    I blame the siege dmg nerf. Siege dmg should be high, so everybody get access to high dmg. Also lack of siege dmg means its easy time for glasscannons now, you can be in front row and stay alive. Also if siege dmg was higher, that would be the main thing to hate, universal, universal I mean, everybody get access to it, we dont need class vs class battles right. This is how we planned it pre PC launch but Zen loves to change their style. Those people who get pissed over PVP, let them hate siege weapons, what they can use themselves, if they choose to do so.

    I don't play Cyrodiil that much but , nah they don't bother me. I was in IC about a week ago and there were two of them that thought it would be funny to gank me over and over again. After about the 6th time, when if figured out where they were hiding, I killed one of them with my DC Templar and the other one went running like a scared rabbit. I didn't see them again, but some lucky AD person got to go home with their stones. If you don't mind dying and don't care about how many stones you leave with, you can have some fun in IC. While it didn't bother me to die 6 times in a row, I take satisfaction in knowing that they were mad as all get out by dying the one time especially when it was two ganking NB against one sub par Templar.

    I guess the old saying is true, its all fun and games until someone dies.

    I'm fed up with them ganking outside the Ic entrance it's one thing if they do get me inside Ic but if you can't even get inside Ic then wants the point of the Dlc but if that's how the weak Ep players want to earn ap so be it

    except in this game high damage also = high healing.

    DPS = healing

    Nope it makes no sense but that's what you get when you dumb down TES.

    My kill recounts say there are only about 10% more NB's than the other classes running around in pvp.
    Nightblade is a strong class right now for both stam and magicka.
    The other classes can't really boast that.
    So, kinda makes sense.

    It doesn't bother me in the slightest. There is always a most played class in EVERY mmo. There's no "fix" to this as long as there are classes(and even without them you'll keep running into whatever is the most popular build).

    It makes the "kill 29 nightblades" quests easier, especially since they are so squishy (and I play one too).

    Now if we can get some bad players to roll DKs, that's usually the quest that takes the longest.

    I would almost say it's too hard a counter. Imagine an ability that mitigated half of a sorc's DPS and nullified their escape (if you know of anything send it on in a private msg pls)!!

    wait didnt original poster have a hard on for nerfing DKs now suddenly he is tired of seeing NBs...Thats what happens when you nerf classes they become less favorable to play and i change to my fotm alt.

    What did you think was going to happen? I would just play the marshmallow filled punching bag when i can switch to a class that can actually gap close, execute, movement speed buff, and has 2 really strong escape skills?

    was i meant to just stick with it, wearing heavy armor whilst people are stacking 22%+ armor penetration before CP?

    Cost a precious skill slot, two if you want to maintain the toogle. While toggled, your Max Magicka is reduced by 5%. Sorcs can mitigate 50% or more of anyone's DPS already. The way I deal with them is flappy flappy and let them go away, too annoying class to waste time fighting with.

    No. More. Nerfs.

    Edit: And no, not really. Bad NBs are the easiest enemies to kill and at least fights are quick and decisive either way. I personally find Templars more annoying to fight against, but I accept that's a L2P issue cos I don't play Templar and hence don't even recognise all the skill visual cues.

    I was an NB from day 1.
    I am not tired of NBs
    I am tired of the broken FOTM jockeys looking for the Iwin button.
    The more hardcore this game becomes.....the worse its going to get.

    All we need is faction, class and race swap to make it even more monotone.

    You could use that set that just completely bypasses the classes only defence. If you know a set that just stops nb's going into cloak let me know.

    Yes, most players will run whatever class have an "oh mi gosh" feature, no matter how it is. They watch streamers and go for the class like Justin Bieber fans. That's normal in any MMO, so whilst I find it silly, it doesn't bother me. I play DK since launch and I love it, will keep playing no matter how many nerfs they throw. That said, the fate of NBs are pretty clear, they will get a nerf due all the yelling. Very sad as the right thing to do would be BUFF all classes AT SAME TIME. The cinematic characters are OP af, why can't we all be OP for epic battles. Nerf = Boring combat.

    I'm all for better class balance...but pls don't just buff everyone. The game is already so stupidly easy in pve. Good groups just faceroll everything, which isn't healthy for the game at all...
