Nightblade is broken in its core and needs some serious changes, not only by "fixing" some passives.
The melee rogue archetype is not viable at all and needs alot of love.

*Class skill dmg needs to be buffed, ALOT (not only skills that noone use, ALL of them)

*On every parser done by hardcore guilds, NB dmg is way behind Sorc, DK and even Templar. Their the lowest on AoE AND ST.

*After the initial Suprise/Concealed attack, DPS drops like a stone, and it gets worse the longer the fight goes on.

*Class skills makes no sense. Fear in ASSASSIN line? Summon pets?

*EVERY spec involves having Leeching equiped, so were gimped 22% dmg from the getgo, thats just...absurd.
What other class needs to lower their dps, to do dps?
NB resourcemanagement is SO bad, class skills got to be lowered severly in cost.

*To do the most damage, you basicly have to use as little Nightblade skills as possible.
The only skills you should keep on, are skills that buffs your dmg or resourcemanagement. Thats how weak the actual skills are.

* ST skills (most NB skills) should do ATLEAST 2x the dmg of a AoE skill, which currently, is not nearly the case. Other classes can spam AoE skills that do more dmg per target to multiple targets.
They should maybe even do 3x-4x the dmg.

*Stealthing in PvP is useless. Everyone and their dogs are spamming AoE in PvP, which instantly breaks Stealth.
Everyone also use magelight.
1. NB as the rogueclass should have passives to counter magelight.
2. NB as the rogueclass shouldnt have movement penalties in hidden state.
Its almost impossible to get into melee range in hidden state, and we shouldnt be forced to equip an armor set to negate it.

    yes 2018 and still bad, all magicka 1 shot my NB.
    History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.

    Magblades need buffed in pvp, there’s literally no reason to choose 1 over the other classes

    And invis is about 50/50 can be the best defense or absolutely useless, especially in lag
