When the first round of patch notes were released zos made it clear they were going to put nightblades inline with other classes while balancing other class abilities etc, okay cool,we kinda know what they’re planning.
We at least had an idea of their vision which was to have a designation for each class.
But as the pts cycle moved on week after week zos has done a complete 180 on their vision and instead just began to try and change Nightblade to provide damage control, whilst neglecting every other class. Let me just say that this is arguably the DUMBEST thing to do,
They spend so much time trying to appease all the cry threads of nightblades panicking who haven’t even played pts and don’t even focus on the real issues such as how classes like stamsorcs, stamplars, and debatably magblades needed something for their class.
It’s absolutely absurd how inconsistent and incompetent zos is with their balancing changes each quarter.
They make their minds up on one thing, then completely do a 180 the next week!
The fact that they brought up something as absurd as incap now silencing players is the WORST change that has ever been introduced, This is worse than when they had the idea of giving shields a cast time, or introducing the sloads semblance.
It has become completely 100% confirmed zos does not play their game. How ignorant and out of touch can you be to have the audacity to introduce something like silencing from incap. Literally this has NO COUNTERPLAY. This will just destro any solo&small scale magica getting zerged down. It’s just ridiculous how people actually thought of this and introduced this nonsense to the patch notes. I can go on about this absurd change but that’s not the only bone I have to pick.
Another ridiculous change is the race against time nerf. Magica classes desperately needed a snare removal& immunity. Race against time was sure... debatably overloaded, but instead of reducing the snare immunity how about you just take away the ****ing Minor force. We would all be happy with that. Keep the minor force on channeled acceleration and let race against time have its immunity to 4 seconds.
Those who ran shuffle&wings wanted them to also be 4 seconds, so it can be as good as forward momentum, blur, and race against time. But what does zos do? The nerf race against time so mag classes can get shafted and have garbage mobility. Or we just have to gimp ourselves into using trash mistform which hardly even works since you still get snared in mistform, and you can’t heal, nor can you recover mag. Not to mention take absurd amounts of flame&fighters-guild damage because it’s not like 75% of the cyrodiil population doesn’t have fire damage or dawnbreaker&silver leesh slotted.
If we’re going to talk about overloaded abilities how about look at blur which gives 4 seconds of immunity AND major evasion.
Oh no but according to zos and their nonexistent logic all magic classes should suffer now.
Honestly at this point they should just give all classes their own form of snare removal&immunity instead of only giving certain classes their own exclusive abilities while others must suffer. It would be nice if Magplars could use something OTHER THAN MIST FORM.
It is now 100% clear zos does not play their game and is beyond out of touch with the community. The fact that they just go full 180 in this pts cycle is absolutely pathetic. Rather than actually giving certain clases their needed attention they just nerf nerf nerf and introduced things as RIDICULOUS as incap literally negating people.. was yesterday bring your kid to work day at zos, because it’s so hard to believe that a company can be so incompetent and inconsistent.
