    Yep. A 10k merciless in no-CP = 3300 heal = 1650 after battle spirit.

    That one will save ya!

    do damage percent based heals get halved? i am pretty sure they they don't, as they are already halved in the damaged part.

    Doesn't matter. Devs trying to pass it off as a burst heal truly is comical

    Lol do you get a heal in one chunk? Then that's a burst heal.

    You all don't get it... NBs can't tank or heal, their only purpose is doing dmg and that's it... If you want to be a brawler, pick a DK, if you want to have high heals, pick a Templar...

    Stop this nonsense, don't try to make the damn Rogue class into a tank because it's clearly not one.

    I'm sick of Devs trying to reinvent the wheel, sometimes it make me think that they haven't play an MMO in their lives...

    You heard it folks, 1-2k hp is a “burst heal”

    My CP gives me a “burst heal” when I get crit too.

    Can’t forget stamplar’s “burst heal” from Jabs

    Or stamsorc’s “burst heals” from Surge

    Or Warden’s “burst heal” from using an animal companion

    If it’s not returning a noticeable chunk of HP, it’s not a burst heal. If it can be dodged, it’s not a reliable heal. If it can be reduced by an enemy’s resists, it’s not a good heal.

    NB never rly had anything else. They are trash as tanks and healers. DPS was where they shined.
    Warden & Necro are classes designed from the ground to have DPS, Healing and Tanking class "tree" skills. They even mentioned that on the last ESO stream.

    NB as all base game classes were designed by certain "archetype", with NB being an "Assassins". So for a long time it made a perfect sense that They should be very good at DPS, but weaker at other roles.

    The frustration almost all NB are having right now is that DPS role for NB has been nerfed but there were little to no buffs for healing & tanking role. Those in fact were nerfed too for a bizarre reason...

    That mind set has been thrown out five years ago. There is no such things as a dps only class. They are all dps, tanks, and healers since this game begin. Being weak at something does not negate the fact that you can do it. Nightblades literally have the shadow tree. Every passive in that tree is defensive. I have been healing on Night blades since the first year of the game. Warden and Necro have clearly designed role trees but let's not forget that everything in each tree is not exactly useful for just one role.
    There are skills in the healing tree that dps and tanks can use and vice versa. Says no buff to tanking but you are complaing about a skill that buff damage thay now gives a damage mitgation buff. So I guess that is buff to tanking. Let's not forget that Mirage which is part of Assassin's tree also is tanking skill. How about that the fear skill in Shadow skill actual keeps adds in place now so Nightblades tanks have cc. Zos have been doing this for years. They want all classes do all roles.

    I understand how a lot of people are doubtful of the changes coming down the line, as the changes we've seen in the past have been pretty wonky for the most part. But, ever since they changed up the combat team I've seen mostly good adjustments, and this has changed my outlook for the game. Granted, we haven't seen a ton change yet, but the incremental changes we have seen have at least a ray of hope in them and this has happened with most changes since the combat team re-org.

    I mean, this might be a bad analogy but, being settled on negative feelings now is like being at the car shop, and just as the mechanic takes your tires off to change them, you come in and say "I really don't think that this is going to work out... How will I drive with no tires, dummy?" and he would reply, "well give me a minute, and I will put them back on, like you asked me... with new tread too." Software development just takes a little longer than we're used to, I think. I could be naive.

    Iunno, I'm gonna wait and see. Maybe NBs are going to get some stronger skills to improve tanking and healing, but first they need to down-tune NBs strongest skills so when buffs are added to the class it doesn't create an extreme imbalance that drives people to whine, and/or leave.

    There is not such thing as DPS class. Every class is designed to be viable in every function with its own twist.

    If you think NBs is all about damage you didn’t get the concept of the game.

    Typically the heal that is based on a damage skill in PVP does not have the same half restriction of normal heals because the damage is already cut in half.

    Do you have a link or doc proving this? it is something I have been wondering for a long time now, about strife for example.

    Mag sorc has the best defenses, best mobility, highest damage, and best sustain. All these are facts that can't really be argued against. So mag sorc is the unanimous number 1 class in PvP.

    I think it’s a matter on context for if it’s a buff or a nerf. For those who’re glass canon, it’s a nerf. For those with pvp defenses it’s a buff.

    If someone’s so glass canon that extra mitigation won’t help them they’re likely not going to see a difference. If someone plays giving up all defense for offense they’ll continue being free AP.

    What do you mean continue being free ap? My glass canon gets way more kills then deaths. Maybe you are just doing it wrong?

    More kills the deaths where, in BGs or cyrodiil? Against beginners they can work yes, against more experienced opponents they don’t work.

    The minor berserk change will hurt the dps in trials groups that mainly consist of nightblades but have poor combat prayer uptime. I'm not saying that the change is bad, personally I'm pretty indifferent about it.

    Damage in general is very high right now anyways.

    Basically its a massive nerf in vMA. Losing Fracture and Berserk at once sucks.

    As for PvP or vAS: Slimecraw just became a very useful set.
