LOL - ZOS adding insult to injury for NBs

Tavore1138

Well based on the last couple of days it looks, to me, as if something changed for NBs in the 1.0.7 patch.

It looks like the abilities for mobs with NB abilities have been fixed while the player ones still do not work.

This is based on for the first time in the game being on the receiving end of surprise attacks, invisibility & teleporting strikes from mobs where I had never actually had this happen before.

Do ZOS have so much hate for NB players that they are now going to taunt us with a message of 'Look guys, this is how much damage you could be doing if your abilities worked like our NPCs do?'

I don't really know what the current situation is in detail, but I decided to leave my NB for a while, started up a DK tank type character, seems the DK tank is doing more dps than my NBs ever did, and nowhere near as squishy. Something definitely needs fixing wrt NBs. They should be squishy, but able to deal out a lot of damage in quick bursts between evasion tactics. I'm just not seeing that damage happen.

Pretty sure i've been on the receiving end of those from NPCs for a while

Must say since the new patch I die a lot more due to abilities not firing off or locking up completly even the basic light and heavy attacks.

I have had npcs kill me when I was at 50% health and yes they were the same level as me. Yet my abilities and my nightblade seems to struggle a lot more.

As always it is the rogue class in mmo's that suffer the wrath of poor coding and nerfs.

I've parked my V4 NB for a while even though I will miss them, going to take them to Cyrodil once in a while & wait for the fixes.

Rolled a DK & a Sorc and so far just rolling through content where I had to work for it with the NB. In a week or two I will see if that carries through the VR stuff too.

@Lox - its the first time I can remember them doing advanced stuff to me & no tigger alerts either, this was some Dremora in Coldharbour.

Yep that's my situation too (although much lower level than you got to!) but as a sword and shield DK at low levels I am facerolling stuff that was difficult for my NB. Nightblades need a bit of TLC to make sure all their skills are working and that they are effective for the playstyles they should be good for - stealth, initially hit heavy, have to evade frequently.
