All these 3 things made Magicka Nightblade unreliable and just straight up weak
The problem with Magicka Nightblade is that it has every single defense in the game, it has heals, shields and cloak yet none of these mechanics are strong enough to keep it alive.
Heals, HoTs arent strong enough and the Magblade cannot recover from low HP especially when he has Major Defile applied on himself. Its lacking a burst heal.
Shields are strong to prevent burst but theres too much oblivion damage and dots in the game and the shield itself is tiny anyway(Im talking about Harness Magicka and Healing Ward), nothing compared to the shields of a Magsorc for example. You just cant spam them like on a Magsorc.
Cloak is a nice escape tool but it isnt half as good as on a Stamblade because the Magicka Blade doesnt have enough mobility to abuse anywhere near as good as a Stamblade can, no snare removal, no major expedition, no dodge roll. Its too easily countered.
Talking about the offense of a Magblade, theyre too reliant on Assassin's Will which was made delayed and is now way too easy to avoid, their Burst is way too backloaded due to Assassin's Will being their only hard hitting skill.

And I still dont know what you're talking about cause magblades are still strong as ***.

In battleground every time I face one they do insane damage and have insane sustain, they are very good.

You see the cost difference between Dampen/Harness Magicka and Hardened/Empowered Ward as being that consequential?

Don't get me wrong - I have a good KDR but I'm a 5 year player. I think most noobs are gonna seriously struggle to be remotely competitive in PVP rocking a magblade.
Maybe just "roll a stamwarden" lol
