Why play anything other than a NB?

    My reason behind creating a night blade? Because night blade is the only class I was yet to play. Thought night blades would be handy for the Imperial City too.

    NB is nice to play if you like to play on your own - it is less of a team class IMO. And it is somewhat a life style as well, seeking your advantage from stealth and go for a quick kill, grab the loot and disappear again, that is not anyone's favorite. Some even call this unfair, but like Sun Tzu said in "the art of war", don't start a fight if you haven't already won it - and this is especially true for the nightblade class. An attack should just be done, when the chance to win is almost 100%. And this makes war different from a combat sport - it is not fair and it should not be fair.

    Playing NB because it's the class i started with... have no desire to lvl another one.

    A lot of people choose their classes based on popularity of it and how strong it is and then cry then it's getting nerfed.

    I play only NB and sorceress and I am pretty satisfied with both, DK and Templar are just not appealing to me, but I never tried those. Both of my favorite classes play differently though, NB is more for solo play, sorceress is good for teams as well.

    I won't play my NB anymore for the simple fact, there are OP. It's unfair on how they can just get away when being attacked. If you want to hide and be scared, run a nightblade. You can also kill a person within sec!! I have been hit by a nightblade so many times where I could not break lose or move to avoid anything. If I can break lose they just shadow strike you again and again. So have fun NB. It won't last forever.

    Detect pot or Piercing Mark and the NB is dead within a second as well.

    Stam NBs can cloak 3-4 times in a row, if you cant counter that you're doing something wrong.

    What's the verdict on Radiant Magelight?

    It takes up too much space on your skill bars to slot imo but it has the same effect as detect pots.

    It's way more cost effective than det pots now. I use it to clear keeps, when doing daily quests since as a Temp I only need at most 4 other skills anyways, or as a support player when hunting with a group.

    If a NB can escape the AoE spam, then he was a little effeminate kitten and not worth my time. Go lick your wounds behind a tree, cowards.

    My post was actually tongue-in-cheek but you got me good. I actually laughed hard.
