DK's are DEAD, I could stand in front of a DK, spamming vigor and rally while he was spamming whips,
I will wear 7/7 heavy armor and I shall look heroic as I do so!
Let the Nightblade menace come! I shall throw myself upon their blades a million timers over, they shall fear my unwavering, stoic 7/7 heavy armor warrior!
Let them reduce our armor to zero, let Sharpened be bugged even more with Imperial City, the heavy armor warrior enthusiasts with our Immovable Brute, stamina regen drinks and negative damage shall be unrelenting in our heroism.
Let them take our Alliance Points, let them choke on our Tel Var Stones, they shall never calm our fury nor have our souls!
@zos_eric if you give Dragonknight a stamina whip I shall buy you a drink! It's the only way us 0 heavy armor warrior-knights have a chance against the Nightblade menace.

If your group is bigger than 6 members gain 75% damage reduction.

Care to explain that?
I must be blind because I can't see it.
1. Most of the NB's are stacking armor penetration. All will have 25-30k armor penetration so even wearing 7 pieces of reinforced heavy armor and 100 CP's in heavy armor will give you no protection. Your armor will be reduced to 0.
Separating this from the NB for the moment. I kind of think armor penetration should have a cap just as armor actually has a cap. Someone wearing a full set of heavy armor is making a significant sacrifice for it, they should not be left with nothing for it.
If you haven't already I would highly suggest making or leveling up a NB for IC. It will be LIGHT YEARS beyond all other classes. lets take a look at why.
1. Most of the NB's are stacking armor penetration. All will have 25-30k armor penetration so even wearing 7 pieces of reinforced heavy armor and 100 CP's in heavy armor will give you no protection. Your armor will be reduced to 0. *(this seems to have been addressed)
2. Fear is without a doubt the best CC ability in the game. No other skill comes remotely close to it. It has a long animation so CC breaking is delayed and it even goes through block. THEN has an after effect of reduced speed AND reduced damage.
3. Shadow cloak mixed with path of darkness is the ultimate escape. You cannot target them, cannot attack them because they will be immune if you use detect pots, can't catch them (unless your a sorcerer then all you will be doing is aggroing npcs or use the insanely expensive retreating maneuver in which case you will just aggro npc's AND be short on stamina.) Mage light is worthless.
4. The damage reduction doesn't seem to be effecting the class at all. Because of the opportunity for so many escape options they are still stacking weapon damage through the roof. only requires an extra shot or (god forbid) 2.
5. Despite what many people try and say they can heal themselves more then fine. momentum, resolving vigor, resto staff bubble works better then my honor the dead.
LETS SUM UP.
1. unable to mitigate their damage
2. unable to block their damage
3. can't lock them down.
4. can't target them
5. best escapes (vanish)
6. cheapest ultimate
7. best mobility
8. best passives
9. able to fully heal themselves.
10. biggest damage dealer.
Definitely Roll a NB for IC. its a win.
I think a lot people are getting tired of this. except the nb community who of course will say L2P. To be quite honest I don't think I'll purchase IC with the state that classes are in. But thats just me.
