    Yea. Bonus to health and stamina really helps with hybrid builds.

    Sorry but I'm not all that impressed, you are basically shield bashing every 5 secs (yes, I know it's shielded assault) and those are not the type of players I face, I usually get gang ***** by 4-5 ppl spamming talons SoM, bats and impulse/pulsar.

    Your mods are also playing half the game for you, telling you when to cleanse, when exactly your ult is ready, when your low, etc. Might as well go the extra step and make a mod to also hit all the buttons for you at the right time.

    Really nice video. I'm interested in knowing more about your build.

    It seems as though anybody that posts videos of themselves doing well in 1vX situations get a lot of detractors, regardless of the class (you, Sypher, and Rendolphe are the names that spring to mind)
    Unsubbed and no longer playing, but still checking the Alliance War forum for the lulz.

    you guys are seriously bashing him for a cloud addon that I have and basically ignore..I don't even see those words..cleanse now!...ultimate ready!...so. what?..I never cleanse or use ultimate when its ready anyways.

    I have an addon that shows a HUGE bullseye too when my target is below 30 % health so I can use executioner....I'm so bad..in such a colorful and artful way :P

    People are sometimes just incapable of enjoying what others make and do. Unfortunately comments like this are the norm for everything in our society, which in turn leads to the herds of people acting like they don't care and having to scrutinize everything that others do.

    But, unfortunately this is not likely to change soon.

    But this video is really good! Great to see the kind of sustain that you have, and that your wearing the forbidden heavy armor :wink: ! People will always have negative things to say, but don't listen to them as they most likely cant do what you are doing in this video. You showed a great display of a NB tank with great DPS output at the same time.

    As NB i can choose my fights, and if cloak works i can leave when i want. Im sorry that you get gank by 5 players but this is how PvP works, people feels safer when they are in group.

    Nope. You can see in video that center of my screen is clear from all addons, because you cant rely on them. My only cleanse (dot only) skill is dark cloak and i use it only when im hit by fire trebuchet, balista or guards dot. Left side of my screen i completely ignore, because in combat im milion times in low stamina/magica/health condition and i prefer to watch my h/m/s bars.

    FTC - for combat text mainly
    Stendarr - for my buffs timer, helps me with trials when you cant see you own effects
    CLS - after combat check or testing
    CombatCloud - im still testing this addon, mainly for comabt text but i prefer FTC for that i think
    Azurah - i like standard target bar and my h/m/s bars appearance, with this addon i can move them, scale etc.

    Defnintely not 7/7 heavy.

    Look at the amount of magicka/stamina he is getting from the constitution passive. 11 points.

    When i am wearing a full suit of heavy, i am getting 24. And his HP is significantly higher in the video than mine(the amount constitution gives increases with max HP and # of heavy armor pieces worn)

    Calculating back from the amount of HP he has, and the amount of resources returned by constitution, he is wearing two heavy pieces (helm and chest, by the looks).

    Judging by the amount of stamina his shield charge consumes, he is not wearing 5 pieces of medium in the remaining slots(his shield charge cost corresponds to no medium armor and two stamina cost reduction enchants)

    So i'd guess he is wearning 2 heavy and 5 light.

    Incorrect. You will never ever see me in dress or even cloth gloves, my destro staff skill is 10 (bookshelf only) and im forced to use resto staff because NB heal and survivability sucks.

    Unmodified shield charge costs 353 stamina(assuming 1h passives are maxed). Your shield charge costs 314 stamina. That means you reduced the cost somehow, by roughly 40 points

    Stamina reduction enchants are 20 points, that's what lead me to think you use 2x that.

    But, thanks for clearing that up :)

    When I read "melee" I was hoping it would be 2hand or dual wield. Oh well.

    Good video, I liked the music and editing was nice. Clips flowed together well and didn't have a ton of flashy crap.

    The quality of opponents was absolutely awful, really the only thing that takes away from this video to me. At one point, there were like 5 enemies all attacking, and I can't imagine what spells they were using to deal such low damage. Also, there were times when you got low on health, someone CC'd you, and then multiple enemies actually ran AWAY from you lol. But you can't really judge too harshly for opponent quality because pretty much every 1vX video features noobs.

    Overall this video is a fine demonstration of how any class in the game can have sustain using sword/board and resto staff.

    NB survivability does not suck, you just have not figured it out yet. I play and watch AD nightblades Krim & Jaegermister rek face on the daily all day errr day, it's all about knowing your class capabilities and how well they work with armor sets and class skills. ESTOY AQUI
