Nightblades need a buff

tommyshelby · September 2015

I just want to share my opinion regarding nightblades' glaring lack of escapability. Cloak only lasts about a couple seconds and WORST of all is that damage reveals the nightblade. Sure, it can be spammed for awhile but it doesn't offer any healing or restore any stamina. IMO, cloak should last around 10 seconds, heal for 500 health per second, and restore some stamina. It isn't fair that cloak can only be used 10-12 times before draining magicka, meanwhile your stamina is slowly restoring at its regular pace.

he really IS on a roll.

Sorry lol.

IrishGirlGamer · September 2015

You got me ... first thread I looked at on the forum.

Sigh.

tommyshelby · September 2015

Kobaal must be a DK or sorc because he clearly DOESN'T KNOW what it is like to try to escape and occasionally be unable to.

Cloak need to generate ultima while stealthed too....

Scyantific · September 2015

Hell let's just give NBs an instant "I win" button. How's that for a buff?

E: Fights in Cyro should be "Nightblades only, Final Destination, no items."

Double take, shadow image, dark cloak, mass hysteria, cripple.. I mean, if only we had something to get out of tight situations. I agree, please buff.

I think it should also provide a damage cloud aura like lightning form. Maybe over 9,000 damage per second while standing next to me.

Finally,A thread that tells how weak NB are...
When a class as no good heal then that class is weak (not when the stamina nerf )
Rally was the main ability for my NB (at least it gives decent self heals)and now its useless so I shifted from Stam to magicka build and my NB dies in 1min from NPC boss and for PvP......not a single soul is there in cyrodiil (I have not bought the IC,so they are there) and not to mention as soon as I login the game lags like hell(thanks ******* zos,for this lag)
So,I am enable to play the ******* game. Thank you ZOS,You finally managed to **** this time.

Well,I got the joke and it is refreshing to to see NB buff in it.

Really cant believe this thread but then again maybe its because I am a sorc in light armour. Night blades love to kill me because it takes them less than 3 seconds to kill me. Maybe if I was in a battle that lasted a minute or 2 and they just out skilled me I would be like, "That was a good battle that DK was just better than me" or "That Templar knew his stuff it was a good match" I would agree. But with a NB its like oh he killed me in 3 seconds I almost got off an attack that I dislike NB so much.

Plus the invisibily option is the best escape ever. Yes second best is bolt escape but invisiability kicks its ass. most of the time I bolt escape I anger a load on NPC's who either finish me off or leave me running and hiding for the next 5 mins.

My class needs a buff and your filthy, pleb class needs a nerf.

My advise to you my good friend:

Hardened Ward + Dampen Magicka + Healing Ward (put some CP into Bastion. These will give you a damage shield of at least your entire health bar)

Then once in a while you can weave light attack + instant crystal frag + mages wrath when they get low.

You can also do Proxy plus streak for groups.

When your ult is up drop Dawnbreaker of smiting.

Rince, Repeat.

I just created a Sorc earlier this week. He's currently vr2 right now.

Yeah pretty much this and remember to curse a NB as often as possible.Curse goes through stealth and knocks them back out. Also try not to rid ea horse alone or be standing around not shielded. throw daedric mines around yourself too

rhubbert_ESO · September 2015

Last night I walked up to a safe zone door with 2000 TV Stones ready to be banked when a DC Templar came up to me spamming spear after spear. Thanks to dark cloak I juked and humiliated him. Nothing beats being a NB in the IC.

Lolololol. This was specially the case in 1.6 with bow+dodgeroll+doubletake and sorcerers bolt spamming. Priceless xD

Paradox · September 2015

I can't stop laughing at this post. I really can't.

I invite you to tell us all... Aside from a Sorc, which class has a reliable escape? Which has a reliable self heal that doesn't need to be spammed? Which class is capable of walking through areas without threat of pulling mobs or being seen?

Dude, if they're not your thing, then play sorc... The other viable class. Nightblades are incredibly powerful right now, compared to the other classes. Dks are dead. Templars are... Half way to decent.... Sorcs are good... Nightblades are great.

SeptimusDova · September 2015

Every class has a reliable escape. Pull the power plug on the system Power supply
