I'm not here on the forums complaining about it though. NBs hit like trucks.
Your telling me your complaining because an ultimate did as much damage as your ranged, super-cheap instacast CC nuke?
Sorc mentality, ladies and gentlemen.
Stamina NB, the ultimate doesn't care about your spell resistance.
You got like 8k armor (?) what did you expect?
Since it deals >14k dmg it's probably buffed with Ambush and cloak (as Khajiit or Bosmer for 10% dmg boost)
Also if canceled with bash it's added together in your recap (I think :P)
Now show us your spammable range ultimate which deals the same amount of dmg.
It's reflectable but just use it out of stealth like NBs need to do?
I really hate this kind of threads.. Mimimimimi everywhere.
The only thing that would change for me is that I can't stack my heal with my shield, wich wouldn't make much sense.
I am certainly not an easy Sorc to kill but I am certainly not "never able to die" either.
Most Sorcs, except a very few who indeed are indeed "tanking", with heavy armor and shield (and I am speaking of a minority of the heavy armor Sorcs here) are very squishy if there are just 2 enemies beating on them.
Obviously a good Sorc will try to not let them hit him to often in the first place, wich hasn't changed since launch.

Very true with out shields LA uses are squishy but that's the point and the point of a huge magical boost LA gives you give up the protection. Cause what does a HA armor get for giving up magical or stamina boost? A boost to health which really doesn't do much when players are doing massive DPS.
Normaly when a player wears light armor there normaly on the back line casting range spell attacks supporting those who are infront protecting them. But with how shields are they can be on the front lines with LA still not dieing out lasting HA users with shields. Like i am not saying stay on the back line but if you're gonna be on the front line try a battle mage set up mixing heavy and light armor you know mix it up instead of cookie cutter builds depending heavyly on shield stacking giving all sorc a bad name when it's just those ones abusing a clearly broken skill.
Ahh didn't know Soul Harvest does magick damage to armor, good to know, but I had 14-16K armor when he was doing this to me not 8K. Not really my point. A NB can hit this *every* time and I can't mitigate or prevent it. This guy was doing this to us all night. Point is, if you're a nightblade and complaining about Sorcs and damage shields you're just not playing your class very well. I killed this guy as much as he killed me but it cost me about 40 detect pots on the night and without them I couldn't have done a thing to kill him. I'm fine with that too.
I'd just love to know what you Nerf Sorc banwagoner Nightblades think a fair place for sorcs should be? I'm running 5 V14 Legendary light armor, 2 VR14 legendary heavy pieces(chest + boots) and a V14 Legendary shield, plus most the time I'm in lightning form giving me another 6K armor. Nightblades who are actually skilled kill me all the time and yet you guys want to nerf us further. I've fought many skilled NB to a standstill for a good 10 minutes, they can't kill me and I can't kill them.
Where does that leave the non-hardcore perfectly geared and unskilled sorc? Just NB AP Pinata I guess.
I'm not complaining about Nightblades or trying to get them nerfed though. (Although the fear when dodge rolling bug needs fixed). I'm fine with people who are skilled killing me when I make a single mistake or am not prepared for them. That's how it should be. The classes are balanced at top end of the game. The real issue is all the people who are still trying to make bad builds/playstyles work against skilled opponents and those who aren't very skilled are complaining as they've done since the launch of this game. Tamriel Unlimited has brought back a lot of those players and it's going to take months until they are brought up to par if they ever are.

Can't speak for the bandwagoner NBs, but when the magicka based sorc is not noticably better than the other magicka based classes, then that IMHO is a "fair place" for them to be in. I will agree with the argument that a stamina-based sorc is probably the worst of the 8 possible class-attribute combinations, but that is an issue specific with the lack of synergy between the class and stamina. And I don't see how if stamina sorcs suck then that is somehow OK for magicka sorcs to above and beyond their magicka based peers.
Nightblade mentality, ladies and gentlemen. They read as well as they play.
Yeah cause that is not a complaint or anything.This guy was insta-gibbing me and my group
NBs hit like trucks.
So let me get this straight. You think Magicka Sorcs need nerfed because they're better than Magicka NBs? Forget how they stack up against stamina builds but you're seriously concerned about how the Magicka class's magicka build stacks up against the Stamina class's magick build? Tell me I'm misunderstanding this...
NBs are more overpowered than Sorc, thanks.

No. I think Magicka Sorcs are noticably better than the other magicka based classes. My exact words.
Magicka Vs. stamina is another topic entirely and that inequality should not be used as a reason why magicka based sorcs should enjoy their lofty status above other magicka based classes.
Actually it isn't, which is exactly why I said in the text you removed that I wasn't complaining just to clarify it for those of you in Rio Linda.
Perhaps I should have said something like "this guy was tickling me and my group to death" or "Dying to a NB is like being run over by a Smart Car?"
So by your same logic you think Nightblades deserve to be nerfed since they are noticably better than other stamina based classes?
The point is you don't balance classes against specific categories. Templar are the other chief magicka class and they are just relatively weak compared to everyone. Magicka nightblades are not bad by any stretch but their skills just don't synergize with the class as well as stamina does but it still does far more so than the terrible Stamina sorc.
Not really. Every class has access to WB and dodge roll. Only one class has access to Crystal Frags and Bolt Escape.
Just to clear that up, this troll was whining in Arena, too, just wants his NB OP and all others nerfed...
Thank you for that illuminating piece of logic captain obvious. Are there any other earth shattering revelations you have in mind? Perhaps a point?

My point is obvious lol. All stam classes can be competitive with WB and dodge roll. To make magika work successfully, Bolt Escape is essential and overpowered nukes like Crystal Frag widen the gap between classes even more. Other classes don't get a built in nuke and have no ways of escaping easily.
I give up. There is no reasoning with these...people.

All you ever do is go off topic when you lose an argumenet. You know Sorcs are what they are and yet you continue to act as if their balanced just for your own sake. Jesus dude stop thinking of yourself for 10 seconds. Even if Shield Stacking gets nerfed and scales off health (which is should!), Sorcs are still going to be the best PvP class by far. No amount of nerfs are going to take Sorcs off their pedistal. Being a long ranged nuker with more mobility then every other class means they are going to be the most suited for PvP regardless.

You would give it just for 10 minutes and then you will cry for it. This is the only skill that makes Sorc so OP. Fix this skill and everything will be fine. If you cannot escape with bolt escape that means you will stay in range and you will be CC every 6 seconds if you dont use CC potions. That means you have to put some points in stamina and not stacking only magica. Then your shields wont be strong and your dps will suck.
I would give BoL for a good selfheal or a dps skill. ^^ (dps not burst!)
Considering nobody can make a counterargument to anything... even the main points of this post in the first place.
1. Sorcs have no inherint weakness, while other classes have obvious ones. Other classes lack either sustainability, an escape, or mobility, but Sorcs have all of this.
2. By building straight magika Sorcs get sustainability, damage, and mobility. Other classes have to manage which stats they put in where. This means that the removal of softcaps put Sorcs way over the edge just cause they can stack magika as high as they want.
3. Sorcs are by far the best magika class and the disbalance of Sorcs is preventing other magika classes from getting fixed. For example, Nirn shouldn't be as powerful as it is, but if it wasn't, Sorcs would be even more OP.
Do you admit this true? Cause when you just post random, off-topic batman memes and dodge the subject, it makes it look like it. How about actually making a thought out, educated post Sorcs? Is it because you know that it is all correct and you chose to dodge the topic?
