Will you quit or delay playing because of templar and nightblade balance?

    I will continue to play but agree that templar and nightblade classes are under-powered and not equally desired end-game.
    I don't know who are class lead designers, but sure Sorc and DK have big mouths to defend themselves... Templar is such a BS...

    Templars and nightblades are fine. My main is a templar or nightblade.
    Voted wrong, should have picked option #2.

    I am a nightblade and only had to respec once to my journey to vet 12.
    When I reached veteran rank 8, I went from an archer build to a tank build because I find DPS quite boring after a while.

    I didn't have problems leveling up till then. Was I using a cookie cutter FOTM build? I wouldn't know since I theorycrafted that build myself.

    Did I have problems fighting 3-4 mobs? Yes, easy solution is to dps one down fast and then run away to reset them or kite.
    Was I able to finish the quests without help from others? Yes
    Do I think that nightblades and templars deserve a buff? Absolutely.

    Destruction Staff impulse spamming should be nerfed more to the ground than what it is. Seeing a player (Usually a DK or Sorcerer) jump into a pack of 4 mobs and killing them within 10 seconds without losing much health is not balanced. You can't replicate the same thing with any other weapon.
    Shield users will be able to take out that pack but it's gonna take a long time.
    Bow users will not be able to do it.
    Dual wielders will most likely die before they manage to kill all.

    So why are destruction staff the special snowflake? Looking at Light Armor bonuses compared to Medium/Heavy armor makes the two latter types a joke.

    Balance Medium Armor/Heavy Armor to be competetive against Light Armor.
    You shouldn't be able to block any attacks when using Impulse and increase mana cost further or decrease the damage.

    Templars are fine just lost an OP crap. They used to that BS now they QQ that they lost it. just like lolbash spammers. NB right. its bugged but still fun imo.

    I will continue to play because I regard adversity as a challenge. I don't like having things handed to me on a silver platter. If my class is gimped I will still play it and not whinge and throw my toys out of the crib, I will try and make the best of it and be successful regardless.
