    Long long ago a young nightblade screamed and profaned ZOS. He said "If dks can tank 10 people, sorcs can bolt across the map, and templars can heal, nightblades should be able to one shot!" And it was so.

    Dude stop trying so hard, with your magicka NB you would not beat me even if a had 15k hp.
    Im complaining about Stamblades.

    IK you're complaining about StamBlades, but I can't help but stand up for my stamina based brothers and sisters

    Oh, and I can take down even 30k+ targets :p except Templars apparently (unless they're Vamps)

    You know 20kHP in Cyrodiil is kind of low.

    It's not.
    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.

    All the good players run around with 20k hp. Some with even less.
    If I ever get killed by a 32k health nightblade id leave the game right away.

    You are a little baby and too weak to handle yourself. It makes sense why noob blades prey on you.

    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.

    I'm a dk tank with 4k weapon damage. Noob blades just get in my way ;)

    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.

    Hehe thats a semi weak example throw in the top tier player and then the average joe.

    Me and my buddies got destroyed multiple times by a single nightblade in crackedwood cave yesterday. We rank in the top 10 in the PVP server every week, haderous-ps4, and didn't stand a chance agaist this guy. After we fought him 5 times, being beat to death each time, he sent us a message saying "Gg". I told him he was an excellent fighter. He sent me a screen of his character. He has over 6k weapon damage, 2200 stam regen, and 18k phys and spell resist. I can't get near these numbers with my DK. Of course most night blades aren't near this tough. I usually have more terrible with shield exploiting sorcs. True story.

    It's not just NBs, it's not just WB. It's the bamfness of the player.

    What is BROKEN with NBs is that darn gap closer stun, combine that with fear, gg for low stamina players.

    The sewers are BROKEN because there is absolutely no risk for all the reward for gankers and they have no reason not insta respawn till you die.

    PvP is at LEAST 50% NB...

    You're wrong, you are bad stamina templar and should l2p. The reason you own with stamblade is because you suddenly transform into an elite player when playing this class.

    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.

    are you noob? radiant mage light decrease damage of stealth based attack by 56%, use it and you win, use detection potions. L2P, stop following builds written on the internet by a *- insert famous name here-* he knows how to encounter
    STOP BEING NOOB AND PITIFUL

    Please, just stop. Running Radiant Magelight on both bars and never using Tri-Stats/Immovable potions, that makes you an even bigger noob. When I see a toggle player like that, usually stacking health to because "help gankers", it's always the easiest kill of the day.

    Try fighting a good sorc or stam DK with some anti-gank build and only 8 skill slots.

    ZoS needs to revisit counters v.s. stealth attacks, among other things. Tapping crouch makes you hit harder than using some of the most expensive ultimates, this makes no sense from an MMORPG perspective. Fact that the only counter is loosing 2 skill slots in a game where we only get 10, is even more absurd.

    the only thing broken is a nb. I repeat , just play it for realize it :)

    even a noob that uses a simple rotation ambush s.attack fear s.attack s.attack cloak , ambush s.attack ( SH ) etc. etc. wins the most fights ..definitely not for the own personal skill ( if you have 500 cp it is even worse)


    all we end up playing NB , DK stam ( FOTM BUILD ) and a few Sorc..


    when a class (or a build ) is most played of the other there is always a very valid reason

    Ask your friends. Almost everybody now rolls a NB. Not because they like it.
    Only because NBs are so OP now that there is no alternative anymore.

    My daughter played a Sorc since console release.
    She is one of the best PvP players in Europe. However, she now rolls a NB.
    Not because she likes NBs (she hates them), but because she "has to stay competitive".

    In PvP, her Sorc is probably twice as effective as my Templar.
    Her new NB is probably twice as effective as her Sorc.
    The unbalance has reached a level where it is almost stupid not to play a NB.

    NBs are the most OP class in any PvP I have played in about 30 years.
    At which point ZOS will react? When NBs make 70%, 80%, 90% of PvP?

    See funny thing is players have already posted stuff like "please buff DKs" or "please buff templar" threads since like 1.6 and surprise there still under powered and every time one of those threads pops up NBs go onto it and say " oh they don't suck just L2P ya noob".

    So maybe you NB should stop counter arguing saying all classes are balanced when there not so that DKs and Temps can finally get buffed. Till then nerf NB nerf NB nerf NB nerf NB.

    is that really multi play pvp though? making anti gank build. Most players in PvP are set up for small group/group play thus support or glass cannon rolls

    So it still comes down to the burst and Dots reworking those or Hots would be a much better way for Zos to look at it

    some good point though
