Too few problems with orthography and capitalisation to be a (Stamina-) Nightblade He also did not stress how awesome his build, rotation, and DPS (in PvP) is. There wasn't even a rage-quit ultimatum
He thinks nightblade is a “D tier class” and that’s hilarious.
What happened is that someone got used to their proc sets fighting for them and can’t handle pressing buttons to kill people. To be fair, playing the game by yourself is kind of hard, when it’s been doing that for you for so long.

Feel free to quote when I said that nightblade is a D tier class.

“Since the idea of nerfing a class with such a kit is rage provoking and buffing the D tier classes clearly isn't happening this should make everyone happy, right?”
I assume you think your class is “D-tier”?
Don’t worry, your proc sets will be back in about a week.

Do think there is any relationship between how you feel about Sorcs and how you feel about Heavy Armor builds? From my point of view Sorcs lose the 2nd most of their kit's power budget by equipping Heavy, behind Nightblade.

It's the perfect class with the perfect kit. While the other 5 are constantly seeking and inventing new ways to build that can fill these gaps, sorc has earned the reputation of "easy" with an answer for everything. Yes, those that have their feelings hurt can tell you how uber high the skill ceiling is too. Don't even get me started on the 1 bar trial bosses running DW/Briar/Pale.
So I present a solution.. Let them all play together! Que sorcs only in pvp content and it should be the pinnacle of skilled play given they lack nothing and therefore have no excuses. Since the idea of nerfing a class with such a kit is rage provoking and buffing the D tier classes clearly isn't happening this should make everyone happy, right? Probably not. But sometimes creativity spawns innovation.

Then you should be aware that they stand out in this test as they stack stats better than any other class, but outside of this test they are not top tier. They are completely beatable btw, you just have to lock them down and Los at range because you won't beat them there. Your op reads as if you got killed on your nightblade by a sorc and instead of being analytical about your loss you decided to complain about it instead and make a nerf thread.

I'm still at a loss about this nightblade thing. I main 2 necros as stam/mag.relentless_turnip wrote: »Augusten15 wrote: »relentless_turnip wrote: »

I never said I was playing a nightblade. I said D-Tier classes aren't receiving buffs.
"Since the idea of nerfing a class with such a kit is rage provoking and buffing the D tier classes clearly isn't happening this should make everyone happy, right?"
Suddenly responses are..
"By the sounds of it your a nightblade 😂"
"Too few problems with orthography and capitalisation to be a (Stamina-) Nightblade He also did not stress how awesome his build, rotation, and DPS (in PvP) is. There wasn't even a rage-quit ultimatum "
"He thinks nightblade is a “D tier class” and that’s hilarious."
So what I'm hearing (despite never discussing) is that nightblade is a D-tier class directly from the folks who are quick to assume that's what its class definition is. If you slow down and read the original post, the only class you can even derive me complaining for a fix about is the necro healing pet.

Hop on a mag sorc yourself. Since I am the clearly better sorc on this forum who still plays this game, I will allow you bring a friend or 2 also on their mag sorcs. We shall then settle how A tier this class actually is.
Also please do Hurry! Offer expires in a week !

Magcro is underwhelming and could definetly use an offensive buff. Stamcro is insanely strong. If someone asks what sets to use on a stamcro the answer is anything you want... They are incredibly strong and have no reliance on sets. Complaining about sorcs when by your own admission you main necros is absurd. It only enforces the idea of a learn to play issue that was already very apparent from the OP.

Thank you for thoughtful responses. This is was an inappropriate thread for this discussion, but I've felt that Nerf Heavy was just the inverse to Nerf Sorc for a long time, and we had discussions in other threads about whether Heavy should receive a Maim per piece and whether "tanks should be tanks".
I agree with your responses, but feel as though you could replace Sorc with Heavy DD in your responses and they would still read accurately. Heavy Armor passives have not caused the proc meta, the proc sets have, a Maim on Heavy Armor is not an appropriate solution to the proc meta. The meta would shift to running proc sets in all Medium and Light. A Crimson meta would be replaced by an Unleashed meta. Hunter's Venom and Caluurion's are very popular as it is. Heavy armor is one mean of defense, and at least on Xbox, a number of heavy armor damage sets, both stat and proc, have been around since Day 1. Alessian is a defensive set, like Armor Master, popular in light, and these should limit your damage and your sustain by way of not providing damage and resources. If we say Heavy Armor is absolutely for tanking, and so each piece should reduce damage, then do we look at Harness Magicka and Empowered Ward as the next targets for making sure tanking tools are limited to tanks only? When damage shields were given resistance scaling at Murkmire (?) I recall part of the reason was to encourage the use of damage shields as tools for tanking. If we can't have DDs and Tanks sharing methods, then we can't, but this separation won't be completed with only the deletion of the Heavy DD. Restore Health potions are a tool for tanks, not DDs, they use Weapon and Spell Power pots. Should dealing damage not be something we include within the scope of "tanking" in PvP? How would you compare the tactical relevance of Harbinger's to Vanguard's Challenge?
