We all know that this ultimate is not used (at least in pvp). So i would like a revamp of it (i don't even play nightblade)

Why not add to one of its morph the possibility to grant invisibility every second till the ultimate expires (like clouding swarm)

    I don't think that would make it so people would use it in PvP. It's a non-mobile ultimate, plus NBs already have easy access to invisibility so why would they want to burn an ultimate on it? It would still not be used over DBoS, Incap, EotS, Soul Harvest or even Soul Tether.

    Becouse cloaks breakes after 3 seconds, you need to spend time and magicka to recast it, if you get this ultimate tho, you use a zone of haven where you can: damage, get damage resistance and infinite cloak. Of course since its radius is little, won't be op nor overperforming.

    Nothing, since this morning, just 3 different posts about changing skill I happen to use (might've missed some).

    I really don't understand how could I be overreacting like that...

    Attronach, Consuming Darkness, Standard and Nova are the big 4... the original strongest ultis in this game. They had their time in PvP, but currently they are outdated. Nevertheless, they have their uses in PvE because of their synergies. There are no other ultis in the game that allow you to activate a synergy.

    The combos you can do with all of them activated at the same time are amazing... unfortunately people forgot about that after 1.6

    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

    You know you're used to your class getting hated on when you see this thread title and assume it's yet another nerf thread about another nightblade skill that's doing alright. Leave us alone! Go hit sorcs or something! XD But seriously, this ultimate, while not usually chosen over veil of blades since veil does damage, is pretty useful. I wouldn't mind it getting buffed since it is pretty expensive, but at the same time it's a 60% damage mit so it makes sense that it's 1)expensive and 2)stationary. Could you imagine it being cheap like the resto ult and nightblades everywhere getting a 60% damage reduction every 30 seconds? That's almost a mist form-level damage mit; from the perspective of using it I would love it. From the perspective of fighting somebody using it, I would hate it. :tongue:

    Well while its not super common, Nightblade Tanks actually use the bolstering darkness morph and DPS's use the other in PvE when needed. And your suggestion is utterly useless for the purpose you described. Non mobile ultimates have very very limited use in PvP, and a non mobile major protection is even worse now that wardens has a mobile one and Nova still beats it cause you would throw it at the enemy rather than yourself, causing them to spread rather than yourself to stack up. Stacking up in PvP can be good at times but other times it could be hazardous. Also please don't suggest changes like this to a class you don't even play. The ultimate has its uses in PvE and non mobile fights, leave it alone.

    In PvE it is a great pick for beginners. One of two morphs grants you a staggering 60% damage mitigation. And for PvP it can actually be a great ultimate to use in group play while outnumbered, giving your group 30% damage to you and your group and snaring the hell out of your opponents. Very underrated ult in my opinion.

    Heck no, this is a great tanking ult. It's especially useful in fights where a lot of the damage is from something other than the boss.

    I always have it slotted in CoS: when the statue is doing its thing and 2-3 group members are down, the resist lets me or a group mate get in a res without dying to the flames.

    Bolstering darkness is the single strongest mitigation from a percentage standpoint and is a very strong tool for pve NB tanks.

    Veil works very well together with nova, it is not an either or situation. They work odf each other just as sleet storm does with nova. Veil is a very solid tool for nb healers in vet trials for scenarios where stacking for springs is in effect.

    Of course this was mainly for pvp, and for just 1 of its morph, so Tanks wound't get cloaked and thus lose aggro if they choose the other morph

    It seems like you didn't read the full thread. Is about implementing a *** ultimate, becouse even horn is far better then that.
    And since there are two morphs available, you won't lose anything. Stop crying for nothing

    Horn is not far better, horn offers a completely different function.

    You claim you don't play NB but want a remorph of the ultimate to suit your desires. I call BS on your claim.

    Ummmm great for tanks? I don't use it often when tanking, but when in a pug or very hard trial, this is a great ultimate to use. Technically a great ultimate to pair with bombing too :)
