The magicka version is extremely punishing on your stamina pool, and the stamina version takes alot of resources from your utility skills. Nothing but high risk / high reward.
Not even gonna comment about this skill on a PVE setting.
What are you smoking? This skill is great in PvP and PvE....totally unbalanced to give a class this ability for so long nerf everyone's sustain but not touch dark conversion.
People will be able to run 800 Stam recovery in heavy armor next patch due to this one skill and still stack wep damage
It's a cast time ability that's interruptible not only by bash but by any interrupt including venom arrow for stam users and crushing shock for mag users. There is counterplay available. Also the cast time gets extended by 0.2 seconds in the future I believe.

No smart sorc is spamming DD. They use it after combat.
How is that relevant to sorc sustain being OP?
@IzakiBrotherSs
There's another thing that's gonna be a big issue: Argonian sorc running tripots and dark conversion... maybe pot enchant

Pot enchantments are broken and only reduce your cd by 1 sec each.
Before the Patch I had an argonian dk build that had to sustain for 15 seconds and would have all 3 resources filled again. With the changes to battleroar that's a lot harder but I think I can still use it for fun

You're so wrong. There are many options too utilize this skill during combat. Getting pressured with cc cooldown almost up? Stun and dark deal. Got distance and need resources? Dd. Got a tree? Dd. I'm a group where you can buy 1 second of space? Dd. Dodge rolling up and into a breach? Dark deal.
It's over powered in the upcoming patch.

So any class must run crushing shock or venom arrow to prevent a sorc to use a OP heal and res return? What about sorcs that broke CC?
The entire argument of DD being interruptable is stupid. No one is going to use weaker morphs to counter one skill. At least Magelight, which is a counter to NB, gives you something extra in the form of a major buff, and protection against ganking/extra magicka. The skills you are suggesting have NOTHING extra, just help sorc to get CC inmunity...

Stun-> LoS-> Kite = No Combat.
Combat is when you dirink a pot while weaving, for example. No one spamm DD during combat, they open a gap to avid dmg to use the skill.
Now read what the guy above said "put pressure on a sorc,so he can spam DD", which is a blatant lie. He could even dodge roll and use vigor to get a HoT. But dodge rolling takes the sorc out of combat

I think most people are saying that interrupting a skill, really any skill, should incur a penalty of some sort on the person being interrupted. Dark Deal is just the focus because it's an incredibly powerful source of resources at a time when resources for all other classes are taking one to the head.

What in the world, are you not reading any of the post? You don't think people are calling for a nerf? LOL.
Too bad sorcs have №1 mobility in game and interrupted dark deal refunds magicka, so your arguments are cheap excuses.It's a cast time ability that's interruptible not only by bash but by any interrupt including venom arrow for stam users and crushing shock for mag users. There is counterplay available. Also the cast time gets extended by 0.2 seconds in the future I believe.

As convincing as your "LOL" is, no I don't. I don't think the resource return needs a value reduction, I think the counterplay (interrupt) needs to incur a penalty.

they absolutely Need a reduction. it is insane how op dark deal is on pts, siphoning attacks has to be active for 20 sec to refund like 3k stam with the last tick while i get 5k with stam sorc in 1 sec ontop of an 8k heal
Once again, "buff others" - it's not working, even ZoS get it and started to actually balancing stuff.Sandman929 wrote: »Sandman929 wrote: »Sandman929 wrote: »The only thing funnier than calls for nerfs (which I don't think anyone has done here regarding Dark Deal) are the players fiercely protecting their babies.

Since it's a channel, I don't think a reduction is needed. Other class based skills with similar functions should probably be improved. So we might disagree there. But rather than calling for another nerf, something Dark Deal specific, I'd rather see skillful counterplay, interruptions for all skills that can be interrupted, be rewarded and the cost of the interrupted skill be charged to the caster.

You're opinion of out of combat is a lot different than mine. Line of sight, stunning, dodge rolling does not mean out of combat. By no combat do you mean they aren't doing damage? Being in combat doesn't just mean dealing damage, it means forcing your opponent to make decisions or taking them based on your opponent.
Are there counters? Sure. Is it too strong for the upcoming changes to cp and sustain? Absolutely. Live it's not as much of an issue bc everyone has options too help with sustain.

IMHO it's like boxing, when they engage in combat. Yes, as a boxer you have to take decisions, but if you are running out of "stamina", then what you do? Clinch. Then the referee stops combat.
LOS, or CC, or any other tactic used in PvP has the same effect than the clinch, but without a referee. So if a sorc is smart is going for that window that aloow him to recover res, not during the combat itself...
