Tbh Stamblade is ruined for me with cast time on incap, unless they remove that I don't see it "coming back" too soon. Sure you can use 2H ult instead... but so can everyone.
But again I didnt test anything on PTS so take it with a grain of salt.

From what I have read...and "heard"....is that dots and such are going to suck, so that's where my thinking was coming from. Those classes that are less "dot heavy" would by nature be stronger, but then again maybe not?
Im also looking at what I will be able to make cuz I am wanting a strong "in yo face" type of character since I have the stand back and go pew pew ones that can get a tad boring and static so am wanting to up the notch a bit (lag permitting) and see how I fair having to think on my feet a bit more. NB seems to fit that mould, but if its gonna suck eggs...well, yea....
I genuinely hope stamblade never ever comes back. Of all the classes in this game, stamblade is the worst with its gank burst which totally denies certain builds from even reacting.

That's the role of the assassin class design, to kill you before you can blink, which is still possible to do.
Good players are ungankable for the most part, so maybe become one.

Sounds like you might want to consider a Stamden or StamDK

Ok, still a bit of a rookie to all this...whats this "tank meta" people mention? And while not the answers I was hoping for thank you much for not sugar coating it!!
