Let's be real, a 3 second silence is very potent, but it can easily be dealt with and literally 1 dodge roll will save you. "Ohhh but what if they fear us, all hope is lost wahhh..." Take an immovable pot. This is so incredibly counterable it's sad.
Step 1: Take immovable, health, magicka pot. (No defile, no CC, health from pot just saved you)
Step 2: Block for approximately 1-2 seconds (Throw some CP points into reduced block cost if you're dumb and haven't already)
3: Magelight and unload as they try to run away.

The gankers all of you are worried about are typically trash and can't sustain. When they realize their window of opportunity (silence) was missed and now the tables have turned, I guarantee you they'll run away and look for a lower level with lower health.

Im not worried about the gankblade.
Im worried about the heavy armor bleedblade that will also conveniently get the biggest damage mitigation of all classes, can still stack 6k weapon damage, capped resistances, major evasion, minor protection if they want to and the longest snare removal so they even can run rally.

1 dodgeroll wont save you. You might have your potion on cd because cyrodiil pvp isnt "I keep everything up and never use anything with a cooldown because after that fight I might run into a nightblade". Said immovable pot also has a downtime of what 35 seconds? Plenty of time to drain your stam further since nightblades have very high ult gen and easy to land cc since you cannot block or dodge it. There is also mag players that need to use spellpower potions because of bar space issues so they would be severly gimping their offense to deal with one overloaded ultimate.
You could also be a no cp player where breaking free will cost 5k stam, dodging will cost 4k stam and blocking without a shield/ice staff will cost 1.7k stam.
The silence in combination with cc being able to be used after it expires will be an insane stam drain and especially in no cp you will need an unrealistic amount of stamina to have any hopes of winning an extended fight since stamblades got handed all the tools they need to become a very very strong brawler in this patch. Power extraction will also become a very strong aoe spammable that has a chance to apply major defile and cant even be dodged so there goes dodging.
A fight against a good stamblade will go on after the silence and first cc if you arent dead by then, because the good stamblades can actually fight extended fights and wont run away just because the first burst didnt work out. The bad stamblades will still be bad stamblades only that they will have a tool that will make survival for any mag build very hard with barely investing something to do so.

The equivalent of current incap for magclasses is fighting inside a negate for 3 seconds but be unable to leave it under any circumstance while having to deal with stamblade burst and not being able to use any of your main resource to defend yourself.

In which world is this balanced again? A stamblade only server so people cant cloak away?

Scorch is very, very clunky and completely not smooth in rotation. It is essentially a mandatory spammable by design that is not very spammable.

As a Magden player I have to disagree. I love the way Scorch works. It feels fresh, unique and fast paced.

I would like to hear explanation on how they can't address everything and are in it for the long haul for balance, yet one existing class gets touched every version on PTS and the others for the most part do not even get communication acknowledging their feedback. Its not even about whether they are doing the right balance changes anymore to me. It's about how they are prioritizing 1 class seemingly over the others.

I wonder if this has to do with the class rep feedback.
