Grim Focus:
This ability and its morphs no longer need to be activated to generate stacks, as they will now generate stacks any time you meet their original requirements simply with the ability slotted on either bar.
Increased the cost of the special activate to 1890, up from 1350, to make up for the fact that you no longer need to activate the buff portion of these abilities.
These abilities now all use consistent naming and icons, rather than having separate names for the active versus stacking portions.
Updated the tooltips to mention that fully charged Heavy Attacks grant double stacks.
These abilities will now highlight on your ability bar when you are at full stacks, rather than becoming a different icon.
Shadow
Shadow Cloak: This ability and the Shadowy Disguise morph now also grant Major Savagery and Prophecy for slotting on either bar, to help them offer more functionality outside of PvP and to ensure the abilities still offer something when they are being countered.
You've actually done it. I will now quit my Redguard Templar I've been playing since beta to become an NB. Redguard was already treated badly through the patches and neglected. Stamina templar was alright. Truth be told when I became a vampire, I was stealthing all over the place anyways and "ganking" out of it with a bow. So all I have to do is simply move the set from that inferior class onto the NB.
Now I can stack up to 7k constant damage with 50% crit and 30k health and about 20k penetration. Without Balogh. Spectral bow so tasty. It's what I wish power of the light is but I can always crit it up.

Earlier I said that NB cloak had to be put up to standards...uhh...lets forget about that post.
Its going to be the go-to class for brand new players to bring the best players down to their knees. New players rejoice. a 100k gold build can be had and be effective in pvp.

Yeah, my dunmer NB is already partying too. And don't even ask my khajiiti one.

Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.0 -

✭Might as well. With the death of lightning aoe quite a few HA builds could possibly be dead in pve, so let's all load up our nb since nb seems to be the favorite future of zos anyway.

✭✭✭✭✭I really don't understand why they are touching this skills. Ok, Grim focus I can kinda understand, they want to make rotation easier in PvE etc. But why change Cloak ? If they specifically say that the problem is that Shadowy Disguise is being countered too easily and NB are not having any benefit when the skill is countered then... then... there are other ways they can do this.
For example something like: If the Invisibility effects ends early, X thing happen. Maybe some % of resources cost spend on casting it is returned, or you get some movement speed buff... or armour buff... or some other effect.
They just plastered 2 strongs buffs on in and called it a day. It gonna be the reason NB will get nerfed to the ground in the future. I am telling you. I had to live through Elsweyr and it was not plesant being a NB back then. It is so annoing when you look at your class toolkit, and then you end up using weapon/world/guild skills combo becasue that is better than your own class skills. Yes. That is how NB was back in Elsweyr update 3 (or 4) years ago.
So if they over buff a class, then they tend to go with over-nerfing nerf hammers.
And to just add more to it: Consuming Darkness & morphs is sitting quietly in the corner and is like:
Where is my buff ? ? ?Edited by Tommy_The_Gun on July 10, 2023 8:56PM3 -

✭They seriously buffed a class that seriously didn't need it. NB's were already over performing.
And so much for the claim PvE players like to make that they always nerf due to PvP imbalance. Here they are clearly stating that they are buffing the class to help in PvE, and creating an even more extreme imbalance in PvP.9 -
ZOS_HadeostrymodGreetings,
After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's about class mechanics.
Thank you for your understanding1 -

I'm convinced ZoS ignoring Consuming Darkness is a meme to them. I still can't forget u35 and them changing every skill except the ultimate.0 -
