Night blade assassination passive

Jesterfox · April 2017

I've been wondering about the assassination passive and the fact it restores only magicka and while I understand it's a great thing for magblades it's seems pretty useless if your building stamina. I was just wondering why this ability hasn't been changed to restore which resource pool is lowest. It would make the passive worthwhile to either build, and the amount of stamina it restores could be scaled however needed.

Am I missing how unbalanced this would be? Any thoughts on this?

Sorry not to bump, but I meant the executioner passive in the assassination skill line.

It's good for stamblade in pvp? I guess, more cloaks/fears whatever it is. Not totally useless. Now there was an ability that cost magicka for pve NB that I think gave sustain but just went over to stamina..hmm not sure which one it was EXACTLY but yeah for pve stamblade it's damn near useless.

edit:
Rank I WHILE USING ASSASSINATION ABILITIES
Killing an enemy with an Assassination ability restores [x] Magicka over 6 seconds.
Assassination Rank 14 -- -- --
Rank II WHILE USING ASSASSINATION ABILITIES
Killing an enemy with an Assassination ability restores 2[x] Magicka over 6 seconds.

All classes I believe probably have a passive that is worthless or close to it, not the worst thing ever.

fear is a magicka skill
cloak too

Stamblade is reliant on magicka based utility spells in PvP. The Assassination passive is a lifesaver sometimes.

It is irrelevant in PvE because you have Ophidian for trash mobs, groups to give you sustain, and it never procs when fighting bosses anyway.

Ah thanks! I knew in PvP it had use, fear is lovely and so is cloak but I totally had forgot about Ophidian. (Can't seem to find a group to run for in the main server.) I also brought this up because of the recent changes to the champion tree, unsure of how much that'll effect my character.

So in theory if you don't mind me asking, how much would the change effect Nightblades in PvP? Just out of curiosity if that change were to happen would it harm PvP builds?
