MagBlade MegaThread (No Stamblade)

Creating this as a hub for magblade issues since magblade and stamblade are so drastically different. There will be more of a focus on PvP since there is so much more to be discussed while keeping PvE in mind
Strife:
So Magblade isn't really over preforming much in comparison to stamblade in PvP Environments. I'm honestly shocked to see Magblade gets hit with a strife nerf. Which is the one thing ZoS could do to actually *** me off. With this change to strife the skill is no longer really unique anymore and it doesn't even fix the issue of them over-preforming in PvE environments. It literally only punishes solo players and people who PvP. Many roleplayers (myself included) started playing a nightblade two years ago cuz strife was a fun skill and not overly punishing. Most those people are still very casual and will probably wish they choose something else to play. In addition to this most tanks use this skill for healing so the cheap cost is very necessary for them, another skill that tanks use for healing is burning embers which is FAR cheaper than strife is on live. A solution would be to make Strife cost about as much or slightly less then concealed weapon. That way the uniqueness of the skill in preserved and it still does less damage than Concealed Weapon and Force pulse. I can get behind a cost increase but the current amount that is proposed is pretty stupid as it doesn't do anything but hurt an audience it's not supposed to.
Assassin's blade:
Since I am 85% against the strife change I feel it is sorta balanced to offer this one too. Increase the cost of this ability to that of force-pulse/concealed weapon. That way you are overall needing more sustain rather than just needing it for strife. It does so much damage for so little cost
Path:
I'm pretty ok with these changes as this does actually address the issue of nightblades over preforming but I'd much prefer the healing factor of refreshing path be left alone
Shade:
Yay!
Soul Siphion (And Tether):
Why would I use this over resto ult? Please reduce the cost of this skill to that of Resto ult (and leap even) so that I have a reason to use this skill. Also the Tether radius is far too small so people dodge out of it all the time.
Siphioning Attacks:
I want the Morrowind version back (which different values) but that will probably never happen
ADD YOUR SUGGESTIONS

✭✭✭Refreshing path's healing in no way shape or form is over performing.
Strife change is fine but should be made to be unblcokable.
Me and @thogard been crying on the forums about undodgeable incap damage for months. Our cries are finally heard.0331

BigBadVolk✭✭✭✭✭agree on the strife cost decrease idea what gilliam said should be fine, or if they want this cost, increase its damage and healing in some way (like giving back it healing 2 or 3 people for funnel and something like unreflectable and dodgeable for swallow) on the rest I agree, impale is the one which needed a cost increase not this skillEdited by BigBadVolk on April 16, 2018 7:38PM"The ass is similar to the opinion: Everyone has it, but no one cares about the others!"

✭Quoting myself from another thread:
"It's less an issue of Strife itself now costing too much but rather the heal/damage component of it not being worth this new, much higher cost compared to what you'd gain in damage from other options like Force Pulse. If they'd make it unreflectable, increase the base healing/make it's healing done it's own value as opposed to a percentage of damage done, allow Strife's individual ticks to crit again/make the HOT value not refresh each time it's cast but instead when it's value becomes higher, it'd still be worth slotting as a defensive counterpart to Force Pulse's pure damage."

✭✭✭✭✭Strife's cost should have been increased, but not by this much.
Increasing it to 2300 or so instead of 2700 would have been enough. It might do more than just dealing damage, but it's not really used for that reason.Auri-El is my lord,

CavalryPK✭✭✭✭✭I think they are aiming to make you decide on equal grounds if you gonna use strife for healing or pulse for more dmg. I think they don't want you to consider the magicka cost... for example if strife costs less mag, then than its a no brainer vs if it costs the same then it is a brainer...
THE CAVELRY HAS ARRIVED! Cav is a professional magblade, (in his not so professional opinion). He is immortal and is fighting for the Pact since 2E 572, amidst the turmoil of the Second Akaviri Invasion. He protects the provinces of Skyrim, Morrowind and Black Marsh.
