I am reading the forums on a regular basis and after seeing the many, many threads being brought up, I finally realized something; every class in this game is unkillable!

Yet again the players prove the ongoing issue with PvP in every MMO that every class they aren't playing is unkillable or OP. You would think this would just balance itself out, because, after all, if all classes were unkillable, then no one would be dying, or, clearly the person with more skill would come out on top. (Gasp!)

Sorc bolt escape; Unkillable!
Templar Blazing shield; Unkillable!
DK GDB; Unkillable!
NB killed me in 2 seconds; Unkillable!

It's amazing that anyone even dies in this game!

See how silly this all looks now?

    Well I can't speak for PvP, but in PvE I can def see a difference in classes with my alts, and my NB is the weakest by far.

    I just have to ask out of morbid curiosity: are you, by any chance, running different weapons on your Nightblade than your other characters?

    No actually. I always use a bow. It's my favorite :)

    Some of us aren't complaining about classes but rather very specific, universal abilities and glaring imbalance problems. For instance, everyone and their mom using Immovable (without a single piece of heavy armor equipped) / Bat Swarm to withstand a sustained assault from 10+ players long enough to get a kill or two.

    I understand what you're saying, and it will always be the case, but that doesn't mean there aren't actual issues at play.

    And are you using your Nightblade abilities/passives to synergize well with the bow? Because I assure you, bow Nightblades are doing fine.

    They are in fact the single most powerful single-target burst DPS I've encountered. If they catch you off guard, you're gone before you know what hit you.

    Well I'm not assured, lol. But I respect that you are having a different experience than me. I stick with what I said, which is that my NB is the weakest of my characters.

    Not every build is strong, however, with a couple different builds in particular, with the correct opener, the burst damage is insane.

    NBs aren't even good enough to get an actual OP ability listed.

    armor is unbalanced and so is the Magicka vs stamina.... classes are fine for the most part. Maybe some love for the weapon skill lines and weapon ultimates.

    I don't disagree with that at all. It is silly that people are tanking in light armor, and staying away from stam builds because of the resource issues.

    Thank you.
    I play every class in every situation. I love them all.

    I think they made a good improvement to stamina and the craftier players have already started delivering massive physical damage to clothe wearers. This hasnt caught on yet because noone is investing in Stamina due to the stigma. However, every now and then, you get a beast weapon use who knows what he is doing that punishes a clothy for showing up half dressed to a heavy armor party.

    I love how people damage stack and then whine when they meet a class that can survive them through survivability and tactics.

    Maybe, just maybe, it shouldn't be easy to kill.
