    Are you gonna make all Stamina Nightblades attacks dodgeable too?

    How about 15% chance to succeed in attack from stealth? :^) or 15% chance to deal full damage. Otherwise 30% of full damage.
    EDIT: Inb4 stoning for this joke post.

    It’s good they made birds dodgeable but they should have increased their damage otherwise it’s a useless skill that will never be used again.

    Which ones aren't dodgeable? Before this update, every stamblade ability/ultimate could be dodged afaik.


    After this latest PTS patch you might see some slot Steel Tornado as a pseudo-execute to counter other stamblades (and other stam builds).

    Burst->opponent is still alive, CC breaks & tries to dodge roll away->steel tornado->dead.

    I think Steel Tornado might be a thing again also.

    Nice all the complainers, constantly ruin this game...thanks let's go ahead and make everything in the game dodgable now? Maybe if people learned to get better, instead of wanting all these nerfs the game would be enjoyable. Why can't we get a whole new pvp map instead? There's no way that these nerfs are occurring when we have alot of broken skills in the game? I need to upload the videos I have been taking of the game being messed up, I wish they would stop focusing on the wrong stuff.

    If flame lash and searing strikes are dodgable then you guys should increase the damage, or nerf sets and abilities that grant a bonus to dodging if you haven't already.

    Now you’ll have to get better to actually land these.

    Not if people are hitting shuffle, or wearing gear that ups their dodge chance. It's because the complainers that MagDk keeps getting merged, funny people complain about NB but here they are still outperforming every other class.

    Well done! :)

    I hope there will be more balance changes in the next week incremental patch.
    Some sets and abilities are still too powerful(for example, Eye of the Storm being too strong, especially with no AOE caps next update, shield breaker set that has no cooldown, Ball of Lightning that absorbs the full blast of Meteor and it's morphs, Meteor doesn't hit the target due to combination of block and dodge, resource poisons are too strong compared to base enchants- like weapon/spell damage, Stamina Warden is still very powerful and the change to dive won't do much difference, Nightblade's cloak should have 30%-50% cost increase if used again in less than 4 seconds, Shuffle is too powerful-the target is dodging too many abilities and the chance of dodge is actually higher than the tooltip etc.).
    So there are still many "combat balance" issues.

    If it was instant it would be just fine to use after a stun ability, but this way it'll be just a wasted slot in magden skills bar.

    I like aoes being the main source of undodgable damage, blade cloak already has a permament slot on all my stam toons both pve and pvp, this just makes it even better.
    Now onto looking at incap still going thru dodgeroll half the time and generally having too much going for it.

    Ok with all the skills being made undodgable can we now get a cool down on shuffle or at least fix it so a medium armor wearer doesn't have so much up time on dodge, dodge, dodge, dodge?
    Now the balance will swing the other way if not.

    Sorcs have 100%on shield and are better then shuffle how about a cooldown for that, or a cooldown for blocking since you can reduce damage whenever you want unlike shuffle where it gives you a chance at dodging. Shuffle is fine as it is.

    Good going shuffle is already broken and every projectile attack can be dodged now you are taking away the only one that couldn't be since wardens cliff racer attack can now be dodged can we get a change done to shuffle also it's broken and needs looked at

    how is shuffle broken? enlighten us, please.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hKPuQ_2X9U for this reason that @ArchMikem recorded not my video but it's the reason it's broken to be able to dodge attacks while just standing still it is ridiculous and you shouldn't be able to dodge that many attacks

    I will ask my quesiton again, how is shuffle broken? Is a 15% chance, period, if you passed elementary maths on school you should be able to grasp what a 15% chance means. Handpicking 1 ocurrence when it dodged 3 attacks dosn't change anything.

    *Gasp* ZOS can't do something nice to werewolves, they rather nerf them into the dirt where not only do they suck, they are also not anymore fun.

    Shuffle is fine. Since they made it so, that armor abilities can only be used when you wear the armor they belong to, none of them is unbalanced anymore. All 3 are very potent. Annulment is the only good damage shield for most classes and harness magicka is the only reason, why light armor can actually live in pvp. Light armor needs to cast so much, without the magicka restore of this ability, it would be completely unplayable.

    Shuffle used to be broken on heavy armor, but is totally fine on medium armor builds as long as they play the typical squishy/high damage build. On tanky medium armor builds, it can be very cancerous.

    And Immovable is actually soooo strong, why is nobody using it ? Non light armor users aren't used to being forced to recast something every few seconds if they want to survive. Unstoppable is such a great morph, you can easily achieve 6.6 seconds duration and if you just pay a little attention, you can keep a 100% uptime and be technically immortal. Because most kills do not happen without a CC. As long as you can freely attack and protect yourself, you will not die without beeing CCed unless you get zerged and even then probably not.

    All 3 armor abilities are equally potent.
    Auri-El is my lord,
    Trinimac is my shield,
    Magnus is my mind.

    I think these changes are great and i'm a magdk.

    two suggestions for the offset of searing strikes though. ( i do believe it should be dodgeable)

    -increase the range. (as everyone has stated)
    -incorporate an execute mechanic with dk flame damage abilities.(this way you're rewarded for landing something that will be dodged endlessly).

    Good changes, i think this goes a long way to balance.

    p.s. i know you're just nerfing so much to bring by dynamic ulti gen :wink: (or a little less effective version?) :blush:
