I noticed the last couple of days that if I get hit by Venom Arrow (VA) from one of those NBs who spam VA and use no other ability, that I can't even use instants.

VA should stun me for 3 sec and put me into 'off balance' status, IF it interrupts me WHILE using an ability with cast time. But I don't use abilities with cast time against NBs because of their abusive us of VA.

So if I don't use abilities with cast time and therefore VA can't interrupt me, why does it prevent me from using instant abilities like Bolt Escape? And I lay emphesis on the fact that I am neither stunned nor being silenced by any ability else! I can move freely, but cant use any ability while the VA spamming NB is killing me. 'Stun break' is not working in this case because I am not stunned.

With that problem and NB stuns from melee attacks often not being breakable, it has become very annoying to fight NBs.

Never heard of this venom arrow spam. But tbh, targeting nightblades because of a bug with a bow ability is real unfair. Many nightblades don't even use bows or melee.

Hell I even play a nightblade who uses a bow and I don't even use venom arrow, which may contribute to why I've never heard of this. But it has never happened to me as far as I can tell.

This problem you have with venom arrow and whatever bug there may be, it is with the bow tree and users of venom arrow alone. Not nightblades. Not all bow users. Try to be a little less general so innocent folk like me don't get targeted for no reason.

Furthermore, your mention of 'NB stuns from melee attacks often not being breakable' is again not an issue that is even remotely restricted to nightblades. The unbreakable cc's have been an issue for awhile, and just about any class can use it, either exploiting purposefully or using unwittingly.

Unbreakable cc's are a bug that as far as I can tell occur when multiple different types of cc's are used at once. Notably roots+stuns are the main culprits, the most notable combination to produce this is from DKs with talons+invasion. I've heard templars can also consistently produce the effect, possibly with something like javelin+toppling charge.

Regardless, neither of these effects are really specific to nightblade, so I think your post could be narrowed down a whole bunch to merely detailing a perceived incident(s) with venom arrow behaving incorrectly. No mention of class is needed to achieve this.

(Sorry for typing so much, just had to clarify.)

Cheers.

(far too much words to 'not only NBs use bow as weapon)

Do you have to much time in your life? Why use 7 paragraphs where 7 words would have sufficed to clear that up? Are you a politician? Or a marketing expert?

Also, since you ask, I'm a philosophy major. Does that answer both your questions?

Actually it does.

I use venom arrow at least once or twice each fight, and I actually don't stun people very much with it:/. lol. idk whats causing this, hopefully I don't unwittingly use it too much.
