    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

    Nightblade main since launch, please tell me how hard you DK woes are.

    Come on man we all play other classes here ... I know the struggles of the nighblade... We are trying to save this classfrom being destroyed in pvp...
    I have the most time in my Nightblade, couple of years of PvP with him, the a year of catching up with PvE.

    I have two other characters at 50, one is crafting alt who's not finished Deshaan, the other is a Sorc I rolled this year and got through EP Zones and main story before putting down.

    My point was more that the OP is so blinded by his balance rage they're posting that everyone who disagrees is a sorc.

    Everyone will be a Sorc is what I'm saying.
    I won't, I will be on my Nightblade. :tongue:

    Played it during the good, played it during the bad, will be playing it when the servers close (maybe).

    will you and everyone else that thinks they have damage mitigation beyond blocking please duel me? @Nick_Almighty

    I'd love to compile footage of all the hopeless mDK builds being obliterated by me. And yes ill use my mDK.

    You guys are all complaining about stuff like battle roar when are our damage mitigation (blocking) is now gone for anyone trying to kill anything. Were going back to tanking again because that will be the only thing we can do.

    You and your childish justice. I'll rip it to pieces.

    And now I'll blow all of you and you and you...

    Good luck sustaining that against a shield stacking Sorcerer ;)

    Well thats what I messed around with on live in 1T when dueling was very active, but with sword and board instead of dual wield. It massacres the majority of sorcs. The beautiful thing about magicka DK is how versatile it is. Ya tank specs are predominant in the current meta, but the magicka DK has the tools to be effective with a wide variety of builds.

    What I liked most about that spec is that it utilizes blocking, healing, and shielding so it makes for a very engaging play style. You can shield stack as well, but also get big heals inside the shields.

    If you thought there were too many tanks in Cyrodiil now, wait until every DK left specs into full tank because it's the only option left.

    Well, those sorcs you "destroyed" were poatoes.

    Now I want to see you using DW LA with a mDK, to get... umh, magicka...

    Short answer is DKs likely won't be seeing a ton of changes before we go live; this class is still quite powerful (as it should be being a tank), even after some of the adjustments we've made to other classes and abilities.

    1T mDK was quite different from Morrowind mDK. Sustain was definitely manageable. Right now on PTS, with 5 LA and Seducers, simply keeping my buffs up depletes nearly 50% of my magicka.

    I don't think you have a good grasp of strategy here: the Devs already have a ton of BS threads to look at before they find 1 actual useful discussion. You adding more makes it harder, not easier, to enact the changes you seek. If you instead created a thread that started with actual discussion and examples of findings, maybe this would help out development and balancing for DKs.

    But no, go on creating more pointless threads and filling them with sarcastic comments and reaponses. I am sure that ZOS finds that incredibly helpful.

    The funny thing is that this thread seems to suggest sorcs were always on top and DKs were always on the bottom. Which simply isn't true. Now....are DKs maybe lower on the ranking than sorcs this patch? Yes probably. Does this means they'll always be remain there? Hell no. Thinking that your (favorite) class should be on top is one thing but pretending it never was is just nonesense

    It's not about being on the bottom but it's really unbalanced at the moment ... it's bad ...

    I have to disagree with OP completely

    This patch has done more to bring every class into running for each role. The changes to Templars removed their monopoly on the healing role, as a DK healer you actually have a chance to be competitive in healing regards. As a mDPS, DKs main holdback was substain. DK class will actually adjust better to the changes than every class due to their history.

    DK class will be fine and can do every role in the game, competitively. Tanking is their strong suit but that is the way the class is set up.

    The fact that a response like this could drag in a single Agree, even from a troll, is testament to how much ZOS has torn apart the community with terrible balance decisions.
