Why are DD so unbalanced, I mean it doesnt sound fair to me that sorcs can pull up to 20k more than nightblades if not more, why dont they balance them nerf sorcs or buff nightblades or stamina users in general

    Because Nightblades are very independent buff and debuff wise.

    Even with the same buffs and debuffs they pull the best. Just look at raid parses, they scale the best in raids also.

    melee* stamblades have the highest dps.

    what is this forum and why i don't like it:
    - complainers that cry without reason and without solution
    - trolls that give cheap or useless answers
    - people giving advice with counters that are not viable
    - bloggers that talk about their day or what they use in game
    - roleplayers that talk about fashion
    - people with solutions or bug reports are ignored
    - people that write walls of text without reason

    My main is healer and I am 300cp so I havent got much experience in end game content but I read a lot how mag sorcs have the best dps by far and people who play stamblades get shunned away from vet trials cuz they are not as good as sorcs in damage output so I wad wondering if this is true because Im planning to focus on alt stamblade and eventually I wanna be able to play end game meta pve

    your right, all we need is just some small buffs for nightblade damage and it would help.
    best in slot: is the armor, weapon, clothing look, pet, or no pet, jewelry, race, class, skill choices, amount of DPS, and skin color best fit to you and the way you wish to play and makes you feel good and performs what YOU think it should be.

    worst in slot: what you read in zone chat, and forum comment, and forum thread, and you tube video, and live streamer advice, and class rep advice, and guild chat advice, and whisper told you to wear, and use for skill, and dress like, and use for weapon and armor.

    Is this a joke? Mag sorc is the lowest DPS overall next patch according to tests xD NB is the highest both mag and stam.
    Magicka sorcerer from start until the end. Always. Through the good times and the bad, even now when its probably saddest PvE dps it has ever been.

    its not a joke, we just don't agree with you, nor do we agree with you guys making similar threads asking for sorc buffs.
    just a difference in math and beliefs and opinions.
    we are allowed to see things differently then you.
    i agree with this thread and i noted it.

    You can honestly pick anything and be endgame viable, despite the all the ***.

    That being said, Nightblade, especially the Magicka version is the S tier option for DPS. They have insane scaling built into their kits alongside a kit overloaded with buffs and debuffs.

    However, Nightblade isn't the easiest class in the game to play to its full potential, a Mag Sorc will get you 90% of the DPS of a Magblade with 50% of the effort.

    In the end you should focus on playing what you enjoy rather than what is 'the best' since unless you are pushing scores for leaderboards it really does not matter.

    ^^^ this. And in pvp the skill cap for mageblade is even higher. We have to depend on extreme micromanagement to time burst with clunky skills like assassins will whereas a sorc gets free damage from a cheese double hit skill like curse and the best execute in the game with little effort. Just shield stack like a boss, bolt when things get rough, and hit like a truck with constant pressure on the offensive with little effort. Zos really wanted an easy mode class for beginners. This is it.

    Op got it wrong. He should really be wondering why sorcs have it easy for such strong reward.

    Any class can get to 30k dps and thats all you need to complete all content. With that being said nightblades easily get above 50k dps parses. Since all the content in this game is a dps race you will see more nightblades than any other class in competitive groups. They are bis when it comes to dealing damage

    Crit crit crit crit crit damage.

    PVE is so strongly Crit based that having all these crit damage based passives make NB stupidly strong.

    On top of that they have really good sustain, comparatively. Sorcs and Templars really really struggle with sustain for example. Magdk got the buff they needed this patch so they are closing the gap on NB.

    ingame and seeing honest and actual numbers is the best and most honest place to find the truth.

    right now here on the forums there is a group of sorcerers and dagonights that have made a campaign to nerf any and all nightblade class because of revenge that they were nerfed a few years back because they were over powered.
    now they see we nightblades have not been nerfed and that are hatefull about it.
    they make threads designed specificly to degrade invisibility, damage output, and survivability and smear us nightblades making us look bad out of revenge.

    the best we can do is simply give our honest opinion and hope that the community, the moderators and the developers are able to see what is happening here on the forums and allow a chance for them to see the lies being present here on the forums.
    and also continue to ask for help in increasing the damage output and survivability of us nightblades in both pvp and pve.

    its a fight worth fighting.
    good luck.
    What? You Nightblades are performing well enough already. They should just buff the other classes instead.

    Hell, I was in PvP last night and someone in chat was talking how he got a daily to kill 20 Nightblades and everyone pretty much joked how that's basically the "kill 20 enemy players" version since nearly everyone is a Nightblade.

    Edit: So much for class variety.
