Ideas to revive Melee Magicka Nightblade?

From a Melee Magicka Nightblade perspective the class hasn't been complimented the best to keep it a thing. I run around in any PvP area be it Cyrodiil, Imperial City, Or Bgs and feel like the only person why plays this playstyle of Magicka Nightblade! The damage compared to our ranged side of the class is definitely not of equal.. everything about it seems pretty good except for light attacks and concealed weapon.

Concealed Weapon doesn't feel strong at all. Some can say "Merciless and Soul harvest is all you need." that combo is very predictable and hard to get off clean.. I feel with Melee Magblade that's all you can do unless you wear a proc set which you shouldn't rely on a proc set. If the combo fails you're stuck fighting forever trying to hit the same combo over and over again leading the fight to be endless! Speed in stealth doesn't help being in the opponents face during combat, now I'm not saying to remove speed in stealth as I know there are Magblades who play hand in hand with stealth and Concealed Weapon.. I'm saying maybe a possibility to get a damage increase or debuff or a passive to improve it in any way shape or form.

Light Attackswith melee weapons with any class should scale with the highest max/damage. This would help Melee magblades and would also help other mag classes who use melee weapons instead of staves. I would say this would be an interesting change to all magicka toons that prefer melee. If that somehow seems to overpowered make it a Melee Magblade only thing somehow whether it be passives or attached to concealed!

This is my favourite way to play and many others.. but I only see myself in any pvp area playing this playstyle!

- I had posted this in another part of the forum already.

Lastly how do you guys think ZOS could revive Melee Magicka Nightblade? all memes aside.. I'm very interested to seeing ideas :) Loppy (@Concealed_Weapon)

    Most of the successful magblades I see in Imperial City are melee, these days. Close-range is necessary to use Mass Hysteria, hit Merciless Resolve without delay, and land Soul Harvest or Solve Tether or Eye of the Storm. Honorable mention to Lotus Fan

    You can also use 2-Handed on magblade. I ran Greatsword/Restoration Staff with Crafty Alfiq & Bright-Throat's for a while. The 2H ult is ridiculous and can almost 1-shot people in PvE builds lol. Concealed weapon is super stronk atm with really high damage, though I also kept Swallow Soul on my resto backbar for range. Greatsword magblade is SO fun! Highly recommend.

    Needs 2 things:
    1. Rapid regen to be a self only heal
    2. Concealed to be able to compete with melee spammables like dizzy swing
    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    That's one thing that's frustrating too.. the ranges while in combat are weird.. I could lotus fan then fear and the fear wont cc as I feel the game thinks I'm not in range. you could be next time someone and fear wont work, not all the time but quite a bit frequently I'd say!

    Why after 6 years does staff light attack still fail to hit the target ~20-50% of the time at point blank range.

    Make light attacks with no matter what weapon scale not only with highest stat, but with highest damage & penetration as well.
    I want 2h light attacks to scale off my 4K spell dmg & 16k spell penetration, not my 3k weapon penetration...

    Need to do something about how squishy melee magblade is while wearing light armor.

    IMO

    Concealed weapon - Should give the 10% damage reduction, not grim focus.

    Grim Focus - Would really really love it if using the 5 stack bow proc reset the cooldown on grim focus back to 40 seconds. This I want especially for PvE but also PvP. Also would really love it for the proc to stay up for the entire duration of the remaining buff and please speed up its projectile travel time.

    Piercing mark - Bugged and completely useless. From a PvP perspective, casting it on anyone lets every Tom, *** and Harry in the vicinity know there's nightblade about to attack them. Instead this ability should grant a physical and spell penetration boost applied to the caster only.

    Impale - Boost its execute range to atleast 30% - 40%. Yes it has a ranged advantage but its super difficult to land on anyone due to the fact that when most people are low on health they tend to heal + dodge roll.

    I would also like to see the 25% movement speed from concealed weapon be attached to shadowy disguise but locked behind wearing 5 light armor to keep it away from stamina nightblades. Stamblades already have enough escape tools and heavy armor magblades tend to be using the other morph.

    Remove cast times on their ultimate's.

    Address magblade self healing so that we don't need to run 4 - 5 healing skills just to stay alive in PvP.
