Incapacitating Strike Silence 5.0.3

Sandman929

Back to the drawing board, ZOS. In fact, start again on a whole new board because you can't ever get the smell of this off the current board.

What are these stamblade changes - Yes I am a stamblade main, but Im not getting or liking one of the changes they are doing. Nerfing suprise attack so everybody becomes a SnB slash spammer. Buffing tankyness and nerfing damage of nb - I dont think most players picked nightblade in the starting menu to run around with a Snb and 2Hander being one of the most tanky classes in the game.

And making nightblade an anti magic class. Just make incap unblockable - there are not enough unblockable spells compared undodgeable. I also need to block leap on a rollerblade. Making sub assault blockable is also a not needed change - u can evade the spell with clever positioning...

They should nerf sword and board, rebuff suprise attack and give all the other classes access to some interesting stamina/magicka spammables - I just cant see 30k+ hp sword and board tanks anymore... And can somebody explain me why they buffed hp of everybody...

I guess we found out what the 'killing it' ment

if it goes live it's essentially a '+1 on the death counter for every NB....totally ridiculous! I fear it may be unsub time for me

Victor_Blade

Stamblades back to being the best class for 1v1s and duels. Now you can't even cast a shield when you're hit by that huge incap hit followed by a surprise attack. Time to change my ulti from soul harvest to incap!!!

Daedric_NB_187

Bet y'all wish it was back to how the skill originally was huh? Lol. I'm laughing at everyone bitching about this skill. And all your whining got you was this. Lol. I hope this goes live so I can see the forums drown from the tears.

jypcy

I mean, it’s a cool, thematic idea... but way overpowered, especially at such a cheap cost.

MellowMagic

Here i was thinking they would be finished with the nightblade this patch and maybe were gunna move on stamsorc or stamplar but nope lets give nbs another insane buff.

Sanguinor2

So stamblade now essentially has the best class Mitigation, huge burst, deletes magicka in a 1v1 by Pressing 1 button and the best snare removal ability in the game. In Addition they also got a Sustain buff, please ZOS I know Gilliam likes stamblade but this is a bad joke at best.

More like he likes tankblades...

xaraan

Yeah, this is one of the worst ideas they've had. Balancing in this game is not going well. We can definitely see it wasn't all the fault of the last guy in charge.

PureEnvelope35

I thought the shield cast time was a bad idea but holy god damn this is by far the most brain cell killing change I've seen in a while...

Scamh

Was reading pts notes and stopped at incap changes, to shout WTFs in all caps in multiple discords.

Sizaansil

I had to read it 4 times to believe it

nuttytom

This change just cant go through, this is so much worse than defile lol

VoiDGhOs7

Rumors say this change comes from Gilliam a bleedblade main.

maybe nightblades will finally learn how to play their class right instead of being t-bagged by my casual templar butt while posting to the forums lol.

usmcjdking

Not particularly bothered by this change, moreso bothered that silences/disarms and dispels are too rare to begin with.

Also, Silences should not have ANY impact on weapon skills, regardless of their cost origin. That is what disarming is for - something you don't have in the game.

crjs1

The most ridiculous change to date

Iskiab

How long is a dodge roll? A bit longer then 1 second? Is two dodge rolls long enough to outlast it?

Contraptions

There's no CC immunity on Silence right? So theoretically multiple NBs could chain silence a single target by timing their incaps...

oh great.

casparian

This change apparently wasn't run by the class reps. Why does ZOS even have the program if they're going to push through massive changes like this without running it by the people who understand the game?

You can still get 6k weapon dmg on heavy armor stamblade tho, with capped resistances, minor protection, 15% dmg reduction from grim Focus, Major Evasion, Rally, best snare removal in the game, thats hardly a "tankblade" thats a flat out brokenblade.

Marcus_Thracius

mmmm I love this - my ganker is happy for this change
Screw those pet sorcs and the spamming purge templars

Hyzock

I don't even know what to say anymore. I already thought the grim focus change was horrible, but now i have no hopes left for the future of pvp balance in this game.

Sandman929

It feels like under-represented debuffs are put into a hat and one get's pulled out. First Mangle, now Silence. If it's not that simple I'd love for some more developer feedback on this one.

technohic

This is freaking broken. Seriously WTF? You get opened on and cannot defend yourself at all on a magicka character. Meanwhile, acceleration was going to get magicka closer to par for small man. Not now. You are at a severe disadvantage as magicka even worse than before. Even Sorcs will melt when their shield gets silenced.

@ZOS_GinaBruno You guys are out of your minds.

Sarousse

Do you realize that several devs supposed to know their game gathered up around a table for HOURS to take the decision to make this totally out of control and unbalanced change ?

I'm totally amazed. And we thought the worse was behind us with Wrobel departure. LOL.

Hexys

Every time again I hope they do something about performance, for 4 years long.

Every new patch should bring some hype and mostly kept me personally playing. But it's the nerfs over and over that just make it less enjoyable every patch. The 1 second cast time on shields, now this. It doesn't matter anymore if it get's reverted or not. Putting this in the PTS is just...
