✭✭✭✭Short simplified version = I find it difficult to beat magblades. Since I can't beat them as easily as I like, I think they should be nerfed.
Op, play another class or take a break from the game. Balance doesn't necessarily mean that every class/build should be able to easily beat another. Normally, archers should do heavy damage against mages. Mages should do huge damage against heavy armor wearers, etc.
Ha! I *wish* Sorcs did huge damage against heavy armor wearers. That hasn’t been the case since Morrowind dropped, sustain took a nerf, sharpened became near useless, and we haven’t been able to wear penetration sets like Spinner.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭There's a massive combo I already encountered several times in battlegrounds:
Soul Tether + X + Steel Tornado (2x, 3x)
It's very efficient and it can kill a group of people if done by a player who knows how to use it.
I find it hilarious that some here don't see the recent issues with (Stam)Nightblades. Nightblades at the moment are too strong. Point. Let it be damage, sustain, CC or defense/self healing, they're at the top. Both specs. Due to bugs or an amazing toolkit doesn't matter in the end. There will be some adjustments and nerfs in the next patch because it's necessary.Edited by Seraphayel on April 1, 2018 5:24AMPS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -0 -

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?
U wish those classes can pull off 30k in 1-2 seconds
My sorc can pull it off repeatedly on my gank build and he is not optimized completely. My buddy who runs a similar build can do 35k...... so I don't know why* you say other classes can't do it.

Its true...
I main a stamblade and have magelight on my bar and I've been in groups which run around a keep like headless chickens.
I pop magelight and the enemy blade gets revealed and eight times out of ten they can't cope and are taken down easily. With the other two I start stealthing because I'm now a target
In some builds I don't use it but its the work of a moment to slot and then cast it until the blade is dealt with.
The thing is open field, the advantage is with the blade, they don't have to close to detection distance until ready. In a keep however the advantage is with the other side, the blade is in hostile territory. Like with so many abilities, its all contextual.EU PS41 -

Best execute on paper. But in practice it’s terrible especially open world. Dodgeable cloak able block able reflectable and scales at 25% and is a slow projectile.
Best execute in this game is the sorc finisher imo.8 -

Its so freakin bad....
I wonder if I still have the video of my Impale being dodged 3 times then hitting a guy at like 10% for 2k damage.....I would of been better off using EVERY single other skill in the game.
After that happen I just took it off the bar...https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXpX7JMwRXtczc5GTrIYRIw

No they dont dude nobody has equal amount of burst as mag blade if you think so you haven't had enough experience in game.

✭✭✭✭✭I´ve started to use detection pots more often since nightblades became more popular again. Made my life so much easier. I still die to good nightblades 1v1, but I´m surprised how many nigthblade that starts to panic once they can´t reset the fight with cloak.2 -

Break free from the CC from tether and roll/block Relentless. You can do this and avoid the hit from Relentless as long as your reaction time is faster than the ingame mailbox system.DRAGON_KILLER_HUNTER wrote: »time to kill for sure is too low right now...damage is so high
Time to kill is too low in ESO, good joke mate

Well thats the thing. Balance is so screwed up that time to kill is way too high and way too low at the same time. You can one shot one guy without even using an ult but tickle the next guy with a full combo and lucky crits. I think its time to bring some sort of softcaps back.1 -

u know u can CC break into rolldodge... . Except its lagging as hell any decent player will cc- break block or cc break and roll. Nb is the best pug stomping class so, but all nightblade burst is very telegraphed and easy to avoid. But calling others casual - in a casual game -and not being able to cc break fast - maybe we can find the mistake there hmmmm...
A harder to pull of higher dmg combo on sorc:
curse -meteor -frags- unblockable CC - frags curse and meteor hit same time and are completely uncounterable if timed correct - this is a way to kill medium armor players without giving them a way to counter it.
mag warden: ground aoe - cliffrace - bear ult
stamplar- PoL - jabs - dbos- execute
There are hard hitting combos out there. Mag nightblade for sure doesnt shine at duels only bc of burst - its all about cripple/shadow image kiting - disabling people from getting to you.
But why do i discuss even with a clear troll probably new to the game that got burst by a mag nb and made a forum post.Edited by Murador178 on April 1, 2018 10:20AM1 -

Proxy will only 1 shot surrounded by other players plus you need VD and a ultimate by his self way different.
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.

As long as I have been PvPing, I have never seen or don't recall those high numbers in any of my deathcap; particularly from a MagBlade. When I was playing a MagBlade, I also never seen those numbers of damages going out. Must be some squishy build to have received those high hits from a MagBlade, or something fishy going on there with that toon. Although.. with the AOE cap gone, and the MagBlade spamming Sap Essence with the Eye of the Storm, yeah, you can surely disintegrate fairly quick, if you're not careful.0 -

✭NB's do need to be looked at in general
They are the top of all PvE and PvP damage specs with multiple variations (Gankblade, bomblade, battleblade heavy blur build)
Sorcs cant even match their parses in PvE
I'm not saying nerf NB's, but perhaps buff the other classes that need it to be on-par with them
