Update 39 was anti-quality of life for nightblades, removing the counter was a horrible idea, there's a lot of situation where you can lose track of stack, like if the boss hitbox moves and the light attack don't hit it, and you can't tab target in a lot of fights because you must change target or go to do mechanichs. Also, you can't be tracking the stacks you may or not may have after each fight...
The counter being on the buffs/debuffs is also a horrible idea, are you aware of how many buffs and debuffs you have on a trial?? and those are constantly changing position, I don't know who gets the idea but please remove that change.
As said before, the last update was all but quality of life for nightblade players.
