Nighblade gets nerfs Sorcerers get buffs

Edit: unless of course you are dumb enough to try a stamina/leather build in which case you will never have enough stamina to dodge roll away.

This is simply not true. My NB wears 7xmedium armour and this patch makes a huge difference to my stamina pool. 30% permanent stamina regeneration and 14% less stamina costs. If that's not a buff I don't know what is. I added Shuffle to my skill line and it helps quite a bit with sorc, templar and DK stuns. I can honestly say that after this patch my NB has considerably more survivability in PvP. If you really think leather armor sucks you just don't know how to use it.

I wouldn't say nerfed, but whoever they are listening to clearly have a problem with siphoning strikes.

Anyway, I don't see nb going to the same level as dk any time soon (probably never). I wish I could talk to the person responsible for balance for 10 minutes. I really would like to see how he/she justifies that mess with spell crit x weapon crit, nerfing resource management skills and not buffing skills that are really used.

Sorc is by far the best PvE class, maybe second best in PvP and best in certain PvP scenarios. Why not buff the crap out of them?

Touche. They are the best in PvP btw, 90% of my deaths are from them spamming the ability that got buffed this patch.

I usually get it from multiple sorcs spamming mages fury morphs inevitably leading to a disintegrate....

Crystal shard spam could certainly be annoying too.

Cystal Shard = /= Crystal Fragment = /= Crystal Blast

You are being hit by Crystal Fragment, which has received no buffs in this update.

Don`t bother they stopped reading at Crystal...

DK can do 1500DPS from DOTs only... show me that.

And that guy have lots of heavy armor on him

- dunno if a helm qualifies as "lots of heavy armor" - he probably needed that one piece for set bonus, as having 8 traits on enough pieces is impossible right now, unless you trade with a few other people)
- he had TONS of spell crit (55-60% from the looks of it)
- he was abusing animation canceling
- his main damage was Scalding rune, which is NOT A DK ABILITY
- his magicka regen came from beefed up Magicka potion (by alchemy - regenerated about 60% or more of his magicka pool) - again, not DK specific. he apparently had Spell Symmetry on bars just for passive, because I haven't seen him use it even once. It seemed he was at 100% HP WHOLE time, though I'm not sure how Spell Symmetry behaves if you have shield on you, does it suck THAT first?

- the only DK abilities he was using were Searing Strike and Engulfing flames (as if no other class had DoTs..)

What exactly makes people hate DKs? Go hate animation canceling exploit and mages guild. Any caster can do the same. DK may have a bit better DoT in the form of Searing Strike, but that's justified by having to watch it closely so you won't refresh it too early, else you miss the damage boost.

Agreed, DK aren't that powerful, I think its because of Banner and Talons in AvA that people somehow think its so powerful when it's not, it's so easy to dodge roll out of.

Killing from a distance people don't notice (or care to) even with the death recap so I am seeing a pattern of its all about perception.

Also, heavy armor still contributes to dps via Juggernaut.

You obviously don't know much, so i'll make it easier for you. Juggernaut affects ONLY melee attacks.

I know very well what it affects and if you were perceptive you would see he was using melee attacks quite a bit.
