    The real problem with nightblade is the cast time and silence on incap and bow proc travel time. Cloak is fine other than when certain skills break it when they shouldn't (bugs)

    When it lags in pvp (more often than not) having cast times on a class that is supposed to be/feel intricate in the way they delivers burst feels clunky af.

    Maybe I should try it, but recently I’ve found a lot of longtime players have quit so competition is a lot easier.

    Recently I’ve had a lot of BGs where I’ll go maybe 15-1, 10-0, etc... on all the classes. Maybe it’s my time spot but competition doesn’t seem very tough these days, a lot of new PvPers. It makes it hard to gauge what’s competitive and what isn’t.

    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

    I agree here. I absolutely hate playing my NB the most in lag. I might be able to get away with more because someone cant hit me or counter cloak quick enough, but trying to kill quickly is out the window when it takes 3 seconds to use an instant ability, and even a .4 sec cast time makes the ability not go off at all.

    Dark cloak is good you definitely feel the minor protection and the heal paired with vigor and rally and for magblade rapid regeneration is nice.

    What's your build? I was thinking of trying clever alchemist + smuggler + zaan in 5L, then use potion reduction glyphs to bring the potion cooldown down to 30 secs so it matches the duration of smugglers, and just living without clever alchemist 100% uptime. Getting major expedition from smugglers will let me use phantasmal escape. I haven't played with dark cloak for about half a year, and I need a change of pace.

    you sure you can feel it? cuz everyone says minor prot is bugged and doesnt give you any buffs.

    No, dont make cloak cost more the more you use it, this disadvantages primarily stamblades, but cloak is literally the entire class identity for mag, and stam.

    Make the cost scale on max Magicka.
    Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.

    Here is my tuppence worth...

    I took my pvp stamblade into Cyrodiil last night, yes, cloak was inconsistent. Sometimes I was still being hit with it on, sometimes I was invisible. And this was often at longer ranges as well, so no anti invis could have been in effect.

    It made life significantly more difficult and annoying.

    I recently dueled a stamblade with my magnecro and all i can say is that this was the most boring fight i ever Had. 90% of my skills are single target and i cant even fully buff up without a target (Degeneration). The Nightblade just rolls my force pulse, sets me off Balance with tactian and sneaks on me in cloak, channels heavy attack into incap and easily has 30% damage increase on me (exploiter+incap) and nearly one shots me. If this fails, just roll and cloak a bit until incap is up again and repeat. All this time i cant hit due to cloak and dodge roll synergy.

    I tried to use magelight to prevent cloaking but the range is too smal and i am not able to catch a Nightblade with easy acces to major Expedition. Also mage light cuts my magicka really fast and i cant sustain it with a high uptime. In the end i killed the Nightblade by camping in my totem and perma block when He is invis. But thats faaaar from being fun and satisfying combat system. Its boring af.

    so the nightblade puts a lot of effort in his fight and u camp in ur totem and win without detection pots?

    Lol, when you put it that way hahaha. Post kind of backfires on them.
    Hey everyone! Look! It's a signature!

    bad NBs depend on cloak, good ones survive even if they are visible. it is a difficult class, which unfortunately is often chosen by new players and i think it needs some minor buffs/rework, but cloak is fine.

    Stamnbs needs particular buffs and more tools to survive outside of just cloaking away. Selfheals and more dmg that isnt so easy to just dodge away from.

    And pretty much everything that Stamblades need, magblades need even more. I just turned my Khajiit magblade back into a stamblade, and that alone added ~20% to the damage I was doing. It's insane how much stronger stamina is.
