Sick of dying because skills don't work

glitchmaster999

I have been trying to remain calm and make the best of a crappy class.... I have tried literally every skill and when I find a combo that works... I die because the skill breaks, I actually just ragequit the game because a stupid solo dungeon boss for some stupid reason, is sometimes affected by aspect of terror and sometimes not, sometimes interupted by poison arrow and sometimes not.....

Patch 1.2 is just a crappy kick in the teeth to nightblades as long as they aren't using a stick and aren't a blue bar. Lets go through the history of abilities that I have tried to make work on a stamina build.

- I used assasins blade, bugged out and didn't cast half the time
- I use ambush, bugs out and doesn't attack half the time
- haven't tried blur and never will
- I used haste, doesn't make any difference in damage on bows or dual weild
- I use shadow cloak, will randomly get me out of it for no reason
- I use aspect of terror, its great, but it doesn't work 20% of the time
- I do a two hander sneak attack build, it sometimes just stuns and doesn't do the sneak attack damage
- I use summon shade, it doesn't do anything, doesn't even take aggro anymore.....

I had faith but 2 months in, I lost it....

I'm a Templar not a Nightlbade. But I just want to let you know you aren't the only class that is having issues like this since that patch.

I die on a daily basis now because my abilities stop working.

I've been posting everywhere I find this topic. It's everything I have to not throw my controller each time I mash my cloak button in combat and don't cloak, then die.

i know the other classes have probs......... but i would like to say that every time i was on my nightblade , things just felt more broke , and very unresponsive, i feel i got more crashes when on nightblade as well.

maybe its in the code!

Kind of get what your saying here, I'm a true weapon based DPS. But I have reset all stats and had a go at a mage pyro... I'm a DK . some aoes don't fire up when I hit the button and I'm missing a lot of the visuals when I click up buffs. I'm going back to weapon based because there is way to much animation on a magic based character.

ive had a couple times i did a sneak ambush and it did 0 damage to them but it did stun them for 2 secs. ive had shadowy disguise break early a few times. ive had sneak not work ALOT of times, im just sitting there waiting for the little eye to say hidden instead of detected and im just like "OMG rock! stop looking at me for I can be hidden!!"

i also dislike when a NPC rouge/nightblade does that flippy attack that lands them behind you but you do an attack that hits them while they are mid animation and instead of them being where they show they landed they are actually where they started their flippy crap skill so you are swinging at nothing until they finally glitch back and you can finally kill them since you know where they are now.

I play a NB and what I can tell u is most of those skills suck to begin with or are super situational. Assassins blade,surprise attack,merciless resolve,veil of blades,quick cloak. Reapers mark and sap essence are the good ones

Since you are not good enough for a NB maybe you should reroll to a necromancer.

Wow someone dug this topic up from June 2014? Patch 1.2?

Funny is some of the things mentioned are still broken, more than a year later...

Thank you for the laugh.

Wow, this thread is:
1 - really old
and
2 - not very relevant, because it is really old

I was having issues with boss fights and multiple enemies with a few of the skills I had chosen. I ended up just resetting my skills and choosing something else. It still isnt perfect but I am a lot more successful than I was.

I have heard on Elder Scrolls Off The Record (ESOTR) that some of these skills get really hardcore after a few morphs so I am trying to be patient.
