The lack of attention shadow image has received is an absolute joke.

The f***ing skill hasnt been working since CWC release date! Despite them saying on a ESO live they would fix it, its gone completely silent now.

I feel like im the only NB making noise about this, it says it all about how few people play the mag NB class compared to every other class atm and that says a lot in itself too!

Gina mentioned Shadow Image:

Shadow Image is still being worked on, but will be put into a patch as soon as there's a tested fix. Will check on Healing Ward, I thought there was a fix for that in this update.

Looks like it will be in another PTS build later this month.

    Developer Comments – Gap Closer Abilities:
    We’ve decreased the damage values on numerous gap closer abilities – not just Teleport Strike, but other charge abilities such as Critical Charge or Focused Charge as well. Gap closers in ESO have no cooldown and can hit for extreme amounts of damage, so there is very little opportunity cost in forcing your enemies to use them. Decreasing their damage ensures that ranged players utilizing movement and terrain to maintain their distance are better rewarded for that advantage.

Oh good, because Lotus Fan was not already terrible for everything, let's reduce the damage further because of Spambush builds

"there is very little opportunity cost in forcing your enemies to use them"
Forcing your enemies to use gap closers?
Is there anything that opens distance fast enough to 'force' someone to use gap closers except for Sorcers with Bolt Escape?

Also, if changes to Teleport Strike are made because it is used too frequently,
they may want to look at adding a minimum cast-range to it similar to other gap closers
the biggest 'problem' with escaping a Spambush is that they can activate the gap closer before I streak
so that it finishes its casting animation and teleports to me after my Streak is complete
this is because they can cast it at any range -- if they could not begin casting until my first Streak is complete it would be more easy to break away from

  • Veiled Strike: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs would still stun and set an enemy Off Balance even if they could detect you with detection potions.
    ...

Oh good, let's make Veiled Strike the only CC in game that is countered by Immovable as well as Detection Potions, Magelight and Flare
it's not like it is already a CC that requires slotting and casting two entirely different skills to cause a melee-range stun in the first place
this is a brilliant idea after taking away Agony -- let's railroad all NBs into using Fear for hard CC
that won't increase complaints about people using Fear for CC at all

Where is the patch again?

I was hoping to see some buffs to NB, since it pretty much sucks ATM. But all I can see is tweaks. ZOS are forcing me to jump into mana Sorc. Ok, let's just do it.
