In PvP Nightblades are seen as unchecked Gods of burst. But as we all know you land one good attack or combo on a Nightblade and that’s gameover. You counter Cloak the most countered power in game to date, it’s game over. You survive the opening burst they die or run. But why is that?
So the class that’s definitely meant to be the best killers of Men, Mer and Beast. Do just that kill fast and efficiently. So why is the class with the lease amount of class burst heals and complete lack of a class shield so powerful?
The simple and sad answer is they are not. Let me explain Nightblades are meant to kill fast and go full glass canon class defense are heavily lacking sustain so burst, burst and more burst is your friend. When all you have is a hammer every problem becomes a nail.
But if Nightblades are just playing the way they are meant to be played unforgiving Assassins way are they so powerful? Again simple and sad you don’t play your class the way it was meant to be played.
In PvP everyone plays with a Nightblade mindset even when not on a Nightblade. Hit like a truck and run for cover when it all goes sideways.
sDK is the perfect example of what a class should do play to your strengths. DKs have sustain and survivable build into their DNA add in CCs and burst combos you get a killer build. mDK are meant to hold their ground and burn away your resources yet what do all mDKs complain about DPS.
mDK is balanced for the long haul not a quick fight yet the Nightblade tactic of full power 24/7 is what mDK try to mimic. This is the same with every class. Players running Canon builds on stand and fight classes.
Problems with mDK and Magplars no escape power, limited burst and so little solo skills. That’s by choice if you build your character in a way that highlights your classes stand your ground powers and passives you will do just fine wildly outnumbered is wildly outnumbered you will die that’s just how it is.
Needing to run is for the Rogue class not the Warrior classes. If more players play to the strengths of your class and not to the strength of others it would be a whole different game.
