Again, not saying I want them to nerf vigor, but it has a way larger target on its back than cloak does.

If ZOS has decided that nightblade is the only class without a solid burst heal, that is the direction they have chosen to go, regardless of how confusing that appears to be.
It would have been nice if they let us know that is supposed to be an inherent nightblade weakness ahead of time though. A general outline of what all classes should be doing would be nice.
Mobility
Defense
Healing
Burst Damage
Dot Damage
Etc.
If we as players know how the classes are supposed to work according to ZOS, then these sort of changes are less of a surprise to us and would be viewed more as helping to define the class.
The games mantra is "Play any Class Any Role"
To do such, each class needs basic tools to do such. Regarding tanking, every class has had a basic burst self heal. Not asking for the class to do the exacct same thing as other classee. But if this games Mantra is to hold true, then yes, Nightblade require aaccess to burst heal to perform tank role just as every class has a spammable single target damage skill.
Some things are just "Basic and Bedrock" foundational pieces for the game to work as intended.
"Play any Class, Any Role".
I'm not saying I don't agree with you. I'm saying ZOS doesn't agree with you. I'm not happy at all with the change. I liked the heal the way it was and I wasn't under the impression that it was overperforming. If they want to look at overperforming heals, they don't have to look any further than vigor. Again, not saying I want them to nerf vigor, but it has a way larger target on its back than cloak does.
You claim burst heals for tanks, yet provide examples such as BoL, enchanted growth and other skills that scale from max stam/mag and damage. They are useless on tanks. I'd be much more sympathetic to your plea if you didn't make multiple threads about the same topic and talk nonsense.Donny_Vito wrote: »Cant you just use Vigor like everyone else?
Vigor is not a burst heal. It is a hot and scales more from weapon damage. Tanks dont need weapon damage. Weapon damage is for dps which is why alot of stam dps use Vigor. Also vigor would not be a reolacement for burst heal needed for pve tanks
Wanting every class to have the same tools is NOT balance. The fact that each class has native strengths and weaknesses is part of what makes this game work. And since NB is a powerhouse dps class, I don't think we can complain about it lacking the tools of a dedicated healer class like templar or tank class like DK.
Balance is having each class possess a unique set of tools geared to certain roles and situations. NB still has that and is getting heals that you're not acknowledging next patch. So balance is fine.

Again, that is not a burst heal. It will not sufficed. If you dont believe me, here is a test for you.
Roll yourself a Nightblade tank. You can wear any gear set you like.
Go to Old Kalgons Keep and solo the 3 bossee in there until they are dead.
No healer. You can use any skills any gear you desire. If you can survive with just you Hots, please let me know.
That will be an easy starter test.
Then go downstsir boss in VCR no hesler. Let me known if you survive after being hit every 2 seconds with heavy attacks and beam if you could bring youre heath up with Hots, no healer.
Then let me know if you can do the same in vHof last boss

You can wear Bahraha's Curse and solo that boss without any other outside healing on a NB tank. Any actual hots you add only make it easier. I see your point, but you may have wanted to choose a better example. A vet DLC dungeon maybe.

And ZOS breathes easy knowing that 1/3rd of the trinity is required in at least 3 pieces of content.
You promised yesterday that you would were uninstalling eso and going back to bdo. I had hoped that meant you would stop with these threads. I am disappointed.
You may well have a point, but your delivery is incredibly unpalatable.

Tbh. on my NB I allready use only like 3 - 4 NB abilities. Mostly to slot them to get the class passives. After NB changes ?
I dont know if I will use any of the NB class skills on my NB. Just LOL
^ If you are not a NB player then this comes from experiences NB player (I play since launch). So I hope it gives you a pretty good picture how severe the nerfs are.

I have done some of the harder content like vMoL with my nightblade tank. While, not the most impressive of trials nowadays, dodging and being self-sufficient with the savages is hard. Honestly, the dark cloak burst heal is what got me through this when I was learning to tank with a NB. Without it, I don't think I would have been able to. Now, I am not a great tank, nor am I trying to claim to be an great tank, but I am pretty confident with my abilities and I'm sure there are people who can tank those savages with no problem. I've seen people do it. With that said, it is nice to have the "oh ***" button that dark cloak provides for tanking. There are times, when tanks will not have access to healers and have to be completely self-sufficient. It is nice to have a button for when I make a mistake that doesn't punish the group for it. I think that Dark Cloak should not be changed in the upcoming patch, but there is still time left and we will see if they follow through with it.
The main complaint has to do with pvp and people being ganked. The irony here is pve tanks are going to suffer for something unrelated in pvp, specifically the high damge done in pvp from nightblades in stealth.
The Tank heal was added because Nightblades coul not properly tank endgame content without and emergency burst heal.
But all I have heare are people complaining about nightblade strengths which is high damage from stealth.
Not a single person thruout this entire forum has complained about the tank heal up until the announcement of the nerf to Dark Cloak which amounts to nothing more than "Jump on Band Wagon."
Tanks need a burst heal period.
If the tank heal needs to go, so be it. Then there is no need to strip them of the high offense.
Choice...
Take away offense or
Take away defense
Taking away both is completely over the top especially considering no one in pve has a problem with either which btw is the majority community not pvp.
Pts versiinnis a bad idea and does not lend itself to
Play any Class, Play any Role

If NB keep the burst heal, then more nerf is needed to the damage of the NBs especially from stealth.
Because that burst heal is what keeps NBs alive at PVP if they fail to one shoot someone and getting chased.
So because you cannot have both the pie whole and the dog fed, you tell us what you want.
A further nerf to NB attacks maintaining the burst heal for the handful of tanks that exist, or keep the damage and lose the burst heal resulting to alternatives?
Also someone replied to you here why the nerf happens
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/5975193/#Comment_5975193
Because NBs are running 2 heals at the same time (Cloak and Vigor), and ZOS cannot nerf vigor, all stamina classes are relying upon.
So with the buff to Sap Essence maybe you should consider use that skill?
In addition there are abilities like Introspection, Symbiosis. Have you considered them?
I would take the latter at any time over HoD/BoL tbh.

Thats not true. I have a DK tank and I can get Green Dragons Blood up to 51% insta heal with mending and cp and passives.
Dark Cloak caps at 32% and is spread over 3 seconds.

Exeeter is talking about malevolent offering and morphs, You know the burst heal that costs health and only can be cast on allies.
But you are wrong about dark Cloak not scaling with percentage based healing amps like GDB does, dark cloak does the same amount of scaling with them.

Then the tooltip is wrong at all times. Because my heals from it never go up unless max health goes up. Regardless the tooltio remains the same.
I wll test more tonight.

You need to look at the actual heal you get from it, not the Tooltip.
