I still think, that defensive stance is more dangerous in some situations. Imagine both combined, DKs could never be killed by mages. You have to time your attacks right and exploit the moment, when his scales ran out. But if the dk has defensive stance active.... he will be unkillable with both and if he reapllies everythingluckily, nobody seems to do this.
Maybe because you don't have idea what the *** are you talking about and that combo sucks anyway. Nowdays, any decent sorcerer will only frag you if you are already cced or know you have wings down, most of the time will curse, force pulse, channeled lighting atack, magicka detonation, mines... No projectiles needed to kill a magicka DK, that will have an extremelly dificult time to go thru stacked shields, even if he does then sorcerer will streak away laughting.
PS: and mages wrath, you can't reflect those.
Calm down.....
That combo is great. If a Sorcerer manages to kill you completely without frags, then you should questions yourself instead.
The range of melee attacks is bigger than the range of mines, curse can be outhealed easily, same with lightning heavy attacks. And you can still block things. And Mage's wrath ? Really ? Don't tell me this bolt harms youBtw, mage's fury execute is blockable now even though it makes no sense.
I am not complaining about Sorc vs DK. I just mentioned, that DK can heavily counter Sorcerers. But Sorcerer on the other can also counter Dks a bit.
This reminds me. I recently brought my non-vet dk to vet just to do something different. My group was at arrius (dc owned) but went elsewhere but I stayed behind. I managed to break in the front door and was working on the outter when 2 vet sorcs (ep) came in and tried to kill me. I was able to have an enjoyable conversation with text chat with my group about what was going on as they tried to kill me. Its fun to build heavily for defense but battle leveling doesn't give enough sustain sadly.

It's so great that " luckily, nobody seems to do this."
Cloak did not get nerfed.
I agree that Scales are one of the most overpowered abilities in the game, cloak is one of them as well.
But each class has strong survival tools. Nightblade cloak, DK scales, Sorc hardened ward, Templar self heal.
And as a Nightblade, why would you even care for scales ? Your main damage comes from your iressistable melee attacks.

Because he probably sits in a bush using snipe and kills himself.
