    Played right, they are all pretty well balanced (almost). True, DK could use some love, but they are still very formidable.

    Yea i agree. Dragon knights were pretty amazing before but with all the nerfs idk man. Some moves just dont seem that usable and most of the same moves are on other WORLD skill trees. Of course i still love my dk but your right they could use a little love.

    Awsome! So true... not for me, I was never a DK, but they have been messed with. Other than that though it's all pretty good imo!

    I've just started on a DK so will have a better feel for them soon.

    I put neither.

    I think all classes right now are in pretty good spots.

    HOWEVER, I think certain roles have been gimped to absolute oblivion. Tank, to be straightforward about it. Primary role for DK, secondary role for Templar. This role has been hammered so incredibly bad that it's almost not even worth it. The only redeeming factor is I can go into game and type V16 Tank LFG and get a group within 5 seconds.

    While they certainly aren't very good at all, I wouldn't say they are broken. They are mostly gimped versus certain abilities which overperform (cloak, cleansing ritual, purge, sorc shields).

    I can see your point with that. Yes magic DK are definitely gimped.

    Im a say none, lots of builds counter other builds. However if you duel, magicka dk needs help. Stamina dk's are still good.

    I hate the dueling scene, probably the reason so many of these terrible nerfs happend to begin with.

    People who stack 100% damage are to blaim. No build variety these day's.

    Underpowered for what?

    Nightblades are underpowered for soloing craglorn and ic, but are one of the best in pvp.

    Templars are the ultimate solo class.

    Be more specific.
    Bosmer Stamina NB
    Altmer Magicka TEMP
    Dunmer DK both stam/mag (depends what I feel like)
    Altmer Magicka NB
    Breton Magicka Sorc
    Redguard Stam Sorc

    Just a word of advice. First thing to ask yourself in a nerf/buff thread if you are weak in PVE & PVP. If the answer is no to either one, then the issue isn't the class itself, there are mechanics that are seriously hindering your ability to perform.

    DK was originally designed with dynamic ulimate generation and hybrid builds in mind, but was never fully updated after the removal of softcaps and dynamic ult gen. So I think it's about bringing it up to date with the current state of the game.

    For example NB and Magicka Sorc have a lot of overall loadout synergy within their skill kits. DK lacks that overall cohesion (outside of Magicka DK in PVE).

    So it's not just about being underpowered and needing larger numbers on skills. It's about giving a more meshed set of skill choices that complement each other.

    Good point. The move from softcaps to no-softcaps/static Ult gen really did impact DKs more than other classes. I would love to see their skills and passives reworked accordingly to bring them up-to-date. I feel that Templars are in a good spot right now, though. They are not nearly as impacted by the changes.

    Templars are certainly in a better place, but they are middle ground between DK and the rest. Bumping DK up would make them the new bottom. I think rather then just let them stand at that point, it's better to elevate them slightly as well and sure up areas they lack in. Somewhere between molbility, damage mitigation and at more direct CC.

    Maybe ONE of those things, yeah (mobility, mit, CC.) Given our insane healing and group support abilities, I think anything other than baby steps and/or small, incremental changes in this sense could overpower us. My easy fix: Just give us back Blinding Flashes. Done :)

    I dont know that that is even true when you factor in the diversity of skill combos on top of cp diversity

    I feel like the overall class and skill power balance is out of whack. Crazy power spikes and some completely unusable skills. It would all need to be comprehensively re-examined. I wouldn't comment on any particular class or skill without detailed statistics on their current performance though.
