Sorc), 1 crafter class(NB) and 1 hauler class(Templar)

    The Death Stroke nerf was overboard. Veiled Strike, a 200 magicka ability, does more damage when sneaking up from behind than the Assassination ultimate. That's just poor. They promised nightblade fixes after the Craglorn patch. What they delivered were more nerfs and breaks.

    Update 1.3 is gonna be it for NB fixes, right guys?

    Compared to official Night Blade issues thread, there is no more incoming buffs to NightBlades.... Not mention that all of the promises buffs were actualy replaced with nerfs..
    Srsly, NBs didnt recieved a single buff since start of the game. Just few fixes which didnt affect anything.

    Fun facts,

    Lava Whip can also get sneak attack bonus... As does Puncturing strikes and its morph, and Searing strike and said morphs.

    so DK has 2 abilitys native to them that get sneak attack bonuses that are not ultimates... and templar has 1 skill and 1 ultimate native to them that get sneak attack bonuses..

    the only class that doesnt have skills that get the sneak attack bonus is Sorcerer.

    No, Nightblade fixes will be when Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild come out so that they can convince players to reroll for flavour of the month.
