I despise the CC for this move. I will take anything over it (i.e. snare, root, stamina sap, DoT, etc.).

    You despise the CC used against you?
    You despise using the CC against other players?
    Why don't you like the CC from this Ultimate ability?
    Why would you prefer something else?

    Your statement is kind of vague.

    I'm sorry for being vague. I despise using the CC on other players, and anything will do. Since Soul Harvest increases ultimate gain, how about Incapacitating does something for stamina?

    It is good times when your opponent only knows the one move and you get it one after the other.

    I honestly think the issue is more at your side rather than incaps.
    The incap CC is a) Dodgeable b) Blockable.
    It has a fairly long animation and a sound warning you that its coming.
    A lot of times the enemy will counter it unless you CC him before you use incap. And then you miss anyway because of shuffle

    I'm complaining because I use the move and I loath the CC. I have no issues being on the receiving end.

    You can't call it "Incapacitating Strike" if it doesn't incapacitate.

    I like incapacitating strikes better than dbos. Cheaper, more immediate damage, healing debuff are what I'm looking for on my nb.

    Better than an AoE with CC, DoT and wpn buff, that's undodgeable?

    You can get the debuff with a decent glyph and talking about the cost, it is more expensive, but it's not a 200 ult, just 100, quite easy to get for a NB.
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    They are both good. Players can run both.

    I preferred incap the way it was, a great counter attack when pressured. It seems too strong to me atm. (I use it for siege ganking)

    Dot can be purged. Aoe is nice, but the way i nb is to make sure primary targets die, which up front damage works best for me. For aoe instances iv use tether which imo is better than dbod too. Night blades have great ultimates.

    On my Templars and sorcs i use dbos.

    I love the CC the reason people hate it is because people use it so often with fear/ambush that it's predictable. I rotate this skill inbetween attacks and ALWAYS get people off guard with it.

    Plus it can be a great skill to take pressure of off you, when at low HP hit someone with it and have a Free cc without having to use the very expensive fear.

    The animation can be cancelled I cancel my soul harvest animation all the time, also once you hear the sound the damage has already been done. I agree with all your other points

    I don't think the stun is a big issue since Incap is a nightblade skill, and nightblades have fear, which they should use before incap on CC-vulnerable enemies anyway, to prevent the incap from being blocked/rolled, making the stun kinda redundant.

    It's a useless stun in most situations, and for me I use mass hysteria in order to minor maim my opponents. If I see my Incap knock someone down; I'm pissed. The CC is a handicap for me.

    You can get the debuff with a decent glyph and talking about the cost, it is more expensive, but it's not a 200 ult, just 100, quite easy to get for a NB.

    Only one class has a In class purge and that's Templar.Other magic classes has to use the alliance war purge which is very expensive or deal with the DOT remember shields take DOT damage now.Only Stamplars have a class purge since they removed it from Dark cloak.So again the Dot will more then likely kill you not counting the upfront damage.Which you have to realized that DBOs still do more damage than Incap strike so it be easier to stealth gank people with with DBOS actually you can kill more people faster.Ultimately its personal opinion in this matter.
