    And other classes won't generate ults if they don't weave in normal circumstances which consists of a fair portion of their killing power as well. NBs just have icing on top of it. Which is probably why the NBs are the best pve DPS as well while other classes lack extra utility from certain amount of weaving. So. Yes, my point that every other classes have to do weaving like robots as well still stands.

    Εxactly. You just admitted that weaving is far more important for NBs. Which is the whole of what i was saying. I never said that other classes dont need to weave. I just said that losing weaves on NB is much more punishing that other classes which means that their rotation is far more demanding.

    I agree, and would add I'd like to see heavy armor not have high dps capabilities in PvP as well.

    Becouse cloak to a magblade is so unrieliable. I'd have streak anytime

    I'd rather have cloak. Let's trade lol. First off as a sorc, I don't want my escape to double in cost everytime I use it..second of all. I don't want my escape to me dump me 5 feet away from my opponent so they can just gap close me to death...third...i want to go the direction my character is facing which you can't do with streak...So please..i want cloak

    It isn’t so much that magblades are so OP, it’s that fighting them is so frustrating. Most of them try to gank you out of stealth, and if that fails they just cloak away and reset, leaving you to uselessly spam magelight/revealing flare/AoEs trying to reveal them, burning up your resources while they recover. I’ve repeatedly seen groups of 10+ players running around trying to reveal a magblade, only to have it pop up on the other side of the battlefield and gank someone else. A well-built and skillfully-played magblade is all impossible to kill in Cyrodiil these days. No other class can do this on a regular basis against other skilled players. Even the slipperiest magsorc or tankiest stamden will eventually fall to a few decent players, but the top magblades are basically immortal unless they screw up.

    Its the combination that cloak is too stronk and has no real pratical counters.

    That nighblades always get 1st strike and it hits hard.

    Nighblades have amazing passives and skills that not only do decent damage but apply mutiple useful effects.

    That dodge roll, combined with cloak make ranged abilities void.

    The only counter to a nightblade is being a nightblade.

    Well it’s good we have the option to play with either. If you’d prefer cloak; then play magblade. Not sure why cloak and streak is compared. Streak and shadow image feels more comparable to me.

    I have both. They don’t feel that much different to me. NBs are able to chose when to engage and do have 2 escape tools but they can be countered with awareness and a detect pot. Sorcs need to be gap close spammed and have the extra shield. NB big proc hits harder in the combo, but sorcs have the best execute in the game that’s automatic within a few seconds makes up that ground when the combo brings someone within 20%. And the delayed damage if curse adds to the burst combo with there a bit weaker proc hit.

    The edge magblades have better is being able to chose when they’re going to be engaged, escape counters are often not run, and freaking build options which include the ability to go melee with a super cheap and powerful ultimate while sorcs are stuck with pretty much one style

    Take this from a player thats known for being best magdk and best magplar xbox na - relentless focus soultether. Plus this combo is almost unblockable damage from someone who knows how to time it right. Its ok man your a youngster im guessing who hasnt had enough experience to know the difference between op and balanced. Maybe in a few years you will get there.

    Explain how that combo is any more potent than Wrecking Blow+Sub Assault+Dawnbreaker or Curse+Frags+Meteor+Rune Cage

    Nightblade is overpowered. Period. No discussion or argument required. If nb doesn't nerf in future PvP is done for good. Why don't noob nb l2p other classes rather commenting on others? Let's every one play that stupid god broken class. Problem solved. Nb is broken class. It's only a matter of time everyone in cyrodil are nb. I already switched to nb for pvp long time ago rather than arguing with Nb. Most of the NB are just exploiting broken class. All should have done the same instead of complaining.

    I haven't played my stamblade in almost a year been playing stamplar and warden have had no issues with stamNB or magblade.If your having a problem or getting burst for 30k from a easily dodgeable combo your build is bad.Only thing broken about Nb is that Fear can't be broken at times when the game is laggy and that's issues with the game.

    Oh yes, Do it in DK , Sorc & Templar with a CC ? No one stops you. You can teach others how to l2p in other classes.
    Only warden can do it , but its without a CC and can be dodged. I am sticking with NB for PVP until its nerfed. Everyone can create 8 characters. Why cant everyone create on different factions with different races when everyone know what OP Classes are rather than complaining in forum ? Once crossed leveled 50 every character is same with 75 skill points minimum is sufficient for PVP. Only thing is we have to level up alchemy , provisioning , & alliance war skills for buffs.

    Couldnt agree more. 30-40k damage in 2 seconds on a player with 27k resistance is stupid overpowered.

But, rather too lazy, create separate PVP characters ? Stick character you love with PVE. Rather than complaining a broken class , lets everyone play it . Lets all be NB in cyrodil. When NB can mark target another NB and prevent from stealth, and only a NB can counter another NB , why the hell sticking other class character in PVP. Leveling a NB character to 50 hardly few days. Hardly you need 75 skill points for PVP with alchemy, provision & war skill leveled. Lets all play hide and seek with snipes and mark target.

    Night blade has CC. Whatever you mentioned can kill skeevers & noobs who dont know how to dodge . Except dawnbreaker of smithing that too if you have enough ultimate , it can be dodged. When NB comes out and CC a person you cannot be dodged. Its no way near the multiple CC & defiles NB can provide to kill a player. Good luck with these skills for killing a NB sniping from 35 m. Only NB can counter a NB with piercing mark target. They should have given mark target to other classes via mage guild instead of that useless mage light. Its useless skill good for nothing in detecting anything. Instead all NB are using it for their snipes. lol.

    I dont know why ZOs is so biased in class balance. Until then NB is OP and reign in all PVPs. Its all switch to NB for PVP, dont waste time. I did it long time back. Climb a rock , snipe all those other class noobs travelling in horse or any noobs going that way . Kill all other class idiots until you get bored. Kill anything that moves.

    Mark target 50m range lol , 2 snipes with poison injection 35M range, have good set for an archer . Only a tank can survive. Enemy cannot hide , nor escape , & no one know where you are. For other classes you can escape by just going in stealth after first snipe. If NB pray god and laugh about the idiotic broken class , ZOs total bias for NB & die.

    Never in ESO history a class is completely broken and so OP. NB is such a laughing class. There are so many OP strategies , that NB can do that can never be countered. I just given just one example. All switch to NBs . Its high time to switch to NB for PVP. NB is such a laughable PVP god class.

    There is just no decent PvP player getting hit from soultether+will or incap+will. Simple rule for dealing with it- u get hit by a tether/incap --> breakfree rolldodge <--- u will not get hit
    if someone uses will on u and because u screwed up and reacted bad u didnt block/ roll it - just block now if its a mag nb and u fear to be tethered if its a stam nb its time to do a roll now.
    If u cant do that ur probably the standard guy typing lfg when entering cyrodil.

    And im not only playing nbs.

    Please dont blah blah. You cannot and never counter my NB strategies, even for argument sake. You are a socrere/templar non tank build in a horse. Even pretend you are not in a horse. I am an NB in a rock cloaked. I mark target you , pull 2 lethal arrows and 1 poison injection in 2 seconds from 35M range . You have 25k healrh. Atleast 1 snipe crits with 15k. How will you counter ?

    thats the poor man's snipe build - everybody would go with snipe bombard with asylum bow - for insta kill - ur version gets countered by having sound and being fast - there is no way the 2nd snipes hits u if u are fast.
    And the button is called rolldodge - u should rly bind it on ONE key not on double clicking W A S D

    As long as u dont fall of the horse on the first snipe :wink:

    Unless you give him a chance with enough time your second lethal arrow to get his shields up. Choice is how good you are pulling. In almost all cases, you first lethal arrow will be in the air , before second one hits. If he is in horse no chance , unless he didn't fell down and get out of our range pretty fast if lucky. With mark , he cannot go in stealth immediately. He has to wait for 20 seconds. Your bow will hit a lot harder with major breach. He cannot roll dodge forever or having shields up at the same time. With poison he cannot heal. With other classes snipe build of course. Immediately go in stealth and stack up the shields problem solved.
