Its 100% worth it for aoe, the sustainability is unreal. Its also very good for crushing shock dps, you just have to substitute the spelldamage/weapondamage loss for unlimited resources
definitely should be buffed.
IMO, they should change it into a true siphon/leech attack, something that actually reduces your target's magicka and stamina and gives the value to you. Would make disabling opponents in pvp, especially blockers, an option.
I agree. Siphoning attacks is one of the best skills for NB.IxSTALKERxI wrote: »This ability hasn't left my bar in 8 months, except for dueling (which I rarely do). It is the only reason I still play a nightblade.

I play a DW/Bow stamina build in full medium armor and it hasn't been on my bar in 8 months. What build are you using that makes it so indispensable?

Can't speak for Mojar, but I play shield/resto NB in full light armor and Siphoning hasn't left my bar ever. Siphoning is necessary to sustain resources while spamming sap essence. It is especially important for sustaining stamina when block-casting, because you'll be under attack the whole time while spamming sap essence.Rescorla_ESO wrote: »IxSTALKERxI wrote: »This ability hasn't left my bar in 8 months, except for dueling (which I rarely do).

Haven't played much on 1.6, but it looks like this skill will leave my bar in 1.6.
