    You only have 20k health? With food and the free 5k? Nevertheless it's not an option for you to try and increase your hp and/or mitigation?

    23 I think.

    Then you weren't at full health if 2 attacks totaling 20k killed you and your health is 23k.

    So this makes 10k surpriseattack and ambush balanced?

    Everyone wants to be a solo 1vx hero which is the problem. I blame the streamers and youtubers. Any dk or templar who runs in a small group will never notice any imbalance with their class. Obviously classes designed for high mobility and high damage are going to outperform classes that aren't mobile in a solo environment. Stop trying to be superheroes and play with friends and maybe you'll enjoy the game.

    While this game isn't balanced, balancing a large scale pvp environment around 1v1's is dumb. Tell you what though, since we want to make all classes the same, give me a BOL equivalent for my stamblade and I will gladly give up cloak.

    Can't believe people are trying to defend this kind of burst in a game where you run around with 20k hp.
    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 know, perhaps you're not a 20K hp player? Ever ponder that.. perhaps you need to up your hp a bit? I actually like running with 25k or so.. since 20k is bare minimum to not be 1shot... by just about anyone. Not just stam blades. A good Stam DK? He'll basically 1 shot you, with no stealth with that. Leap into a WB, and you're gone. I know people like to have 0 points in hp, and that can work when you have everything very very on point.. but frankly, if you might want to try more if you're having that much trouble. On my magika nb.. I get nasty tells all the time from salty players whining that "Magika nb so over powered, bla bla bla". Honestly, there are only a handful of stam blades that give me any trouble. I generally find they pop and have 0 self sustain. The ones that can beat me? I know they're pretty damn good and know their class well. Same thing with sorcs. There are about 3 sorcs I can't beat that I've fought. I know it's just not a possibility with the combination of shields etc that they use and their burst. It's fine. They're good players, and know their class. I poop on 90% of the sorcs I fight. There are a few good templars I can't beat, and a few good DKs I can't beat. I am not looking for nerfs for any classes, because frankly... it comes down to generally a case of players being better than me that can beat me. Otherwise I beat them at this point. If you're having so much trouble with a certain class, roll that class and try it out for a bit. Find out what weaknesses it suffers.

    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.


    How come you never complain about 30k+ dmg stam DK can do in under 1 sec, and all that from 25m range.

    You obviously have never played Templar.
    If you are in a small group meeting a large group,
    NBs and Sorc can move out quickly of the danger zone.
    Templars are snails and just are being rolled over.

    The terrible moveability of Templars indeed could be buffed.
    But not buff and no armor helps against instagibs from invisibility.
    Permanent invisibility + instagib damage = god mode

    Thank you. No one bats an eye at that but Nbs are OP. People need to accept that other players are better than them and can build toons to 1 shot. that's it. If you don't want to get 1 shot, build around surviving gankers. you cant have everything in one character. Everything has a counter if you use your brain.

    Alright OP let me lay it down for ya.

    First off, I'm sorry you had such a horrible experience. However, Nightblades are not the only ones that can give you one. 20k damage in less than a second? 10k per attack? That is honestly pretty normal. Think about how they got to that... It's more than just Weapon Damage, it's also Critical Hits no doubt not to mention Armor Penetration. With a proper build the crits are real and the burst will happen! That being said any class can achieve this, not just Nightblades. You can cry for all the NB nerfs you want but in reality why don't you try buffing your own defenses? If you get ganged up on that's not a Nightblade issue, that's a player issue because some people are just plain toxic lol

    Im havin a hard time deciding if NBs are OP or not.

    Seriously

    What Im weighing is the game as a whole. PvP is not the only part of the game, so wouldn't a class great in PvP but poor in PvE be balanced? I dunno...

    However when the majority of players are NBs, when my strong sorc and dk guldies decide to roll NBs to stay on top leader boards (you guys know us, 7 of top 10 in Azura's Star xbox),
    ... then I question it's balance.

    I also realize the best counter to CC (the killer of players) is stamina, now logically if I want to live ("come with me" lol) i would then run the best stamina build possible... which NB is the first to mind (come on who thinks "stamina... templar that's the Best" or "DK that's just the end all for stamina" and no one thinks, "sorcerer stamina obv"

    Wanna balance the game a bit more? Reduce the cost of CC break. Doesn't even have to be by much.

    As far as the huge attacks. Now I only imagine the death recaps before the 50% damage reduction !

    Last night was the first time I fought a player and thought to myself, "There is no hope of success here" and he was a sorc.

    I do believe NBs are the most well created classes. Each ability can be used and well in a build. You cannot (my experience is in sorc) say that about Daedric summoning tree (and from what Ive read many templar abilities).

    If the other classes had the same synergy between abilities I doubt we'd be havin this thread.

    You only have 20k health? With food and the free 5k? Nevertheless it's not an option for you to try and increase your hp and/or mitigation?

    23 I think.

    Then you weren't at full health if 2 attacks totaling 20k killed you and your health is 23k.

    So this makes 10k surpriseattack and ambush balanced?

    Depends on the context, there are a multitude of lens to view it through. Those damage numbers are likely critical hits, and since Ambush does not break Cloak it's possible that they could have actually been from stealth too. At any rate the nuance comes from the question; can build adjust to compensate. And many can using the traits reinforced and impenetrable. Players have to envolve and adapt as the game changes.

    Nevertheless saying that a 10k Surprise Attack and Ambush killed you, while leaving out that your were not at full health, and at the same time saying many run with 20k is taking a lot of liberty. It's manipulating the facts to meet your agenda, and frankly I don't think it's a positive foot foward to enact change.

    You make a statement that you cannot actually prove. ZOS runs the numbers and finds hp totals are actually higher. By what merit than is ZOS likely to listen to you in the future?

    First of all I agree something should be done with ganks, but that's part of the game. NB has a class advantage from stealth which is fine they base most the damage from high crit, build with plenty of impenetrable armor and they will be easier to deal with.

    I play DK and 9/10 NB die if you can live through their initial burst.

    What needs fixed is CC immunity, if you break the stun the CC immunity should be applied to fear.

    You're blatantly wrong because I survive the best NB one shots in game @TheBull @rokrdt05 by hitting buttons.
    Stop perpetuating falsehoods.

    I understand every player has the right to play whatever way they want and play whatever skills they want. But that doesn't mean that they are justified in crying nerf every time they die to someone who is just better.

    And perma invis? are you mad? L2pots and magelights. not utilizing blatantly obvious tactics to counter stealth makes it a clear L2P issue.

    If the other classes had the same synergy between abilities I doubt we'd be havin this thread.

    i would go the other route though increase the cost of abilty's. with the implementation of CP there is even less resource managment then there was and my dk not even fully stamina can spamm WB 10 times without any stamina regen while i can block maybe 3 or 4. this to me doesn't make sense and leave the attacking party in advantage every time. which leads to the problem of NB. the NB class was designed to be an assassin so high burst but with high risk. i think NB should stay this way, but because there is so low cost on abilty's and the fact like i said in my previous post a NB can cloak right in someone's face makes it no risk high reward. if the cost of abilty's would increase you would see less problems with NB, SS sorc (because they have to use all magicka for their ss if they aren't skilled, the ambush spamm so you can almost perma stuck someone and people can counter WB even more easly as it is now and zerg will weaken because they can't keep up the BoL purge spamm. sure PvE will notice this but it will make this part of the game more interesting aswell maybe some rework on some bosses but in the end ZoS will balance this out aswell. before people start im more of a PvE player myself but every time i step into Cyro is see the same old boring spammfest and leave asap cause people here are all like L2P well gien what i see in cyro there isn't mutch L2P... killing isn't that hard, if you don't go 1 vs X you don't die in one second like the op states.

    Give each class permanent invisibily, and then let's see how this is a L2P issue.

    Permanent invisibility needs to go, sorry.
    This god mode is not only killing players instantly without any chance,
    it is also killing the fun, balance and diversity in this game. Result: PvP = >70% NBs

    Heh, OK. I have a grand experiment for you. Roll a Stamblade, put all your points into stam for that burst... and then hit cloak. Tell me how many times you can cloak. I"ll give you a hint... it's between 3 to 4. At 2.9 seconds per, that's... about 9 to 11 seconds of invis. Permanent means something else sadly. Now, a magika nb... can cloak a ton. But will not have the burst of a stamblade. Also... you can buy invis potions, that last much longer than NB cloak... AND work more reliably. :P Pretty cool stuff actually. IF you're having issue with NB's and stealth in general, I'd suggest you look into the Mage Guild mage light. I hear it helps. Also, there are detect potions. I use these on all my characters. When you get a feeling there may be a NB.. or any ganker about? You pop one of these, and you can see them crouching there, just waiting to get gibbed. A NB cloaks? Pop a pot and start running around looking for him. You just feel like it? Pop a pot.

    This video comes to mind

    I love that video. But that doesn't really say much other than 75% of the people he killed didn't hit their buttons. He's also grouped with other people.

    This says everything about your mindset as a player of this game. You conveniently ignore facts and cry nerf. Did you notice maybe that the build in the video can be run by any class? he;s crit charge executing and dodgerolling for the bow speed buff. If a dk or a stam sorc ran that, with the right race combo they can do what he does better.

    Also, he's in a group. AND this video is from when upper crag was released....

    Know what buff helps people that die to surprise attacks? common sense. If you weren't running around alone all willy nilly maybe you wouldn't get ganked.

    NB Gap closers are a problem because they can be spammed.

    But your problem is a L2P issue.

    And two handed and templar gap closers can't be spammed? Any gap closer can

    No they cant. They require a gap to be between both players, ambush is the only gap closer in the entire game thst requires no gap.

    So now we aren't allowed to run around anywhere solo? Guess that means I'll grab a zerg...oh wait

    Made me lol at an nb yesterday that thought he was some Yolo ganker, ended up getting 15 of us to sit in stealth and farm him over various rooms for an hour, he got seriously teabagged..

    I am quite intrigued by how none of the one or two dozen OP NBs that get killed in that vid didn't get the memo they are invincible.
