    LOL. I read your comment, went, "huh", scrolled up while taking a drink of water, read his name, and now im cleaning my keyboard and monitor.

    As for the rest of it. Magblade is under performing if anything. A ranged magnb is a lesser magsorc and a melee magnb is a lesser stamblade. For every good magnb there is 100 bad ones, you usually don't notice they are a magblade because you ran them over so damn fast. The players that are dominating with a Magnb are really top tier players and are experts at pvp mechanics.

    and lets be real, if your taking 30K. THIRTY KAY DAMAGE in 2 seconds from a player then the problem is YOUR BUILD. You have to be a level 20 in green gear or somthing. Like seriously, nobody is taking 30k damage in 2 seconds from a magblade unless they are wildly under geared.

    sigh :(

    I don't even play a nightblade and y'all are depressing me with this anti-NB hysteria lately. I'm going to be sad if they have to join magplars down in the basement again because a really loud minority of PVPers do so much QQ.

    Name me a class that can pull off 30k damage ( pvp ) in 2 seconds. Il wait....

    ( tether - relentless - impale ) All while wearing you down with heal debuffs snares immobilizations etc. too op

    So 60k burst after defense calculations, assuming average defensive stats, and before battle spirit. My magsorc does 112k reliably without an ultimate. This is assuming the execute lights off, since you've listed impale as well. Within one second, measured.

    It's not hard to play. As much as you boast on these forums, you should be resourceful enough to figure that out.

    Actually, Magblade is one of the easiest classes to make up for your mistakes, since they can use cloak so much. While Roll-dodge can avoid damage, cloak allows you to actually mislead your opponents into thinking you went another way.

    But, if that cloak is taken away. Yeah. They're gonna die. Especially if they're only full damage. A horrible, extremely quick, death.

    Cloak is a nice unique skill that i dont want removed i only want damage nerfed because its soo far off compared to other classes. For example why run a sorc or mag warden?

    I mean if revealed, Magelight, Det pots, Mark, standing in stupid.

    Because NB's currently hold the top damage parses in PvE


    And in PvP are by and far the most powerful setup in 1v1's and 1vx's


    No class can take out a group like a magblade bomber will

    And no class will ever be able to match the burst combination of Fear+Incap

    The class has arguably the best sustain and can be tanky with heavy armor while being the only class to be able to wear heavy armor and have major evasion with Blur

    A bomb blade has to pump so much into actually bombing that they are very easy to kill if you just catch them out and don't group up in a ball.

    From messing with a magblade, the 30k dps for 2 seconds is fully possible. Kinda wish I kept the vids of it but yeah I have noticed issues where I couldn't understand that well on the aspects of dealing with high condensed groups that well. I would be likely needing more time to figure that one out more. If I had to compare it against my main and nb... my main would be more op and main is a magplar in heavy armor.
    From actually dealing with them in pvp... no I don't think nightblades are as dangerous as others make them out to be. Then again I also know how to stealth attack zergs so meh. I just feel that if you choose to be a nightblade you likely get killed a lot.

    I’ve run my magblade and have a hard time seeing how their described. Yes; they can cloak around in and out and escape, and they have a few burst combo options with ultimates an bow (80% uptime though?) But how they are described makes it sound like melee, ranged, and bomb blades all at once and that just doesn’t happen.

    They definitely have tools; but I don’t see any using all them at once and killing Zergs

    Yeah they're a bit too strong from what I recall, but it's mainly due to how strong snares are to be honest. Major evasion should nullify any snare in the game.

    Anyone that thinks stamblades are stronger aren't in the dueling scene.

    Yea he does ask to nerf purge for templars,Zaan,NB templars Dk as the supposedly best player om xbox he make a lot of nerfs threads.He aslo duck duel challeneges so as the best he sounds like a really bad player.

    Duel challenges imo are not always the best way to get an actual test on someone, true it is for one way but for some I think a more practical setting might work better... first things first... hope they are not the same alliance as you and have them go into cyrodiil into a certain location. You go there or two extras as well and test him/her out that way. Make sure the location is a location where majority of players won't come to and interfere.

    Combo outa nowhere. Its broken

    I do the same thing with mag sorc, and mag dk as well tho 24k leap OP and the new meta sorc 2 shot with overload is OP as well :smile:

    I think mag NBs are in a pretty similar to the one Mag DKs are in - situationally OP, but also situationally underpowered. I think that the times when it is slightly OP - 1v1 and 1v1 openworld and bombing - are so rare and potentially avoidable that I don’t think the class needs much change at this time. Unlike a Stam MB, MNBs single target burst takes a while to build up.

    Ya dude you must be low cp with low resistance i never get hit that hard by leap you doin something wrong.

    The problem is with magblades you can have a full tanky build and it won't matter. Thats the difference

    There are certain abilities that can one hit someone. Inevitable detonation is one such ability. Although that more relies on enemy zergs being present and in close proximity.

    Theoretically the sorc burst is higher and if you get hit with all of that stuff in one GCD you'll going to just evaporate. The only problem is human error and also your opponents skill level it's hard to get everything to land as soon as curse explodes you are basically trying to time 4 abilities to go off at once while as a magblade you only need 2. But if you just look at tooltip damage frag actually has a higher tooltip damage than incap while curse and dbos smiting together has a higher tooltip than merciless. Combined with wrath the sorc combo is actually harder hitting but not very practical... The magblade combo can be counterd. Because the spectral bow is a projectile you can actually cc break from incap or soul tether and block the bow before you take any damage even if it's fired at point blank range. Most players don't cc break that fast though and unless you are fighting duelist most players don't even know you can do this

    Ok bias.

    Casual?! Lol.... Yep that's a good one.

    For you to hate Nbs so much, U must die alot by them = sh!t player lol.

    Dayum look at you assuming everyone dying to NBs are bad. NBs are strong enough to tear apart tanks that survive the other class burst builds. You are as biased as the OP.

    I don't think a sorc can do that much anymore even with 0 impen target though with dbos. Meteor would make it possible for sure.

    I've gone and defended sejanus outpost by myself a while back and I was fighting zergs after zergs while defending the outpost (note they couldn't breach the door easily or even get a chance to do so) the times that I wiped out entire zergs and saw someone that survived I would highlight them... let them revive their teammates and then hit a few with inevitable detonation and hit the said tankish person with purifying light. They somehow barely survive the inevitable detonation onslaught but the purifying light has always killed them. Eventually hours later they figured out the safe range to actually breach and were surprised that it was only one person defending it.

    Too bad bow uptime is literaly like 80% of the fight its ready so ya stick to basic pve bro this goes
    Much deeper than "just block" the bow will hit u before at same time u break free so no matter what u still gonna get it. The problem is the counter yes theres some counters. But why should 1 class have 50% more damage than every other class by a long shot.

    Yeah, it goes much deeper than just block.

    Something along the lines of L2P
