    It's cause of RML now making is so NBs can't cloak for 5 seconds after being reviled and how cloak no longer purges DOTs but stops them.

    Long story short their over reacting about nothing there still just as powerful as they are in live with ambush and fear spam just ganking is gonna be harder for them.

    It might not seem like much, but for a stam melee NB. Any nerf to Cloak is bs. Not only that but ML as well. What defense does a NB have? No Harden wards. No amazing life regen. What do they expect us to use Leeching Strikes? How is that going to help us live now that we can't get away? So you are a squishy melee class with very little to show for it because of what?


    In other words. The devs are clueless.

    wrong, they taking away the only defence skill NB have.
    DK have amor and shield, templar have rune+shield, sorcs have armor+even better shield, nb have cloak against all that dont have RML slotted, including their groups.


    Sap tank getting destroyed with Siphoning attack nerf
    NB healers get nerfed with Funnel nerf

    Mag NB DD are still on the bottom of the list from mag DD in PVE

    Actually, my qualm about these changes is it locks a NB signature ability down and prevents it's use for X secs, depending on if Magelight(not just Radiant) or Piercing Mark is used or spammed. I don't mind being revealed, that's fair and I actually consider that more fun as it created more anticipation for closing in on melee targets.

    Overall, Cloak should remain able to be used, but as soon as you enter Invisibility you get revealed if the ability is effecting you. This way, cloak still gets the nerf and NBs are still able to make effective decisions about using cloak to gain the secondary effects.

    Also, NBs are upset about Dark Cloak no longer cleansing DoTs. While I agree, the change is upsetting, it's not the end of the world. What we got in trade is much better over the longer run. Now both morphs of the ability are decent. This creates a better dynamic overall, rather than having one amazing morph and one that's situational at best.

    Well I have a Magicka Nightblade and I agree with him. I choose not to use cloak my build is meant to Siphon.

    Spoken like a Non Stam NB. Now what? I am sure some bow NB come in and be all like. I am a stam nb!

    No point in playing a melee NB now that other classes do it better. We depend on the 3-4ish cloak cast to help our weak defense.

    This is also a buff. You can now take the crit morph and dots will not reveal you.
