A LOT of players still think it reflects, and seeing that fireball reinforces that impression.
The problem is there are too few occasions when I think "wow, I'm glad I had wings slotted" for it to feel like a genuinely useful skill.

Actually I use wings more in pve than in pvp. I use wings to tank cloudrest but unslotted wings on my mdk for pvp.^^

Wings is fine. Magdk sustain is fine. Magblade is fine. Necro is fine.
Actual "balance" is about as good as ever, there are very few unfair skills/sets left in the game. Only ones i see an argument for is vamp drain, snipe, cloak having no fatigue, and as much as i love the skill, crystal slab ulti build morph could use a cost increase...and setwise, literally only caluurions is a legit "plz gear kill for me" set, while meridias is really the only "plz gear save me from getting 1vX'd" set.
Besides that, there are a few skills that could use a buff or change (dk wings not being one of them), but overall its pretty fair.

correct on both points for me.
1. i felt that if i reflect a fireball to my enemy, they will get hurt. but as stamdk, that damage barely hurts anyone. and again, its 50% only. sure, it can reflect quite a bit of a combo, but you're on the hurt scale too....
2. there's a lot more useful, better, stronger skills that does the same and more. there's no point of it being used. Cauterize, Frag Shield, Vol Armor, Vigor, RaT, Shuffle/Evade, etc...............
Sad but its true.

Most recently i have played magblade most, followed by a decent helping of stamplar, stamden, Stamsorc, magplar and magden.
The only reason i have been on stamden is i just prefer the stamina version - i played my vampire nord warden as magicka, no vamp drain, and once i got my "combos" down, i did just as well as my stamden...but stamden and magblade are my most played classes, and I've never really enjoyed magden so i swapped him back to stam.
Stamsorc, mine is an orc. I play him SnB and DW.. He was originally a high elf magsorc, but I've always hated the cheese of magsorc, so i swapped and haven't looked back.
As far as stamplar, i was actually doing way better on magplar, but stamplar is a class i haven't played much of so i wanted to try it out...and i sucked with it, til i l2p'd, a build that is quite unconventional.
And magblade is just fun. I am probably more experienced than your average nightblade, but i have played both dark elf and breton magblades each patch that they have been "bottom tier" and consistently had top scores in bg's, and zero issues that i wouldn't have had on every other class in cyrodiil, whether solo, grouped, zerg v zerg, outnumbered or whatever. I do feel i need to mention i play almost exclusively with dark cloak, because like magsorc, i find the whole now ya see me now ya dont thing pretty cheesy.
Edited to add: Magdk i haven't played as much recently simply because of faction lock. I didn't find wings op vs anything, nor have i really noticed it as op when im attacking against them. But i also make sure i don't slot all one kind of ability.
The general in game population, as well as the general forum population, as well as humans in general tend to go with the herd.
If you want to play ____, there is nothing stopping you besides experience, knowledge, lag and bluescreens.
As far as it being unbalanced, yes as far as TTK its kinda ridiculous, but there isn't much as far as classes, skills, or sets that make things possible on one build that isnt on another, through the same means or others.
I’m surprised to see you saying that. A couple of questions:
- in BGs are you in higher MMR?
- on your magblade are you a healer or dps?
- do you solo queue or premade?
I went straight from magblade to templar and immediately felt a large boost in the strength of my character. On my magplar I haven’t been playing as much so I think I’m more middle tiers - you sometimes get higher MMR players and sometimes new players.
I also took my MagWarden out for a spin. It’s good but I found it hard to burst people solo because of no execute or strong spammable. It does well in team play but it doesn’t have the punch magplar has. I’m still learning the class though and am only assault/support 8.
Maybe my playstyle is better suited to magplar? I typically mix dps and healing in pvp.

In BGs, my dark elf magblade is by far my most played in BGs, so his MMR is crazy lol. My other mb, Breton, isnt as high im sure, but whether its just the population of ps4na or whatever, i see generally the same people on all of my characters.
I almost always solo queue, but obviously games with decent teammates are better than me+nubs vs premade vs not premade not nubs.
I roll as dps, occasionally ill throw on rapid regen or healing ward, and sometimes funnel health, but 90% the time my off heals consist of sap essence/shadow path/barrier ult. Enough for anywhere between 50k-350k depending on group comp.
While I'm not going to say nightblade has quite the same aoe damage as magplar, it still is decent with soul tether+sap, and its single target burst is way higher.
As far as tankiness, yeah a templar can easily blockcast BOL or whatever and go mist around, but i find magblade has a much more seemless transition between playing defensively and offensively than any other class - as long as dark cloak and siphoning is up, there's not really much time in a fight where i "turtle" like most classes have to do.
This of course, is with dark cloak and no shade, something most people don't do.
My bars are relatively static and have been for a while now.
Merciless, flex/cripple/debilitate/swallow, fear, lotus, sap/swallow, soul harvest/tether
Uhhh...mirage?(snare removal)/RAT on the one with psijic, path, siphoning/debilitate/swallow/ward/rr/meditate, dark cloak, harness, reviving barrier/tether
Heavy attack->lotus->fear etc, light attack spam on resto if needed with infused steal health enchant.
It could be magplar is just more your style, or you're bored with magblade, but when i see people saying X spec is super weak i just laugh.
There are some things that are just inherent in classes; dk's are tanky and cc/snare heavy, wardens are fast with aoe burst and great as a teammate with either heals or buffs, templars have the purify and off heals and are top with warden for aoe damage...
...Nightblades however are not necessarily the stealthy class- they are the single target burst kings, regardless of what anyone says there is no other class with burst as good as when you finally get that lotus/soul harvest/merciless combo to hit. Magsorc is a close second though, and is far less tanky unless LOS abusing pets.
When i was on magden yeah, the lack of execute kinda hurt ill admit but since mine is nord, i used bloodspawn+shimmering for fast ult, and used a similar setup to my nightblade, so the health scaled heal was plenty.
Lol enjoy my novel, I'm stuck in a vehicle.
Please keep in mind this isn't a "buff dks" thread, just want an opinion on this.
I think I've seen this before mentioned in the forums, but what do you think of wings giving some form of expedition like wardens? Being that now it is mostly a underused and niche skill, and dks are not a mobile class at all.

DKs both Magicka and Stamina have best (snip) dots and long dmg presure

Hahahahaaha, you're funny.
DoTs that are not worth running because they deal only 10% more damage than a spammable over 10x the time period and provide no pressure since they can be outhealed by any HoT in the game? Yeah, those really are the best!

Advantage of dots is they do dmg all time even u Dodge roll. What standard spamable do not do.Dots can be stack. Every skilled DK stack dots then leap and using spamable. They can reach brutální presure while keepimg high resistance.

I have to agree with Royagi here... The DOT's are applied for utility rather than damage and actually entropy/degeneration does a lot more damage.
Stamina and Magicka apply breath and claw for additional damage before bursting. I would recommend reading the skill before you decide they are good.

DKs both Magicka and Stamina have best tank, dots and long dmg presure. They are king in mele combat and also have access to mittigate any range builds. You can easily get expedition F.e. From potioins or guild skills. Give DKs expedition on wings is unbalanced madness i understand u would like to be unstobable killing machine. Every class must have disadvantage.
