Hello folks,

as a stamblade main always prefering the 2h/bow playstyle or even dw/bow and bow/bow (too bad those builds arent too viable except for ganking - always hoped they would make dw/bow a thing in PvP) I am quite disappointed about ALL changes made to the nightblade class this patch:

- Lets start with suprise attack: Yes this ability was strong and Imo its supposed to be stronger or atleast as strong as weapon abilities. Every class shouls have a stam/magicka spammable - instead of nerfing SA they should have given the other classes a viable spammable with synergy from the ability kit like the stun from stealth suprise attack has got. Classes should feel unigue, BUT all stam classes seem to run sword and board because of Heroic slash - a spammable compareable strong as suprise attack on the life servers. SnB nightblades will run heroic slash over SA next patch for sure - some even do atm for duels for more incaps.

- The change to incap - removing defile/stun and adding silence is crazy especially if ur being outnumbered that spell even counters stamblades - no cloak, no shade, not even talking about magicka classes. It also caters to the SnB tank playstyle since u will still have access to major defile.

- adding 15% migation to assasins will and removing stamreg + minor brutality makes stamblade hilarious tanky - stam nb will be the tankiest class on a SnB spec next patch by far. So I think most players that picked a nightblade intended to be assasins NOT a brawler like all other stam classes (its not like we dont have enough 30k hp SnB stam tanks in cyro )

So to sum it up the braweler nightblade spec got some huge buffs. Pretty sure the incap change wont survive the pts anyways so. If u are getting deleted by stam nbs almost instant on the life servers ur build is just bad and u need to adapt. Since everybody is running SnB and high hp killing people was hard even before especially with all the defensive monster sets: earthgore, bodgan, trollking, bloodspawn and the lack of good offensive stamina monster sets.

Im curios from u fellow nightblade players if u want to play ur nightblade as brawler - assasin/ganker or as stustain 2h/bow build or completely different :P .
