    Honestly, even on my NB I prefer stealth pots over cloak. Sure it has more of a cooldown, but I can make better stealth pots that offer more reliability than I can if I just spam cloak. :(

    Really? I thought being able to spam it through a skill to mitigate damage at will was the POWAH of cloak.

    Yeah. I'm pretty dumb with cloak (because of the powah), so the counters get me pretty effectively and I get stuck in the mud. With invis pots, I drape along the edge of combat and use the one with the longest duration or this one if I was smacked around for a bit:
    ESSENCE OF IMMOVABILITY

    LEVEL 50 CP150
    Restore 8369 Health immediately.
    Grants Major Fortitude which increases your Health Recovery by 20% for 36.6 seconds.

    Become immune to knockback and disabling effects for 8 seconds.

    Vanish for 12 seconds.
    (45 second cooldown)

    It usually keeps me out of trouble if I bide my time and don't screw it up. :D
    The other key is that my NB is a filthy Argonian.

    Why can thiefs and Assassin's be more tanky then a Dragonknight?

    I don’t understand requests like this. Why not just play a NB? They usually boil down to wanting what’s good about NB and keeping what’s good about the class they’re playing.

    Well, I'm not for giving Cloak to everyone but if you're counting pots, all classes have access to shields and pets at least, counting some skills or sets. There's no reason to ignore those if you take into account pots.

    LOL. I do agree Zos is going way to far homogenizing the game. I think that Zos is taking these steps because the lack the talent to figure out how to mange this game properly. It has been poorly managed since before the game launched. I agree it is very sad.

    Yup, they have no consistent vision of this game, but it's not because of lack of skill, its because they simply don't know their game, they have no idea about what makes classes unique, what makes them strong and weak, what makes certain sets strong and weak. They overbuff and overnerf things since launch.

    To the OP, since all stam players get better fear than NBs I think that all should get cloak to, but buffed somehow.

    I could not agree more that Zos has not had a consistent vision for this game. It has changed every update at times. I put this squarely on the shoulders of Matt's lack of management skills.

    TBF, they say these changes are a result of them developing a codified vision for combat in the game. It seems more that they are dumbing it down so they have the intellect to have a chance to manage it. lol

    I swear, if we had all classes with the same exact skill lines but with different names and colors, there would still be people wanting to play nightblade with the green effects of warden or something.

    Classes need to be different, otherwise what R(ole) are we choosing in our MMO RPG?

    We need to change our mindsets. The tank / heal / dps trilogy is played out. And the classic class archetypes are so Dungeons & Dragons. It’s time we evolved. Everyone gets Cloak!

    It could probably happen IF they added Illusion staves with an appropriate skill-line, but they created the whole game based around a limited choice of weapon types and their skill-lines (DW, 2H, 1H & shield, Bow, Destro staves, and Resto staves) as evidenced by the arena weapons they've made (Black Rose Prison, Dragonstar Arena, Maelstrom Arena). So there's virtually no chance of us receiving deeper build variety unless they completely redesign the whole game and its drop systems at this point. The original vision for ESO was just too narrow, and it needs to evolve soon if it doesn't want to lose interest.

    Hah, I tried to use my Stam Sorc in place of my NB last night. Did not go well. The biggest problem is you cannot quickly or reliably re-cloak. Was in Imperial City Sewers, then streets and AD was everywhere. I swear they're like a colony of ants, just constantly running thru the sewers and the streets, back and forth. Everytime I turned a corner I kept running into them, even when I was NOT looking for a fight.

    That's the real advantage of cloak, it's freedom. Freedom to not have to fight every single AD you meet. And while Sorc has a number of improvements over NB, they all fail in comparison to the NB's subtlety. Problem with the NB -now- and the upcoming one, is to be honest I rarely use any of their skills anymore. I use 3x NB skills, maybe an Ult in Cyrodiil and that's it. Most of the rest are so under water it's just not worth bending everything else to get one skill to do what it says it should do. Skills should have synergy and work together not just let's nerf it because ppl don't like it.

    Some things in life we don't like however there is a reason for them.

    At this point they might as well remove all classes, separate all abilities and morphs in to Stamina/Magicka, streamline racial passives, weapon abilities, etc., and let a person simply build a character upon creation with no "class" attached to it and play that way.

    That's where we're headed, anyway.

    Interesting observation. It would break continuity however not a terrible idea.

    Could also do same thing with sets, we could just build our own from a pool of templates. ZOS can update a template without reforming entire build. Could give these things our own names too.

    It would be funny to keep creating threads crying for other classes skills to be overperforming, like i dunno, Sorc pets...

    ..oh wait.

    Cloak is fine for PvE; for PvP overperforms. Its 100% dmg reduction, with some cautious placement and range, you`re basically inmortal and can get from low to full in seconds.

    And i think it´s fine.

    That every class has skills that "overperforms". We need to give classes skills that make other classes look envious. That´s good. Keep crying about how good skills other class has ends having a boomerang effect.

    Ever heard of something called stamina sorcerer? Worst class in everything,even speed, claok might give it a fighting chance against other classes.

    Just kidding, I don't want to be a filthy coward, not in pvp at least.

    Sames like a good idea in pve though for open world and roleplay.
