    Most people run around with 20k hp in Cyrodiil. New sets will come, cp cap will be increased this is only gonna get worse. Ambush + Surprise attack can be done in less than 1 second. 10k each and ive seen people hit harder. All this with 50% dmg reduction. Even if you survive that all it takes to kill you is fear + ult and you're good to go. So, any plans to nerf this class or you want to keep the easy mode in this game's pvp? I should just leave this game I don't have the time to lvl up a NB and laugh at everyone in pvp. This is not balance this is stupidity.

    And please if all you want to do here is ''l2p scrub'' save your words. This class is taking away all the fun I had in this game. I wanna run around solo? get ambushed to death by 3 nb gankers. Wanna farm sewers? As soon as im low in health 3 nbs come to execute me, they fail? No problem just dissapear and wait until im low in health again.

    I have already stop playing this game. I advice you to do the same.

    Got insta gibbed last night be a ganker a few times, I actually beat him several times whenever I saw him and it was a n0rmaly fight, but when he was ganking I had no chance.

    My death recap waa

    8k Prox Det
    6k lotus fan
    8k concealed weapon
    8k soul harvest.

    This is with 31k spell resistance, 24k physical resist buffed.

    Literially dead within a second, no chance to even break free of the initial stun.

    This needs balancing.

    Why?

    You admit you beat him in a stand up fight, but lost to the gank. It's situationally balanced. You win some, you lose some. You don't come crying foul because you lose some.

    Because it's essentially saying that I a 'good ' pvp player can lose to an extemely low skilled player because they just use 3 button presses from stealth, literially the lowest morons could do that.

    Infact that's what annoys me the most, is that these unskilled idiots can press 3 buttons, instantly win against anyone, and they abuse it, everytime you leave the base in sewers the same few people are there griefing others, they have no risk of losing tel var, they have zero skill (as said everytime I've actually seen them in cyro they get their ass kicked by anyone) but ganking and harassing is fine and what makes pvp balanced yeah?

    Really the damage reduction should have hot 50% and they shouldn't have increase to vr16 gear, if this 50% was back when vr14 was cap we wouldn't have these issues.

    The biggest problem i see is defensive is pointless in pvp, everything is burst burst burst, which only 2 classes have

    Seriously this game doesn't need any more nerfs alright? Nerfs are dumbing the game down. Also, what you're describing is called Animation Cancelling (AC). All those 2-4 attacks done in a period of less than a second or so is what's broken and needs fixing as people can macro the :snip: out of AC to make it more 'efficient'. NBs are fine as they are.
    I, however, do admit that I use AC in order to be competitive in PvP. People who use macro though are just incompetent little brats and I don't condone the use of macros.

    What this game needs right now are buffs. Buff DK and temps as well as Doshia (Okay maybe not Doshia but I miss fighting pre-nerf Doshia). Stop all this nerf nonsense. Please. L2P.

    This is not an issue, at least for me. Im not talking about the other attacks you see in the recap. Just the ambush + SA combo that hits for 20k. That's absurd. You don't even need to animation cancel to get 20k dmg in a second with a NB.

    You know 20kHP in Cyrodiil is kind of low, maybe that's your problem, most people I encounter have over 30k HP in cyrodiil, I came across several people with 40k health and 1 time I came across a guy with 58k health although Im sure he was an emporer.

    Battle spirit could have worked, if we had 50% reduction and stayed at the vr14 power cap, with the bigger nerf to healing, and more importantly the fact that people can run around with 50% odd penetration for both spell and armor resist, there is no defence (other than shield stacking)

    So really this is

    ik you say you don't have the time to create one but I say casually make one play it so you can see the weaknesses first hand and build your main to counter that play style. could it take a while yes but if you do it slowly over time it wont feel like a burden trying to figure it out all at once :)

    that's what I do when I keep dieing to a certain class. it used to be nightblades but then I started seeing how they work and my buddy got jumped by one he was like run its a good nb im like nah ill pick u up and kill him. and I kept the nb at bay long enough to revive my teammate and finish him off right after. not saying I can always do that but its all touch and go feel out the situation and stack your attacks/buffs/heals/ accordingly

    Yeah it is actually, my NB has 32k health in Cyrodiil, my High Elf Sorceror has 21k health and he has Vr14 Green gear despite him being Vr16 and has all his attributes in Magicka yet he still has more health then you and most of his enchantments are magicka related.

    You it seems are clearly not using Food Buffs like everyone else and what is your excuse for not using magelight to make it so they can't gank you? because magelight reduces damage you receive from all stealth related attacks by half.

    I eat noob blades for dinner. But balance shouldn't be made around noob players like you for example. It should be balanced around good players. As a stamplar I can't beat a stamblade 1v1 if we're equally skilled. That's it.

    You're all acting like 10k+10k dmg in less than a second is something normal. It's not. There's no excuse, no matter how you shouldn't be able to kill anyone in less than a second. That's not how balance works.

    That's a small percentage combo as you got hit by 2 consecutive crits. Wear impenetrable gear to reduce the crit damage you take.

    You have never encountered a Tank in PvP before have you? I have seen players with over 45k health, I saw a guy outside cyrodiil with 58k health, no idea how he got it that high but he was probably the Emporer, look up deltia or Syphers builds, I bet there is a video somewhere of Sypher taking on several NBs at once with whatever class you use, its got nothing to do with 1 class being OP, its all about the player's skill so you might want to rethink about how good you think you actually are, because I wager you are not as skilled as you believe yourself to be.
