The problem with NBs is that many not that good players use it and then permacloak out of fear to get beaten up. Its super annoying and wastes a lot of time for the defender. To snipe players out of cloak is just a sign for being a weak player.
Thats why similary bad players feel like NBs would be so unfair and OP, because they can't defend themself properly before the NB is cloaked again and like that we get the nerf cries (which in many cases lead to a nerf).

But defending against a cloakspamming NB is insanely easy for any experienced player, so the NB itself will feel like it would be a bad class. You can maybe Snipe some PvP beginners or even skilled players if you snipe desynch them, but of course that won't feel strong in an open battle.

The reality is, the NB is one of the most hard maybe even the hardest class to master and I personally have never been good with it, even though I have years of PvP experience. BUT in the moment where you have mastered the NB they are insanely strong. The best NBs I know don't even need to cloak (they mostly use the healing morph), because they are just good players, they use mobility over hiding, even the shade though that got nerfed a bit and avoid a lot of damage like that. Just like that a Stamblade is amazing in Solo PvP, you can kite very well, close to a stamsorc, with the difference that the Sorc will use its speed, while the NB uses Shade porting. You can use the area around you better than a stamsorc, since a Stamsorc has to go around a rock, while the NB can port through it, that buys you a lot of time and more time leads to more regen, with the healing morph of the cloak you can be up to full health before the enemies reached you.
There are NBs out there that tank way more than DKs and heal more than templars and still deal a good amount of damage, you just need to do it right.
