Who'd be a Nightblade?

So, on top of everything else that makes playing a Nightblade difficult:
Although not officially listed, we can add issues with Concealed Weapon to this list too.
Are Zenimax trying to tell me something?
The problem is I want to be a Nightblade and it's my only character; at present though it's hardly playable.
Know Issues for Patch 4
Combat & Gameplay
•All projectiles are breaking Nightblades out of stealth, even if they miss. •STATUS: Will be fixed in patch 1.4.4
•Certain abilities are completely knocking you out of stealth, rather than just revealing you. •STATUS: Will be fixed in patch 1.4.4
•The Night's Silence 5 piece item set is not currently working properly. •STATUS: Will be fixed in patch 1.4.4
•Running while in first-person view currently has a noticeable head-bob. •STATUS: This is an unintended change, and will be removed in patch 1.4.4
•The Restoration Staff appears to be using the wrong animation. •STATUS: Will be fixed in patch 1.4.4
•We've seen reports that the stealth detection radius appears to be larger after the latest update. •STATUS: Identified that Stealthy and Nightshade are currently broken and are causing this issue. We're currently working on a fix.

✭✭✭It's playable. I have played it. Non Playable and non optimized are 2 different things. The main reason I don't actively play a nighblade is because I like tank style characters and not rogue style.Edited by ers101284b14_ESO on September 19, 2014 7:31PM5 -
GrimMauKin✭✭✭✭Fair shout, it's absurdly unbalanced at present though.I am one of The Great Mediocracy, those whose role in life is to provide the baseline by which The Few deem themselves Great.2

This is their way of nerffing Resto staves so NBs have *no* weapon they can use any more...2 -

✭I just use RP to justify the defects. For example my NB bosmer most likely has a wooden leg causing him to be detected.11 -

My Breton NB received a parcel of fermented cheese from her mom last week, so she is unable to hide in corners. The smell gives her away.3 -

Literally only one of those issues is NB-specific.
Just sayin'.0 -
GrimMauKin✭✭✭✭Don't get me wrong, I like NIghtblades too, but the latest patch has significantly weakened them for now.
I'll accept that not all of the issues highlighted are Nightblade specific, but I would suggest that they're fairly common issues for Nightblades in general (stealth not working particularly so). Hopefully things will get fixed soon.I am one of The Great Mediocracy, those whose role in life is to provide the baseline by which The Few deem themselves Great.0 -
Ragefist✭✭✭✭•The Restoration Staff appears to be using the wrong animation. •STATUS: Will be fixed in patch 1.4.4
And that would be the worst nightblade bug we got atm

Greatfellow✭✭✭My nightblade is still playable, just more challenging. Still sucks to have these issues, but I can work around them for the most part. When they fix them playing my nightblade will be Really Easy.1

Fruitmass✭✭✭✭I wouldn't say NB is unplayable. If you rely on stealth a lot yeah your boned until they fix the issues but they aren't totally broken. Just have to change up play style a bit and you'll find they're still viable. In desperate need of love but viable.
I strongly recommend getting familiar with skills like Prolonged Suffering, Soul Tether, Haste, Leeching Strikes, Marked Target and Mirage if you haven't already. It never hurts to be flexible and clever use of those skill can be a big help.

I just hope they fix the detection before the justice system comes out other wise it will be like Skyrim. "Hey I saw you across town steal that radish - you have to pay me 50 gold now." Says the guard0 -
Lazrael✭✭✭Oh yeah its totally playable, unless you want to play at all in the way that comes to mind when you read the word NIGHTBLADE. The class is kinda becoming a joke honestly, albeit not a very funny one.Artists and Theives...0 -
Zhoyzu✭✭✭✭✭But yeah, it'll be nice to play an NB where all skills work as intended and you can actually try out stuff. I do like my main, though.
all at the same time would be nice, but then when they break the class in the next patch well be angrier because we saw what its like when our class isnt broken in one way or another.Zhoyzu - Nightblade Alchemist (v15) RETIRED
Has-No-Heart - Templar Enchanter (v4) FUBAR
Ambadassador - Dragon knight (v1) Naked with no future (returned from the naked realm to tank PvE)
Sakis Tolis - Sorceror (v10 in progress) Living Legend!
Xuhl'Xotuun - Warden Current Main as im starting the game over essentially with this character aside from crafting.

GrimMauKin✭✭✭✭Concealed weapon is not adding its stealth speed bonus when slotted and I'm also getting issue where it occasionally deals no damage at all.I am one of The Great Mediocracy, those whose role in life is to provide the baseline by which The Few deem themselves Great.0

GrimMauKin✭✭✭✭Fair enough, my Nightblade is playable but it is more difficult as I have been working along the lines of a stealth based build. I've got 5 skills point (3 racial, 2 armour) tied up in stealth improvement, none of which actually appear to be doing anything at the moment; with Shadowy Disguise also borked I'm feeling a little vulnerable.I am one of The Great Mediocracy, those whose role in life is to provide the baseline by which The Few deem themselves Great.0
