    If you think stamblades are not and have not been the / one of the strong class in PvP then you are delusional.

    You have the most potent mitigation tool in the game (dodge) for which you do not even have to sacrifice a bar slot and that you can spam definitely - unlike other classes. You got access to cloak and you can teleport through solid objects. All of this pair with the high damage and the lack of viable counterplay and protection against cloak make you the strongest PvP class right next to stamdens.

    But one-shotting people from cloak and still crying on the forums how weak stamblades and how OP all other classes are has a proud 5-year tradition in the stamblade community.

    Imagine getting oneshot from cloak and claim that there is a lack of counter of cloak when the game is full of skill that require nothing from the player and work against cloak.

    Only because you get oneshot from cloak dosen't mean everyone get killed so easily by a NB.
    I might do it too if i get in one of those low mmr match where people don't know what to do and are really slow at react no impen etc.
    Then you go on high mmr match and people are not so bad to die like you claim and especially know how to work against cloak.

    Oh, look. The Nightblade lobby has come out of hiding.
    *rolls eyes*

    What Galar said is mostly true.
    Dodge is very powerful and its main drawback, the fatigue, nullified by Cloak. Another extremely powerful skill.
    NBs have INSANE damage output. Well, stamblades. If you think Galar is exaggerating being oneshot out of stealth, well... maybe. But a gank build with Onslaught can easily hit you for 90% of your health. Mind you, you're not seeing the ganker coming thanks to OP spammable invis. So no shields up, unless you were cautious enough. If you still don't believe me, I've seen a friend of mine oneshot an emp out of stealth. And not a potato emp, a somewhat experienced one. Doesn't happen each day, but point is, stamblades have damage. You'd be in denial to disagree.

    NBs have historically been very well-rounded in Cyrodiil and among the top classes. Especially stamblades. Hate on sorcs because our stupid pet finally elevated us to top tier, but we've spent years in mid tier before. Whereas NBs have always had a spot in the sun. Your trash talking about sorc players here is highly inappropriate. Make yourselves useful and discuss Incap.

    You make claims about nightblade and then justify them by talking about onslaught.

    Onslaught is not a nightblade ability.

    Youre claiming invisibility to be OP with its ability to approach unseen, yet every single class has access to invis.

    Everything you just described can be 100% done with another class. While still having access to all their other class perks/abilities.

    Nightblades get nerfed and pigeonholed into this because of misinformed posts like these.

    Nb tanks, nerfed, healers, nerfed, brawlers/aoe/grouplay, etc. Yet uninformed people on the forums dont see this.

    Nightblades last strength was single target. Now thats nerfed. Thats everything nerfed.

    And here you are claiming the class is still top, because of non-class skills. lol

    oh look another magsorc pointing at NB roll eyes

    Stamina Nb is weak on BG but good in open world no one is saying otherwise but there people like Galar that go overboard and claim things that are simply not possible to do vs experienced player.
    You might get ganked one time and youre not prepared but if you return to find the ganker and die the same way that's on you(or if you die everytime you get ganked) same if you die everytime a NB cloak near you.

    Spammable invis like 4 time in a row before youre oom even less if youre in fight and use fear/shade or cloak break also everyone can sneak a stamina NB is not going around spamming cloak is not even possible.
    Onlaught is not a NB ability.

    The dodge fatigue is nullified only if you can cloak succesfully all the time and is simply not the case since cloak will break if you play against competent people,is simply not possible to think that all the fight vs a NB they will reset the fight by just pressing cloak like many people and especially magsorc that come in every NB thread and point at cloak claim.
    If a Nb can cloak against you all the time without a problem you should think about what youre doing wrong

    also if you think no pet sorc is not strong youre delusional,pet sorc is just faceroll.
    Next patch stamina Nb dmg is tuned down too and if you expect a class that can offer only dmg to not have strong dmg then dunno what to say to you.
    Magsorc got high damage mobility and defense and better utility in fight with negate yet they are the class that complain about everything,some of them even claim the class is weak or the best one i have read on the forum was"finally after the nerf to merciliess i can play my magsorc instead of my magebalde"because one of the strongest class and the best magika class in the game was somewhat outshined by one of the worst magika class in the game.

    i will never understand magika sorc main logic.

    I'm a NB main on no-CP only. Buffs > Stealth(crit) > Crushing Weapon > LA/Onslaught/enchant DD will one-shot a lot of people or come close and I have a well rounded build, not 100% gank. It's fun, but a little boring.

    What? Since when does cloak reset the stacking debuff that increase the dodge rolling cost?

    The only people Stamblades are one shotting are the pvp glass canon noobs who don’t spec for enough defense or rely on proc’d defensive sets that may or may not be up at a given time making them vulnerable.

    Btw, I’m not a stamblade I’m a Magblade main, I don’t even have a stamblade.

    You Sorcs are delusional. Sorcs are the whiney OP class, and are being buffed despite already being the most numerous class in pvp. I see more every day, if they weren’t OP there wouldn’t be so many of you, always ready to cry on the forums whenever anything would happen to balance you with other classes.

    What’s worse is you guys call for nerfs on other classes despite already being stronger.

    There’s nothing a stamblade can do that a stamsorc can’t do better with streak, except gank noobs.

    Not technically resetting, but practically resetting the dodge fatigue window. Shadowy Disguise lasts 2.9 seconds. So it narrows down the fatigue window considerably, a second cloak essentially resets it because you can dodge roll for the initial cost again. Hence why Shade, Cloak and rolling are so powerful.

    I know Shade is bugged for months now, and they should fix it. But one can’t say with a straight eye the synergy between cloak and dodge rolling is weak.

    Not only do we have less stamina for that (duh), but we cannot reset the fatigue as easily. This is the main difference between stamblades and other stam classes, and why NBs are so infamous for rolly polly. The synergy between dodge and Cloak is really strong!
    Regarding the future sorc nerfs, I'd be fine with pets being nerfed but some non-pet stuff buffed. Remember we didn't ask for Healing Ward to be nerfed. ZOS pidgeonholed us there and I hope they get it right when the time comes. But I'm sure Nightblades will find their way to top tier in the next three months, just you wait!

    Directed to some other posters above (wasting my time here):
    Onslaught is not an NB skill, but it is very potent on a NB gank build. Kinda like Harness is fine on magblade, but ridiculously OP against magicka on a magsorc, thanks to shield stacking.
    Yes, invisibility is spammable on a stamblade. There's no cooldown like invis pots have. Even if you can only use it four times in a row, that's enough time to get to the target. There's a reason why gank builds are typically associated with NBs. You'd have to be really stubborn to deny this.

    Now, back to Incap, I don't wanna waste my precious time with trivial nonsense.

    You conveniently forget an invis pot lasts 16 seconds and doesn't use stamina.

    Cloak lasts 2.5 seconds which if the NB can even cloak 4 times is 10 seconds and uses a bunch of magicka.

    A stamblade will never be able to stay in cloak longer than an invis pot duration.

    Magblades can cloak from one end of Cyrodiil to another.

    So much misinformation spread by NBs again - such a shame.

    And yes, AoEs are on many classes / builds a waste of a bar slot unless you are running in a ball group or trying to wipe a zerg.

    NBs were even complaining about being too weak during the "golden age" of proc sets, when they could literally kill people from cloak before they could do anything about it.

    That's by the way also the reason why shields only last 6 seconds these days. Sorcs used to keep them up whiel traveling, giving them the additional HP to survive the inital onslaught of the NBs and thus giving them a chance to fight back. And NBs doing what they do best, cried on the forums how shields are complete OP and b/c the bad Sorcs actually sometimes fight can back unlike the other classes that were free kills. Even during these times NBs had the audacity to claim their class was the weakest and needed buffs.

    A stamblade will never be able to stay in cloak longer than an invis pot duration.

    Magblades can cloak from one end of Cyrodiil to another.

    You mayyy want to get out of there afterwards. Difficult with pot on cooldown. Or you need to change your timing because other players are around.

    But yes, magsorcs with pets and invis pots are clearly the best gankers in the game. So much better than the class with skill lines like "Assassination". We're effing Agent 47 Ninja Sorcs out there! Clearly!

    This is why people like Galarthor and me can't take you seriously. Full denial and strawman mode. What's worse, you're wasting everyone's time spilling nonsense, while Incap still needs attention. Bugger off and let us do our job here.

    - Its really hard to take most guys here serious :frowning:
    - neither the guys with the flapping wing pet getting oneshot by a high damage rollerblade build (U know that shields now need around 27-30k hp on a decent magicka build to get decent values and work with impen and resists :wink:@Galarthor @Lord-Otto - ofc if u debind breakfree or run 20k hp with divine/infused it will happen )
    - If u are talking about gankers while complaining about cloak/roll - I can tell u that if the gank fails those gankblades are 90% of the time free AP because these guys got zero sustain and for sure cant cloak/roll spam...
    - Ofc cloak/roll makes stamina rollerblade viable --> why do u guys think its like the only stam class running medium armor with 2h/bow instead of 30k hp SnB heavy... Id like to see some buffs to medium armor stamplars, stamsorc etc. And a nerf to SnB.
    - Rollerblade/mSorc are the kings of solo farming pugs. But in a premade battleground stack that plays high MMR u probalby wouldnt want a stamblade in ur team.
    - And yes stam nbs/ mSorcs are very strong on the live servers - but stam nb is getting some nerfs now mSorcs hopefully will get those next patch :wink:

    Not technically resetting, but practically resetting the dodge fatigue window. Shadowy Disguise lasts 2.9 seconds. So it narrows down the fatigue window considerably, a second cloak essentially resets it because you can dodge roll for the initial cost again. Hence why Shade, Cloak and rolling are so powerful.

    I know Shade is bugged for months now, and they should fix it. But one can’t say with a straight eye the synergy between cloak and dodge rolling is weak.

    Use an aoe, there's no reason a NB should be able to stay in cloak for 3 seconds against a competent player.

    It wastes a bar slot. And is useless vs Shade. But whatever, I see I won’t convince you that stamNB isn’t weak.

    AoE is a waste of a bar slot? Do you actually pvp outside the forums? I think that rates as one of the silliest forum posts I’ve ever read.

    Are you really trying to say stamblade is weak?

    The incap change is amazingly dumb though. To stay on topic.

    Right now on live, yea I would say so. I primarily pvp in cyrodiil no-CP and BGs, I think I saw one do well once called sneaky or something like that, otherwise yea they’re on the weaker side.

    In CP pvp I’ve been told that dodge rolling with CP dodge roll reduction makes them stronger, but that has nothing to do with NB, every stamina class could do the same thing and stamsorcs can do it better.

    Like today I think I saw a stamblade in a BG called Nofear or something like that. As a healer he kept trying to gank me, unsuccessfully, and I could ignore him. Break free, fear, keep moving and heal once or twice and negate an ultimate and a weak burst combo.

    I’m not trying to call that player out, just saying what they’re like in general. All a stamblade is good at is ganking noobs without pvp defense, the glass canons who haven’t figured out how to spec yet. I’d put the threat a stamblade poses in pvp near the bottom, well below magplars.

    I haven’t been successfully ganked by a stamblade in over 3 months. It’s completely a L2P issue. Besides ganking what can a stamblade do? Not much. Bow spec? Wardens are actually better at it, besides the fact that bow is one of the weakest pvp specs right now.

    So what happens if you use Mist Form when silenced via Incap? Do you have to Break Free first?

    What happens if you try to Incap someone who is already Mist Forming?
    Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.

    Yes, on a solo build it’s a waste of a bar slot, unless it’s an Ice Blockade.

    In high ranked BG I can agree but everything else they are anything but weak. Man, this keeps getting better and better. Where is my popcorn? You're still in denial that sNB can bridge the dodge fatigue via cloak to the point they are far more effective in evading damage than everyone else. And no, dark deal or BoL (whatever you are on about) won't let you evade (read: perma dodge) better than dodge + cloak + shade.

    And again, as a baseline: you can't sort out "general stuff" that works better with a certain class because of a class specific variable just to suit your agenda. That's not how it works.
