Nightblades are adventurers and opportunists with a gift for getting in and out of trouble. Relying variously on stealth, blades and speed, Nightblades thrive on conflict and misfortune, trusting to their luck and cunning to survive.

    Oh, I see what you did there.

    I've been playing a dual-wield/bow Nightblade since Early Access (remember that time when everyone claimed they were too broken to play?), and I rely on stealth tactics. So either I'm a genius, or you need to learn how to play a stealth-based Nightblade well.

    Once I put my NB in Medium Armor and leveraged the Stealth, it has become my favorite character.

    If only he did not scream before the Veiled Strike it would be perfect.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Let me explain: Getting in trouble no problem. Getting out 50% of the time is since cloak is still crap and not a reliable escape possibility. Stealth also crap coz somehow it takes ages sometimes to get back into it or i keep popping out of stealth for no reason. Weapon swapping in stealth dont work. (This is when PVP not PVE)

    Ive been playing dw/bow since early acces to. But I still think the game description is wrong

    Dont get me wrong i love to play stealthy but it should be more reliable for NB

    So you decided to apply your ample wit to it?

    I haven't experienced any problems with getting in to stealth when I'm not taking damage. And stealth has always taken a bit of time to settle in to in the Elder Scrolls games. It's why stealth and invisibility are different qualities.

    I shouldve noticed that im talking about PVP I think. in PVE stealth is fine indeed

    You must be very lucky to avoid all of the *** surrounding cloak and stealth. Congratulations.

    For the rest of us the experience has been a bit different. Stuck in combat bugs, weapon swapping bugs, projectile bugs, etc. This is not a matter of skill. It's a matter of skills and abilities being broken. Considering ZOS has admitted to these bugs, I don't really see how there can be any other side to this conversation. Stealth and cloak are still broken. That is not an opinion, it is a fact confirmed by ZOS.

    Every time I pop a detect-invis potion and immediately Shield Assault that NB who just cloaked away, I wonder if they are cursing Cloak for being broken or not.

    I mean I know that it breaks a lot for no reason, but unless I use those potions NBs usually get away from me when they cloak unless they are dotted or something (I don't run Mage's Light in Cyrodiil).

    And getting stuck in combat or detected for no reason happens to everyone, not just nightblades. It is incredibly annoying though.
