    Me: different classes should play differently

    Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.

    Except ambush gives you an 8% dmg buff against your target and also empower...

    Each class has abilities unique to it ... it feels bad when your more iconic class abilities are duplicated in skill lines anyone has access to. Two of the NB's more iconic abilities (fear and ambush) are now available to all classes via the generic skill lines. I realize it's not an 'exact' duplicate, but it's close enough that it may as well be. Right now it's two of the NBs more iconic class abilities that got hijacked. So, why should non-NBs care? Because it's only a matter of time before this happens to Templars, DK's, Wardens, Sorcs, and yes, Necros. It's one thing to have to deal with class nerfs, it's quite another thing when your more iconic class abilities are (virtually) duplicated and placed in generic skill lines. That is something we should all be concerned about.

    There is 1 big difference between the NB ability 'ambush' and the generic ambush placed in the dual wield skill line ... and it's NOT the damage caused. As a NB I have to 'pay resources' to use ambush, however, using the same skill via the dual wield skill line is free. Heck, even the animations are identical.

    Here is a screenshot to give you an idea of what I am talking about:

    Sorry, but Dks already suffered that some patches ago with the change to Silver leash, from a gap closer to a pull.

    Not to mention what they did to Wings. Now everyone has wings if they use S/B

    Yep. Feels bad.

    yup, but I agree... the only flavor NBs currently have relies on Lotus...
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    hmmm, a gap closer that executes really sounds as a prety strong contender. In fact it can be a gap closer that executes AND does extra dmg on stunned, feared and inmo enemies
