actually nightblades kill me more then any other class as a sorcerer.

When everyone follows this advice, what a great time we will have with all the siege and without 90% of the healers.

EDIT: of course, who needs advice, if they really nerf BOL?

To new players who want to PvP. Ignore the OP, he has no clue what he is talking about. Useless thread.

* First of all, you're going to want to roll an Argonian; they're the closest thing we have to boats atm

* You'll need iceball trebs to snare the enemy Argonians swimming away with your scrolls

* Argonian Nightblades still cannot cloak in water, but this is working as intended

* There is a dye station at one of your gates

* You cannot use transit shrines to port into enemy keeps, nor to port letters to your family in Black Marsh

* Deconstructing a greatsword will not result in two smaller swords

* You cannot pickpocket scrolls from your faction's Grand Warlord, no matter your Legerdemain rank

* Remember to use the wayshrine when you get upset at someone

You should come out of stealth sometime.

Really? Even when fighting and 1 decides to just start plunking you from stealth with snipes? Or just spamming snipes from range to add to whatever else you are taking in?

I would if my class had a damage shield, self heal, or nuke ability

... like all other classes

All the classes are extremely powerful though....

Hey I am a noob argonian nightblade, and in my last 3 days in PvP, I have gotten close to 60 kills. Most of these kills are not from siege and I am a complete solo player.

So I saw a level 28 NB a few days back in Cyrodiil that had 32,000 health, how is this possible?

That wasn't me, I just hit level 20 last night, but maybe they had all of their attribute points in health, or it was an alt and they had access to the champion was from another character.

Why are people hating on Nightblades? The vast majority of my deaths are from Nightblades. I've even been two-shot by them. In fact I've grown to fear Nightblades. For that very reason I've made my next alt a Nightblade.

Conversely, why is everyone always talking about how great DK is? I play a (stamina) DK, I don't see what's so great about it. Maybe Magicka DK is far superior, but I can't "spam heals" or anything like that. I also rarely ever see other DK's, it's always Templars or Sorcs.

*Rage at each other in zone chat while the enemy takes all of your alliance's stuff

*Try to be rambo and ignore teamwork

* be killed by siege constantly, then come on the forums and call siege OP

*attempt to use the broken stealth system and rage quit your stealth based NB after you realize it will not work

*Get some moon sugar, make skooma, and go to a private facility and make use of it

bullets 1-3 do not do:) bullet 4..... depends. bullet 5 is just for fun.

Bullet 4: Exactly where I am today. Explain how my VR12 NB. 25k health, 2k weapon damage, 20k resistance, full legendary gear with legendary enchants (unresistable damage on daggers) can hit someone from stealth with supposed 100% crit (63% crit out of stealth), barely do any damage, and get destroyed in 3 hits? How is that possible? An assassin build nightblade should be able to come up behind you, and if you dont notice he's there, kill you and move on before anyone even realizes what happened! But no, we want everything "balanced"... we want rangers that can kill in 2 hits and DKs that can literally stand in a mob of people, getting pounded without dying... and nightblades that hit like wet noodles and then crumple like old newspaper, you know, "balanced"...
