Paper and practice are totally different beasts.
Nightblades i would argue have about the same "burst" as a sorc. But sorc has more survivability since the more damage they have by boosting magicka the more damage they have. even if stamina NB had MORE it still cripples our survivability by getting to that point witch means more micro managing resources which most people suck at.
stamina NB has the same healing as every other stamina class, so maybe youre talking about magicka? I didn't realize we were debating about them.
shadow image sure is great if you're magicka or drop cloak. most stamina players don't use it since we need magicka for cloak and fear. i think ive seen 1 stamina nb in a year using it. (surprisingly it was this weekend lol) if your magicka it can be good, but i still rarely see people use it efficiently since its telegraphed and everyone knows where you're going. where every sorc and their mother can shield and streak with stun applied
and i would also argue any class can gank well except maybe sorc, they can but not as proficient.
--like i said nightblade are good if you can use it right but everything your saying is an opinion which lots of people wouldn't agree with. you're welcome to your own opinion but just don't pretend like its fact and put people down when they have a different one.
like i said before you can make any class look good on paper, but choosing to ignore that everything you said mostly applied to magicka nb and most people would agree that magicka nb is the hardest class in pvp aside from perma cloaking (not fighting) and talking about skills that yeah sound good but in practice most people just suck with them and there is a EASIER alternative in other classes, i still feel the same way. NB's are really good in the right hands, and not so good in most hands.
same goes for all classes, they can all be good in the right hands, some just are easier for newer players
Stamblade has superior self healing to all but stam warden and DK among stam specs and superior healing to every single non-Templar/NB magika spec. The ability to use cloak to force all your heals to crit means you have an on demand healing buff of AT LEAST 1.6...
But the ability to engage/disengage means that it’s hard to lose a fight, that’s what makes NB one of, if not the easiest class to play at a high level
@Lexxypwns
lol well if one 1.6k crit heal makes us easy and not 20k shield stacking and perma roots and huge burst heals and cheap healing ulits... well you win :-P #KhajiitOP
and idk i can disengage on my stamsorc just as easy. but.... anyways..
I’m done, you obviously aren’t able to understand the mechanics I’m speaking on

The crit Cloak morph is actually so overpowered that a single dot tick on your opponent consumes the free crit which makes that morph pretty much useless for anyone who has a dot in his/her build (having access to 8% less inc damage is far more powerful in that case). Next time when you try to degrade someone who posts a build video you should inform better.

False. If no attacks crit then the buff doesn’t get used up so all heals crit

Now it seems like stamdens and magplars (at least on console CP) are all the rage.
On PC Its a mixed bag, but every 3 person out of 5 is a damn nightblade, and they still complain about the other 2 that still havent rerolled to one. Which to me is ridicilous.
Those are stamblades, don't you soil the name of my beautiful magblade.
Magblade is meta in PvE so it's only logical that they're popular in PvP now as well. Buncha new rerolls this patch too it seems. It's also sad cause magblades are superior to any other magicka class in PvE which is why we'll get nerfed soon^tm

20 DK 12 minutes
20 templars 14 minutes
20 wardens 35 minutes (still a long search till you find enough)
20 NB 17 minutes

That’s interesting, I’m sure it is a little different in bgs but there is more people in Cyro and you’re stuck with the same classes in bgs for 15 min and often see the same people so it’s hard to tell, sometimes I see all wardens for a whole day and sometimes all sorcs taking all the kbs lol

How is it interesting exactly? It's a single person's observation over 1 week only and it's unverified as well. Aside from the fact that it could be entirely made up (as if people keep timers on the quests) I could also argue that NB quest takes longer to complete because they can escape better than anyone else, not because there's less of them. It's a pretty meaningless statistic, even if true.

maybe my PvP experience on my stamblade helped in some way but it was a completely different play style and all I had to do to survive was Igneous shield-vigor-block-ult-executioner

Lol, tanking 3 pugs isn’t a good measure here, fight someone competent and tell me how you plan to kill them on stam DK
Stam DK, stam sorc, mag dk, magplar, and mag warden all all worse and harder to play then either NB variety.

Yeah, totally explains why everyone and their mums are playing a stamblade while stamDK mains are just rerolling into other things.
Or other games.

Yup while smashing the "surprise attack" key requires some serious skill.
Ah, I am sorry...sometimes the Incap one too.
Hey Tuck,
I see flawless conq in your sig and was hopeful that you could answer the following questions:
1. I'm trying to do vMA on my stamblade (CP lvl 275) and basically gave up after 2nd round. Was running TFS with Veli and agility - DW/Bow and the normal rotations for back bar bow (EH, Caltrop, Rearm, leeching, vigor) and front bar (rending slash, relentless focus, SA, deadly cloak, killer blade). I couldn't stay alive with the damage... despite the sigils etc. Just wasn't possible with vigor. I did recently get VO and now i can run 5pc TFS and 5 pc VO with 2 pc Veli. Is my CP to low to do this?
for background, i'm very impatient. If i'm dieing more than 10x in pve content i'm basically done. I figure i'm either doing something completely wrong or just flat out not geared/leveled enough to perform the content. that's basically my stance right now on vet falkreath. can get to last boss no problem... and pretty easily get him to 20% as it isn't a speed test... but that last 20%... my group (all sub 300 cp) just can't stay alive and never able to complete.
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. criticism is fine. I can handle the "you just suck bro" if that is the issue.

This is completely untrue. Your exposure to good sorcs must be extremely limited.
