( A Nightblades inner feelings )
We are Nightblades. We are Shadows
If you attack us, Dark Cloak will break
If you strike us, Mirage will fail
If you injure us, We have no heals.
If you anger us, we will QQ
If you run from us, maybe agony will work
We will be nerfed. you will be buffed.
We are Nightblades. We are shadows

    Pretty much. And the sad part is, from what I've seen so far, they are going to wait AFTER spell crafting for another major balance run. So Christmas and possibly later...

    My god the constant qq of NB is incredible. The class is in a really good place right now. Its the most or second most popular class in pvp. Light armor and Medium armor builds with staves, bows, dw or even 1/shield works really good. In pve are excellent tanks healers and dps, maybe not the BEST in one particular aspect, but pbly second in all of them and never last. To finish, NB has the highest burst by far in the game. DK healers are the worst, dps Templars are the worst, pbly Sorc tanks are the worst, NB is good in all. You ill never hear "LF dps for trials... all except NB", even more, one of the strongest clases for gank build and stamina builds for pvp is the NB, by far. And dont let me start talking about passives and your ultimates... myself as a templar i only wish to get ultis like the ones NB has.

    You have some bugs, and still, its one of the strongest clases in all aspects of the game, stop crying damn it. You are so annoying to the point of irritation. Complain about new bugs its fine, but stop complain about the same thing over and over again, things will get fixed, the amount you cry about it will not change how fast they get fixed.

    Go to youtube and u ill find a lot of ppl rocking the *** out of pve and pvp with NBs. If you suck, learn, but dont blame the game for your own lack of skill.

    1V1? Sure. 1vX? We are dead last. Show me a vid of a NB doing what a DK or Templar can do (See Xsorus, Lfehova or Sypher) and vs vr14s not lowbies. I haven't seen any. Mostly ganking videos. Which, to me at least, is useless.

    PvE is a whole different matter.

    Apparently shadow cloak and stealth are broken... again.

    I need to go check, but can't at the moment.

    EDIT: ooooh, wait, you're a dragon knight. Right, wrong definition of "really good", mybad.

    Did you see Sypher's demo vid of 1vX Nightblade?
    He did this after 3 days of learning the class. He working on learning the class more, maybe then we will see him do stuff like with his DK.

    And, I'm a Nightblade, and I have done 1vX. Stop your qq.

    What? I clearly said my main was a templar... what? In fact, i have a vr14 templar, vr14 dk, vr11 sorc and a vr10 nb. I kinda know the classes a bit, enough to talk with some knowledge. Anyway... what?

    I'm checking the shadow cloak thing right now. Can't I sarcasm at people in peace occasionally? :p

    PS: You probably aren't even a Nightblade.
    Emmmm have you seen a Templar or DKs doing like 3k dmg in 1.5s? mmm Why my templar cant insta kill any vr14 player with 40% hp? Why my templar cant burst like a NB?... Are you serious? Really... im going to waste time here trying to explain you basic stuff... but well here it goes:

    Every class has its unique strengths and weaknesses, as i as a templar dont expect to burst ppl in a second, you as a NB shouldn't expect to be able to survive as much as a dk or a templar at least not troughing you in the center of the enemy zerg. NB and Sorcs rely on movement teleport/stealth mechanics to survive. Its a different play style. But you CAN 1vX. In fact to be honest, nobody can 1vX and win against same lvl and same skill lvl enemies. Most 1vX you see is against noobs, really. The only class right now that can actually win a versus 4-5 decent players is a DK. Though this happens because dk has some OP skills that ZOS already said they are trying to balance, for example, dragon scale (the dragon wings that makes DK 100% immune to ranged attacks... just ridiculous). So its more of a balance issue with some key skills. But to summ up, you cant expect to play as a paladin type class with a sneaky bursty class, even if you can actually survive a lot, but the way NB do it is different from dks and templars, you SHOULD know this by now... i mean... if you are a NB and you are here complaining... i assume you actually know a bit about your class... but maybe im asking to much :D

    And i repeat, most 1vX you see that actually win, its because they fight against bad players or are circumstantial fights. I been in fights where some good dks were fighting 3-4 guys and rocking them, and with simple smart use of skills and timing i went and break his rotation in few seconds. All depends on timing, to really summarize it... burn their stamina, stun and burst it down. Ofc this is easier to say than to do... but well thats another topic.

    Yes.

    Actually, the high burst of NB is mainly the use of stealth and crits. Any class can use stealth attacks.

    Ergo, ganking. Which is fun but useless.

    I'm not disagreeing with the quoted text, btw.

    About the sypher vid, going to check it out when i'm home ( on mobile currently) but i have a faint idea of what he's doing.

    Yea, @Araxleon, there are a ton of bugs. And only empty promises on fixes. I've made do, and I do OK (1vX and all). But I don't think it is as bad as some make it seem.

    I think the devs do indeed hate NBs.

    To me, one of the most shocking thing they did was the nerf to siphoning strikes's return value from 4% to 3%, which basically ruined NB healers. The only possible reason for this was that Templar healers whining how NB healers were "too good" in magicka regen (basically a "lol" considering that people will only ask for temp healers nowadays even for vet dungeons). And on top of that, they adopted the longstanding bug that leeching strikes only returned 2% health as an intended feature.

    (Even with the recent screw-ups on the cloak, many of us will never forget the wholly unjustified nerf to siphoning strikes).

    Fun fact - Siphoning attacks has a internal cooldown...which makes it even worse.

    I think other than broken skills, the main issue with the nightblade is 0 synergies.
    Take for example the DK and look at what skills synergize with passives/racials.
    Then look at the Nightblade.
