So me and my friend play Nightblades, mine is magicka and his stamina. I'm level 16 now he is level 8 I believe. We've dueled each other in the past before I out-leveled him and it was always close and fun.
My brother on the other hand plays a Dragonknight. He is level 6 now, and me and my friend have both dueled him throughout different level ranges but always lose. Problem is, it's not even a fair fight. We can barely scratch the guy. He doesn't even attempt to dodge or anything. He literally face tanks our damage, shrugs it off, and obliterates us.
Today for example, my magicka nightblade is level 16, his stamina Dragonknight level 6. All he had to do was keep his dragon armor up, root me over and over again endlessly, and use the flurry attack from dual wielding.
Is this common? Are Dragonknight just that ridiculous? Does it just get better when we're higher level, or is balance just really this bad.
Also, what is the deal with stealth when using vanish? Sometimes I stay hidden the whole time, sometimes only part of the time, and then sometimes I'm discovered just as fast as I vanish. What are the rules with stealth here? It's not really explained very well in game at all.
