Lotus Fan Interupt will bring back Mblade Identity.

Put an Interrupt onto Lotus fan so we can actually run Concealed weapon over Crushing Shock and another skill in parties. It doesn't need to be a stun as the skill is already powerful with it's Debuff. Lotus Fan with Concealed weapon feels so much better to play as a Magica Night Blade. It brings back it's "Class Identity" that so much of a discussion these days is about. The Number 1 thing a Nightblade should be able to do is use it's teleport skill to interrupt a Healer or NPC that is about to either heal it's group, rez,or use a "Channeled" or "Charged" attack against the player or group in question. Putting an AOE debuff on it is nice, but unless it does something more then just damage the target (AOE or not), I see no reason not to just use another skill in its place and the place of Concealed weapon, I see no reason to be a close range Blood magic assassin, when I can just stand at range and parse. You Stole everything that made a Mblade powerful from us. You can at least give us this one small thing as an incentive to be a close range blood mage assassin and not a wanna be Sorc with no pets.

✭✭✭Sure, that’d be pretty cool if it did. Help magblades apply pressure in melee.Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
Havoc Warhammer - Alair
LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
Condemned and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten2 -

✭I want to see the speed buff from Concealed Weapon rolled into the base skill. I wouldn't even mind seeing it uncoupled from Cloak altogether, and given a trigger that doesn't require stealth.
Personally, I'd like to see Minor Breach added to CW.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Isn’t a gap closing interrupt part of Templar’s unique tools. Not that it really matters, since any gap closer can be followed by a bash weave to interrupt without even using a GCD. Sure that costs a little Stamina, but it also deals some damage.1 -

Is it? When I think NB I’d say stealth/cloak counts as the NB defining ability. People have complained about the aoe fear and merciless proc being reused on other classes, but I’m not sure if they’re class defining. The fear was because of it being what a magblade could bring to group play that another class couldn’t, with merciless I took the complaint to be Stamsorc and NB would have a similar playstyle outside cloak.
When I think Templar I think ritual. Tbh I didn’t even know the Templar charge interrupted or that it was unique.Looking for any guildies I used to play with:

Yeah, it’s not used very much. It used to be bugged and would lock up the user after charging. Might be fixed now, I’m not sure.0 -

✭IMO: Crushing Shock does a much better job at this (I never use charge to interrupt on my magplar). Since magblades have 2 class spammable options, there's little reason to not take Crushing Shock over Force Pulse
If they added an interrupt to Lotus Fan, I think that would make it what they've been calling an "overloaded skill". It would have to cost much more, deal less damage, or lose a mechanic. They just added AoE Minor Vulnerability on PTS, so interrupt seems to be in the other directionmilesrodneymcneely2_ESO wrote: »I want to see the speed buff from Concealed Weapon rolled into the base skill.
Off-topic, but I agree. @milesrodneymcneely2_ESO Should make a thread for it'

Daddysadface✭✭✭Assassin, Stam or Magica used to be the "Hard Counter" for Sorcs and other Squishies. Now it has just become it's greatest enemy, same moves, same rotation, same feel, same game play. again, Disgusting.0

Just that it doesn´t work in eso that way - the supposed hardcounter of assassins (tanks) is unable to catch them ever. And even if they would be able to - they couldn´t kill them.<Noricum>
I live. I die. I live again.

✭I'm a primarily stamina nightblade but I still use lotus fan from my small pool of magicka because I love the skill. When I first made my character she was a hybrid of stamina and magicka and now she is mostly stamina.0 -

Sorry for the tangent, @tsaescishoeshiner. I suffer from a terminal case of tangentitis.0
