well...they didn't practically nerfed anything..they just buffed everyone else except nightblade so I guess we can only go up? I expect zos to screw something up and make np brokenly op once more! so all good on my side besides bow gankers are a disgrace for pvp! and I main stamblade

too bad they nerfed your playstyle, sitting in safety, 40 metres away from enemies, pressing one button must have been great gameplay

This thread has brought me so much joy.

Looks like you'll have to actually learn how to play the game rather than spamming a single skill from 50 meters away and killing people... and then cloaking away when things don't go favorably.

Seems like a L2P issue.

I am curious. What other single target bow attack is there? Heavy and light? What else?

People spammed snipe, yes, but really is there another attack they should be doing with a bow?

The problem with bow is that it lacks a spammable direct attack other then snipe.

yep it very lacks with just nice instant cast spammable skill
since always for most and for me...many didint like snipe skill in overall even in use but we was forced to this as there was no other good spammable in bow

ofc pvp need l2p gankers will say they liked this skill xD but eside them most people at all never liked to much this skills mainly because of cast time as on spammable

Poison inject. Which also acts like a pseudo execute. I've seen 3k-5k tics on people in pvp at low health. You also have magnum shot/ draining shot.

Poison inject

Not really a spammable. It's a DoT, as opposed to a front loaded attack.

It's arguable that bow is to be used as a primary weapon anyways rather than a support weapon. If you weave poison inject you can do a decent amount of damage. I've killed people with just poison inject/light attack weaves in conjunction with potl on my stamplar. It can be done. It just takes a little more effort than spamming one button.

Awww, I feel sorry for those people, but I also laughed a little too.

Full tanking build are so much fun afterall

Good

BlackMadara

You could use the psyjic skill as a spammable. Snipe should also be more easily weavable

Nightblades are only weak from a class identity perspective, because ZOS decided having classes with actual strengths and weaknesses prevents people from playing how they want. Apparently the rogue based class needs a burst heal and 15% damage reduction.

If you view nightblades as a random assortment of 3 skill lines, then they are strong right now.

templesus

Good. It should deal even less.

I could open a salt mine in this thread. From salty op to all the salty replies.
Please just delete pvp at this point lol

You have been around the forums long enough to know what opening a performance thread or a pvp thread will entail. If you want a low sodium diet, avoid consuming the salty foods.

Heelie

you're not supposed to kill people front distance using one targeted ability, I don't see the problem here.

Yeah nightblades are one of the if not the best designed class in the game tho......

You.can build tanky and have great survivability.

They can gank and go in and out of combat as you wish.

They can utilize a lot of class moves which most classes can't and have to go outside their class skills to use weapon moves......

All of nb passives are great at being offensive and defensive all in one. (A lot of classes have useless passives.)

This last patch focused on nightblades so much necro was released bugged and magic side is klunky and terribly designed especially without add-ons keeping track of your dots. Nightblades are still amazing and highly used while OTHER classes got nerfed.

Templar got nothing but nerfs this last patch, stamsorc still only uses like 1-2 moves from it's skill line, dk lost wings and now is getting murdered from anything long range as they can't close gaps (chains is crap don't say use chains lol). So yeah I would argue they are in a great spot especially compared to most other classes.
