    its CLEARY obvious that movement speed is more important than a tactic that can make a player almost impossible to kill..... how in sheogoraths name could you not know this??????? you have failed me!!!

    Bump for documentation of how poor ZoS prioritization is.

    PSA to First-time-mmo-development-managers:

    Stop picking low hanging fruit to make it easier for your devs, and start picking the fruit your paying customers are demanding that you fix. The "fix" for us is to stop sending your team money, meaning you have to find new jobs.

    Shield stacking is good. Just a bunch of nb crying in here apparently. Give nb a class shield and be done with it.

    Boo hoo I can't sneak at mount speed anymore. Get over it.

    I'm a Shieldcerer. It's funny that you don't hate on DK for shield stacking when they have basically the same exact class shield as a Sorc, but do not use it as often because they don't need to. Heals + Resource management is more powerful than shield stacking.

    How is anyone complaining about one of the only widespread mechanics in the game right now that increases the Time to Kill factor? OH YEAH, that's right! Because one class can't use it, which is the NB..... So give NB a shield and all is well in the world, like I said.

    They already have when they nerfed streak because of light armor abuse, making it close to useless on my play style of choice which was 2h/bow medium armor Sorc.

    I was actually hoping this wasn't going to be yet another PvP game where sustain builds > all. Yes, NB's need a class-based shield, but the bigger issue is how survivable some builds are in PvP. It is only going to get worse as gear/levels/hp grows.

    Stop man. You must not have played any other classes. Sorcerers magicka efficiency, damage mitigation and speed are out of control.

    I don't know if I can agree with you. Time To Kill is an important factor in any game with PVP, and the TTK is ESO is pretty darn low. Without shields running, with 3k HP, I can die in less than a second to a NB. It is a bit more than a second to the NB, but Lethal Arrow has some travel time to it so that I see all the dmg at once.

    You're right. I've never played another class. What I have done however is played a Sorc in PVP longer than all but a handful of players out there and I know it very well.

    No Sorc can bolt escape 20 times or even remotely close to that. I can Bolt Escape for half of that and there isn't a non-emperor sorc in the game who can do it more than me. My crystal frags in full legendary gear hit for 749.

    If you want to present an argument, use facts, not garbage.

    There was point here (1:17) were BE was cast 17 times, while casting other spells.



    I rest my case.

    Doesnt matter what you say, right now a NB or Sorc can surprise attack you and if youre baddarse enough (like myself) you live through their wannabe gank....then when you try to counter them they bolt off or hide/speed away.

    Let me tell you something Zeni. Your staff skipped the video game course on counterplay. If someone commits to attacking you then you should have a reasonable time to counter them.

    Yeah with two potions, magicka return from harness magicka and over a minute of time with magicka return.

    I could cast Bolt escape far more than 20 times if I were to wait 4 seconds between each cast. Any class could cast ANY spell every 4 seconds an infinite number of times. What's your point?

    If I cast Bolt Escape as fast as I can press the key I get 9 of them, 10 if I'm lagging some and had an extra regen tick in.

    I don't even know why I'm debating your absurd charges anyways.

    I have to disagree with it being a shield, idon't really like the notion of all the classes having a number of spells that make them resemble one another.
    Whether you play the Nightblade as a rogue or not, the NBs thing is stealth and shadow and the major issue I see is that the only real thing differentiating NB stealth from other classes stealthing is Dark Cloak/Shadowy disguise. maybe we'll get some more stealth skills with the Thieve's Guild and Dark Brotherhood lines but those will also be open to all classes as well.

    Add to this the fact that Templars and DKs can simply mitigate or heal out of a rough fight and Sorcerers can lelboltescape!1 away, while NBs get an invisibility spell that is immediately broken by Mage Light, which is essentially a standard in PvP; NBs definitely need something, I'd prefer more sneaky options and wouldn't likely use a shield myself.

    Edit: To add, this was also a major selling point for me with Night's Silence/Dark Stalker: the ability to actively avoid fights that others could just as easily escape.

    I dont care for your bolt escape. I could counter it with my NB. COULD IF NOT EVERY SINGLE ABILITY I COULD USE FOR IT WOULD BE BROKEN!!

    For NB essential skills are broken and all to disadvantage to the NB. Especially Shadow Cloak. And fear in which block persists...useless lol. Medium armor doesnt really give advantages to light and heavy for sneaking. Either the passives are bugged or it doesnt work as intended. In addition mage light is insanely strong compared to armor passives and light armor with sharpening on weapon with bugged calculation negates all spell resist. These bugs and inbalances are in since release and nobody cares for it.

    If all NB abilities would work I would say NB is ok although things are there like undefeatable DKs, overlight speed sorc, instant heal templars stand there with 5% health blocking stacking shields and regenerate their health to 100% in an instant without anything you could do against and do more dps with aoe skills than you single target. I could counter it with ambush, shadow cloak and fear. But its all broken. As NB you have the choice between killing in 2 secs or die and use heavy armor + shield and stand there blocking and spam funnel health which is bugged as well...lol what an assassin stand there and 360° block with heavy armor. Already everybody else stands there and block. Even I stand there and block and even with my glass cannon NB I can kill 3 ppl in a row if they dont. AND THIS REALLY SUCKS!!! Its not the fix of sneak speed stacking, nothing works fine for NB class but at least the sneak speed was fun.

    I mean its fine they fixed it but this wasnt game breaking campared to the endless list of other crap which is still ingame since release.
