QoL for Nightblades

NyassaV

Nightblade is (arguably) the hardest class to play when looking at the game as a whole. Everyone has their spots where they can do extremely well. DK in Duels for instance... Warden in PvP... Sorc does lots a damage and doesn't require a lot of super duper skill (But really good sorcs are scary)... And so on and so on.

Aside from making Grim focus refresh on cast, I think it'd be nice to have Siphioning attacks return stamina or magic again.

On the PvE side of things the Change would hardly be felt much seeing as magblade already has a very cheap spammable
On the PvP side of things this change would make stam sustain less of a pain staking thing when choosing skills

One option is to have Siphoning attacks restore; 100 Magicka and 50 Stamina
Leeching would be: 100 Stamina and 50 magicka

Now to all those who hate stambaldes that cloak (Sorry for using a buggy class defining skill) a lot, this change wouldn't really enable the use of cloak THAT MUCH more often seeing as magicka skills are more expensive than stamina skills as they are right now

Or you could go with the % values thing. I understand with Morrowind you had some weird thing against this for almost no reason at all (least one that made a lot of sense). I've done the math (Mind you I'm bad at math) and if;

Siphoning Attacks gave back .5% of a user's max magic and half of that in max stamina, it would be pretty close to 100 magic returned and 50 stamina for an average DPS character build

The other option for tanks in PvE would be like a buff to stack with constitution
Leeching strikes (could rename to leeching cloak or armor); Upon taking damage restore .4% of max magic and max stam ( Assuming tanks aim for about 30k of each resource give or take this will be about 120 in each resource pool. I believe this is balanced because it requires you to take damage.) This should have a cooldown of approx 1 second

You can adjust as you see fit @ZOS_Wrobel (Mind you, when morrowind came I noticed tons of new players playing nightblades for RP reasons as it's a fun play-style. So it wouldn't hurt to make the class less painful on the user)

Also give sorcs that 7% damage to frags back since that didn't do squat but annoy PvE players. Since the stun as been removed I can safely agree with this change

More of a joke, but wouldn't mind it: Make Shades work like Streak until you can fully fix the bloody thing

leeching strikes restores health and stam. why would a stamblade want to restore magicka? its better as is.

The change to where it gave back health was a bit of a joke.

The siphon strikes getting a 400% nerf to our stam/magika recovery was stupid.

I have a Magblade, no heavy attacks necessary. I do use siphoning attacks too, I actually like the change to them.

There is no doubt that before Morrowind, Siphoning attacks was over-performing. I don't know if it still works or not, but Grothdarr used to proc it's resource restore.

I laughed so hard at this.

Its actually a very noticeable heal in places like vMA. I barely even use Vigor in there nowadays, because Leeching Strikes is just so good at healing me.
