Which Base Class Needs a Buff?

ArcVelarian

The question is pretty straightforwards. Which Base Class needs a buff? For a while now it definitely feels like certain ones have been intentionally gutted to make the premium classes (Warden and Necromancer) look better.

Easily DKs. Keep being thrown into the pit while the other classes stay fairly balanced. Cept probs stamsorcs. They need love too.

Suna_Ye_Sunnabe

Nightblade

Nightblades have been laughably neutered over the years, as have sorcs and dks in pve. I would certainly like liquid lightning to be relevant again, and dks dearly need a cost reduction...as all other magic pve classes received one for their class aoe dots. Not everyone wants to be shoehorned into running elfbane.

But let’s not forget about the passives. They stole - s t o l e - something from bosmers and argonians.

We want that back. And free Finedrin.

Icaruzs

Sorcerer

Mag Sorc in pve seems with no damage. The class was nerfed so much during the years that is not fun anymore.

Liquid lightning nerf, pets nerf, shield nerf, dark magick tree most of skills being for pvp content and so on. Also sorc passives are horrible

stamsorc

Nightblade

nb for me personally has the worst flow or rythm

Ulthlian

Dragonknight

DKs of course. Please rework some useless passives and skills already

Stamblade has no real heals anymore with the recent battlespirit changes, they need a class HoT other then dark coak...also fix shadowy disguise, it breaks if someone looks in your general direction.

Stam DK would be nice. Would be nice for builds other than the sword/shield impossible to kill one to be more useful in PvP. Our reliance on dots make it kinda hard to get that burst out when we need it.

Nightblade

Nightblades. No class got nerfed so hard over the last few years. A lot of people mention DK, but DK is in a pretty good spot this patch and also benefits greatly from the broken ultimate. Actually, no class is in a bad spot except NB.
And I play a lot of magsorc, NB's were once feared enemies with their burst potential but are nothing more than yummy snacks these days.

What perspective is this from? PvP or PvE?

Tommy_The_Gun

Nightblade

Out of all classes ? Definitely Nightblade, both mag & stam.

Red99

Pvp perspective to everyone who say stamina nightblade: L2P..insane burst and now with base crit resistance u can use 3-4 well fitted for perma roll dodge

Faulgor

PvE, Sorcerers.

PvP, probably Nightblades.

Nemesis7884

Nightblade

I couldnt even answer what the identity of any given class SHOULD be besides nb as a single target stealth striker

Most of the people in here are probably talking about pve performance I assume. Because in PvP %50 of population is nightblades these days. You can't play in IC without getting sweaty because some nb around the corner trying to hunt you down %100 of the time. Same goes for cyro, nightblades are quite stronk there too.
I play stamsorc but even though I only use few class skills, passives are quite good. Sure it could be better but I make do.
Magdk are quite strong too, wherever you go there is a magdk with grothdarr running around these days.
Haven't seen many stamdk though, and the ones I saw weren't as good as other classes.
Templar and nightblade doesn't need a thing for pvp, alongside with magdk these 3 classes are the most of the population in Cyrodiil.

Stamina templar still has worst stamina class healing, I kill stamplars a lot faster than any other stamina class.

notyuu

Sorcerer

I don't even play sorc and I'm well aware that stamsorc needs help.

Mayrael

Nightblade

NB - especially when it goes to class identity. NBs lost its uniqueness because of giving everyone access to fear, ambush/lotus fan, cloak, grim focus, refreshing path which has been completely gutted and given to templars as a ritual of retribution, NBs are the only class with 2/3 of ultimates having cast times.

SshadowSscale

Nightblade

I would have to go with nightblades on this..... Especially magblade..... I do not know if any other class has been butchered like magblades has and it seems like zos intends to keep on beating the dead horse as magblade is directly or indirectly neutered even more... I know sorc like to complain about how their class has been nerfed but they still do not even come close to how much zos butchered magblades

LightningWitch

Nightblade

My opinion is the NB needs to be fixed, or the better word: restored.

[snip] If they make it as strong as it's designed to be, they cater to those who can't defend against stealth attacks by nerfing the hell out of it, making it one of the most useless classes in the game to play.

To compensate for the "gank kill", they power-creeped the hell out of the NB, giving it the one class which can do exceptional damage (until Necros get nerfed).

The problem with this design flaw: it takes away what the NB is designed to do: slash and dash.

I had to stop playing the NB because I'm just not flexible enough to work controller buttons to "weave" the damage numbers my class is expected to make. 70k? That's freaking absurd and this is not what an NB is supposed to do.

When the skills were literally changed, the play style was destroyed. It's been disappointing playing this class because of all the damn changes.[snip]

I'm truly baffled by the hypocrisy of development which says "Here, have more power" then immediately take it away because the game has to be slowed down.

Enough of this. [snip]

Pve stamblade and pvp magblade imo, both sorcs are doing extremely good, plars also, but if we lose bfb pve magdk would be in a first row for a serious sustain buff to be even viable.

Kadoin

Nightblade

There are simple buffs they can do to improve the class in pvp and pve or at least give them something over what they have now...

Red_Feather

Nightblade

I didn't find it unique or fun to play.

Ryuvain

Sorcerer

Put sorcerer since it doesn't have any spammable whatsoever. But dragon knight pve needs help too.
Been playing nightblade and its fun.

Casul

Nightblade

While I disagree with warden being brain dead OP anymore if I had to go with base classes I would say nightblade. My advice, remove the reliance on cloak. Increase class mitigation and healing while nerfing cloak. Also honestly make it so incap is an AoE stun at 120 and a single target stun at 75.

Give us back blinding flashes and major mending!
