✭Mark is like shieldbreaker. If you really hate NBs so much that you waste 1 skill slot for the visibility-mark, oh boy you must really hate them. It's countering only 1(!!!!) out of 5 classes. Yet you waste a skill point for it, hoho.
Same as if you would equip shieldbreaker for the sake of sorcs. You must really be filled with hate, eh.
Detect pots sucks, yeah, but they're a viable counter at least. It's got more uses than just Xv1-ing. Invisibility deserves counters. Detection potions should be one of them. (Remember that not only nightblades can sneak. You have any idea how many people that's sneaking around in PvP constantly? Killing them feels rewarding af).
As much as I feel your pain, I rather just feel sorry for the zerglings who feel like they have to waste a 5pc set or a skill slot to counter one type of class only. :^Ignorance is the greatest weapon of tyranny.

Mark is useful against every target though - if you´re not a stamblade with suprise attack.
Every other nb spec still gets major breach/fracture.<Noricum>

pogopwns_ESO✭✭✭the point isn't that NB uses it, it's that if you are with a zerg or even just a 5-10 man group, marking 1 single NB is kind of a *** move. Not that I won't kill your whole 5-10 man group if you don't mark me, because I will. but still. it's weak ***. cloak is the only thing a stamblade has really. we have like 10k resists, rally and vigor. cloak keeps us alive when being chased by 20 bads, don't mark, it's super rude lol1

pogopwns_ESO✭✭✭@FakeFox not every stamblade is a gank build, some are into 1vX. The salt is mined from people being so bad that 8 people cant kill 1 dude without marking him. otherwise I'll slay you and all your homies. pack you tf up boy lol1

ah right. Still not cool to Xv1 mark a solo player imo. solo v solo? mark me. ur getting packed up anyway. but not when ur rolling 8+ deep and can't kill one dude before he reks ur whole group. then ur just bad.0 -

Not even close.
When you get cursed as a Sorc, just make sure your shield is up. When you get marked as a NB it really just means cloak is wasted resources aside from whatever passive you get from it, but it's not even as cut and dry as that.
In terms of a random open world 1v1 between two stamblades one mark likely won't decide a victor. The nb that runs mark in the current meta tends to be weaker than the nb that doesn't, hence why they feel the need to slot mark. The only times this generalization changes is when one of the nightblades is magicka, then the advantage lies heavily on the magicka side. Or when the marking stamnb is building for the situation ahead of time.
In Xv1 situations like what OP described, mark is only as effective as the nb casting it. You can still cloak from the majority of X, what will kill you is the nb gap close spamming you to keep you out of cloak. If you're around LOS it can often times be very easy to deal with mark, because you can stay away from the nb marking you easier. If you're in an open field you're likely going to die.
In many situations a well timed mage light will be worse than mark, because it prevents the use of cloak in general. Not to mention that the nb that marks you will likely follow you around LOS more aggressively and be easier to kill.
But yeah what are you gonna do, Xv1 is the name of the game.The Age of Wrobel.0 -

Cloak has too many counters and detect pots exist, Mark isn't needed(plus I run the other morph when I bomb for that sweet major berserk), elemental drain is flat out better and removes the need to run witchmother's for sustain allowing you to have 15k stam AND run leeching, plus it activates your 8% single target damage bonus on inferno bar without needing flame reach or destro ulti, or in other words running ele drain instead of mark allows me to have ridiculously good stamina sustain to go along with my unlimited magika sustain, an 8% damage boost and a skill slot freed up to run fear instead of a single target CC.Edited by Lexxypwns on 11 September 2017 20:530 -

You all need to know during a 1vx situation the nb is the biggest threat. Even in group fights. In every fight I get in the nb has to go first so yeah I'm going to mark every nb I see. I ain't playing the attack dodge roll cloak game. Sorry fellas your getting marked.Smiff2

Barbaran✭✭✭✭detec pots necissary, you act as if cloaking is perfectly ok.
i hear ambush and im hit and stunned, i recover amd fight back.
the nightblade gets to 50% and cloaks away while i can do nothing but stand and wait for his next attack after he has healed.
rinse and repeat the last few sentences until the nighblade gives up or one of us dies... super annoying.
at least with a detec pot hes forced to actually fight, or run around a tree for 15 secs.
they usually run when they cant cloak.2 -
