anyone post a screenshot of the new leeching/siphoning attacks tooltip?

Also I tested it a bit and can confirm it does work like rally now.

So after talking about how they wanted to make changes so that you could more quickly recoup the cost of the ability they have made it so you have to use about 9 light attacks before you can do so.

At least they changed it to work like rally. That does make it more interesting. Guess I'll just have to try it out and see how it works on live. May make sense to actually take the stam morph as a magblade to get my stam sustain and then sustain magicka other ways.

about grim focus yes...in pvp this is nerf..now some tested and no at all its not to easy to hit with all those light attacks intp your target to proc spectral bow but then when you preparing to hit with this and you hitting then this buff is just about to end in pvp so this is nonsense this change to grim focus to me...never more than just 1shot from grim focus per cast in pvp, thats all

So if you allow the full duration and constantly weave light attacks it's worth around 600 stam recovery with a heal attached. Is this worth it in PVE?

I don't know man. This change is fine I guess... but how much dmg you have to sacrifice in order to find the right balance. @Blobsky is playing a super tanky DK that has good recovery , good dmg and he is very tanky. he constantly has 3 ppl beating on him. and he does not go down unless he is holding the flag for a long time.

With the amount of DMG you sacrifice.. you, as a magblade, will not be able to take him or similar builds down. as a m

I think the ending result of Siphoning Strikes is pretty solid. Grim needs to be reverted back to 4 light attacks though; its current state is a nerf for PvP, and it won't be game breaking to reduce it to 4 for PvE either.

This would make it's uptime similar to Crystal Frags uptime I'm thinking? The latter depends on a chance to proc of course, but the Spectral Bow has the caveat of successfully landing light attacks.

Looks pretty good, pvp is a different story.

Can someone post a screenshot for leeching strikes please?

I dunno. I for whatever reason find that the NB class, while underpowered a bit in late-game content, is actually one of the nicest classes to use via hybrid, or at least one class whose mag/stam each have a completely different kind of playstyle. I love my NB class. I would love to see it buffed in the sense that it becomes the "Excecutioner" that in PvE is absolutely PRISTINE come the execute phase. but right now the assassin's blade is a bit sub-par, and is bugged currently so it deals less than the tooltip value....

I'm drunk.

So many magicka noobs... i wanna see the stam nb version.

kunquatb16_ESO · May 2017

That changes seem to be made with 1 spec for nightblades in mind. Seems to go against player choice.

max_only · May 2017

Rally and the new Siphoning Attacks aren't things magnbs will use let's be real.

Magnbs will have how many lifesteal skills up already? We don't need another heal.

We need magic recovery. End of.

Hold up, grim focus procs on its on now? Before I thought it was a cluncky skill with the four light/heavy attacks hit button again, dang that was only three, start again. But if it procs after five attacks and just one cast, I'll bring that thing out of hibernation.

it is still clunky..you think with tooltip you will get proc 4 times in pve with this but not....because of ping, lags etc you will get max 3 procs and last 3rd you will need very big luck to time it to shot in last second so in practice you will gain mostly just 2 shots with this in pve....in pvp its still max 1 shot per cast
