stamblades STILL oneshot everyone without any chance to fight back. AND if you somehow manage to survive their crazy and stupid burst combo and try to fight against them they can just run away with endless roll dodges and cloaks AND just try to one shot you again seconds later.

STOP THIS MADNESS

even after several nerfs to proc sets and to their ulti incap, they still KILL you before you can even cc break.

a 75 cost ulti, applying MAJOR DEFILE, increasing their damage for 20% and hitting for 16-18k with their crazy ulti generation?

INCAP ISNT A ULTI ANYMORE, ITS THE STAMBLADES SIXTH SKILL.

STOP THIS MADNESS.

    Greatest burst potential in the game, but fortunately most people are just terrible at playing stamblades or don't know what to do if their gank fails so easy pickings. Your poll is biased.

    If they lower the ceiling, they need to raise the floor. A class that depends on perfect weaving doesn’t work out for everyone.

    Asking for nerfs should have an cost, 100 champion points would be fitting.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Their 1 method of gameplay in pvp. A class which used to be very powerful, now only a handful of people can play it well. The class has no other use in pvp. It just gets in the way of organized pvp play. If not played super well, under very strict parameters, the stamblade is dead.

    As a comparison, I just finished leveling my warden where I can just wade into the midst of a fight with garbage gear and crush people I normally can't beat.......................................................................................................

    No, just stop the tears, the NB has bee nerfed into the ground. please leave it alone.

    Stamblades have already been nerfed too much. I've not been one-shot by a stamblade in a long long looong time. If you are getting one-shot, perhaps your build needs to be scrutinized.

    the burst needs nerfed but everything else they have needs buffed.
    the stamblade stealth burst is abysmally strong even does decent damage vs a BLOCKING target.
    but without that they suck.

    Huh.. I don't get one shot by them.

    They sure try, then they get fossilized, whipped twice and I get AP.


    If anything, stamblades need massive buffing when it comes to survivability.

    It's a little ridiculous. I've leveled each of the other 4 classes to max level and am currently at level 39 with my stamblade.


    With Mag DK I've won probably 2 out of 3 duels I've been in, but they are almost always close. Templars are basically unbeatable with them for me, it feels.

    With Stam Warden, I win slightly less than half of my duels; it's timing and positioning that make them tough to duel with. They do excel at destroying sorcs, however.

    My mag sorc wins almost every duel I've done so far, but I've probably only been in 4 so far.

    I've won 1 and lost 1 with my Magplar.

    With my stamblade that is still sitting at level 39, I've won 7 out of 7 duels, and none lasted more than 30 seconds. Only 1 has lasted longer than 10. What's more, I don't have to put any thought into building for a duel with a NB because any combination of skills seems to do the trick. I don't even need to slot a real heal (rally/vigor) to maintain full health throughout the fight. And the last one I was in (vs a level 37 while at level 38) I'd even forgotten to eat any food. This was the one fight that lasted for more than 10 seconds and I was at roughly 13K health at the dolmen where I was challenged.

    You can be the top 0,00001% for all I care, you won't live more than 20 seconds against a semi-decent player with undodgeable dmg and a gap closer.

    You joined the forums yesterday and already have 2 biased polls asking for nerfs of two of the classes. Could you at least try to make an unbiased one with at least one option for no? So that its easier to maybe give counter arguments for why they should not be? Not saying I think stamblades shouldn't also not saying they should, but you are not exactly setting yourself up in a good way to bring the attention you want QQing like you are. Less emotions and more reasoning will go longer to have people read this, and most importantly have the devs read this. Which is your intention is it not, or are you just here to QQ about losing in PvP?

    No it doesn't, that's one of the worst sets in the game against a player who knows what he's doing.

    I've played this game for 3 years & mostly on melee builds, and don't think I've stepped once in those mines. Most gap closers just fly over them & if you sidestep after someone using it dodges you can easily avoid them.

    Well I'm not sure what "massive buffing" would entail, so I prefer to err on the side of caution.

    And my money would always be on a top stamNB vs any merely decent player, whatever their class/build. Which is how it should work.

    In my whole playtime (half year) I was one shotted only once and it was in below 50 lvl campaign when I was like the worst player ever with no sets. Now they hardly can even gank me and after incap strike I just need to roll dodge their next attacks. Cry more or l2p, buff them because as a fellow stambalde, they are the easiest class to kill for me.
