Nightblade tank has been getting nerfed every patch for a year now. Zos sees nightblade as a glasscannon class and contantly nerfing the survivability of the class. This doesn't only effect nb tanks but also affecting the nb players that want to play bulkier builds in pvp. What is the point of these constant nerfs without giving a single buff in return.

    This is a nerf that is based on absolutely nothing. So whiny guy complained about it again and got heard. Why? Because The conversation with ZoS is always very one-sided. And then they have to pick the stuff that gets the most complaints.

    Here I am, wondering how you're able to use Streak on a nightblade tank. :smile:
    PC EU: Magblade (PvP main), DK (PvE Tank), Sorc (PvP and PvE), Magden (PvE Healer), Magplar (PvP and PvE DD), Arcanist (PvE DD)
    PC NA: Magblade (PvP and PvE every role)

    Maybe ZOS made the same mistake and thought Streak was on Nightblade, so they went ahead and nerfed it. It all makes sense now.

    NB tank died years ago man. Once they nerfed syphoning strikes, then nerfed major evasion into a ground aoe buff or what ever the hell it is now. That was basically gutting NB tanks from its unique and strong qualities as a tank.

    Not even just nightblade tanks, NB brawler builds have been using this ability to avoid the niche of the cloaking around meta that’s the stigma of the class. Why are we choosing to punish the healing of the ability? My Sorc is already infinitely better than my Magblade in pvp and as a day 1 mnb I struggle to have fun with the class. It has its fun abilities like shadow image but changes like this make it pretty hard to want to play him over my msorc or magden when I can do virtually everything my mnb can do, just better. I love nb but ZoS has slept on mnb for far too long for pvp. Sucks to see when trying to come back to this game.

    I agree, cloak is a one sided skill it is a waste of skill slot if you want to play brawler, I would love to play a brawler stamnb but with the 500 heal you get from dark cloak it is pointless. Zos is forcing nightblades to gank, spam roll dodges and shadow cloak then run away.
    I guess we need to wait until they kill tanky nightblades for good and then overbuff the class like they just did with templars.
