Change:

Dark cloak: No longer gives minor protection, immunity on snares while active.

I think this should be needed

    Immunity on snares would obviously be a massive buff.

    so that heavy armor stamblades can just take rally with zero sacrifice involved?

    No. I don't think so.

    Says the DK with the best healing in any armor weight.

    Cloak used to do that and it'd be great if it still did. It would help it not get broken by ever bloody thing in the game

    Yeah. Cloak just absolutely never works.

    Heavy stamblade won't have infinete cloacks, if they want to have some dmg. You go heavy with a stmablade to avoid using cloak

    I think it’s funny. The current state of NB isn’t enough. No, threads are opened requesting even more buffs. So on magNB you want to

    - have a plethora of HoTs running
    - While being able to be snare immune with cloak
    - And supreme kiting with shades

    Practically the only time a NB would get killed if CCed. No other way to catch these then.

    On stamNB you want

    - Rally on top of Vigor
    - While being able to cheaply purge snares
    - And maintaining mobility and burst

    And that’s not way over the top?

    That is the one and only thing stamDk has going for it, which is countered by defile meta.

    As a MNB main we need some sort of downfall. Snares is just that. Overall snares need to be addressed but it would be a little too much to negate snares especially with cloak. Maybe put it of something not already strong.

    Asking for improvements to NB , will end up being a slap in the face....

    NB is, and will always be, the step child of ESO.

    Lets just be happy that Miats Hack was addressed, and we can actually, play our class as intended.

    lel never said that... Point is there is scrafice. Most of the time when a stamblade cloaks they have like no magic and are desprately hitting that button to go into cloak. Using cloak to purge snares isn't very sustainable to stamblade AT all, though it would help magic a lot instead of dying every time you get pinned down. Sorcs can streak out even when snared.

    If you think cloak is weak and costs too much you can always try playing a super overpowered stam DK with tons of heals and %100 uptime on major mending. And we stamDks get 2000 base magicka regen obviously so Its so easy to keep spamming igneous shields.

    No.

    Cloaking is a Nighblades biggest defense because we have no shield in our class. It's already been nerfed enough and broken at times. And it's ONLY an 8% reduction!

      Even if you have some magic regen it still isn't very sustainable as a stamblade, which is fine, that is how it's meant to be. But for magicka NB it would be nice to have some snare removal without running Mist whih is expensive and all around pretty terrible.

      Can all the ForumKnights go away please, you have some of the best ways to counter nightblades so if you are complaining it's a L2P issue most likely

      You are aware that the suggested change would be a huge buff instead of a nerf? Nightblades. They’re really good at the forum game. To them even huge buffs are somehow always nerfs.

      Kek. Igneous. Trash. Best of casting heal twice. 12% is nice, but temp/warden>DK. NB is the least in need of snare removal. Shade/cloak allows mobility fine. Don't blame the forumknights for wanting snare removal as well. DK has either to sacrifice burst for FM (Stam) or themselves for mist (No disengagement, stoms mag regen. Buggy as all hell.) If we have to rely on block which comes with its own inbuilt snare, we would like to have some immunity to all the others. (Reminder, worst mobility ESO.)

      Stamblade in fight is taking far higher adventage of having cloak then mag nb. As for mag nb's I would like to see some skill synergise with cloak same way like dodge synergises with it. Nice option would be for Concelled weapon instead of having 25% more movement speed in cloak to have snare/immobilize removal and immunity while in cloak and maybe 1-2 seconds after leaving it. This way we're buffing only mag nb and if stam nb want this benefit he needs to sacrifice something. As for stam nb I would really like to see cloak having debuff that will make dodge roll cost debuff timer halted or even longer when someone is using cloak or atleast hp recovery cut by some percantage while in cloak.

      Idk what world you live in where you think cloaking whilst snared is possible. The exact same is true with image in that you have to manage to get away from the image in the first place. Personally id just like them to bin cloak for a different defence skill.

      Of course cloaking whilst snared isn't going to be as effective, that is the point of snares. But when used in tandem, shuffle, FM or mist works well because unless revealed you won't be resnared in the cloak.* And if you have a well set up shade, then you can deal with the snare another way.

      *Its not like a Templar/DK which can be resnared straight as the mist runs out. (Or straight as you purge) thus a class with already good ways of dealing with mobility doesn't need another thing, let alone on cloak. As for binning cloak it'll never happen since its something that won't go over well, too far in to completely change the staple skill, they only just got it working.
