A glimmer of hope for nightblades!

They have given us back our stun for incap at 120 ulti. This is a step in the right direction! Thank you zos please bring back our former buffs!

I'm happy for my NBs friends, they could use more of course but hey it's something

Its prob only temporary to fix that bug they mentioned with block. NB is prob destined to be pretty subpar for a few years now.

Great change that should've been implemented long ago. Silence was such a bizarre choice.

Shadowasrial · March 2020

Now let’s hope they remove the cast time and give us back defile

I played NB all evening today. And with the server properly reacting in PvP and with the stun even though movement won't get stopped, NB feels incredible nice again.

olsborg · March 2020

Yea theres this wierd bug, where stunned ppl (from incap atleast) can slide around on the ground while moving..

Actually really excited about this change stun on incap will really help to secure kills it be very nice if they give us defile as well maybe even major fracture back on SA.

Shadowasrial · March 2020

I think if they give major fracture back on surprise attack and defile back to incap and remove the cast time then nb will once again be strong enough to contend with other classes.

Stun back on incap i like, cast time removal from ALL ults i like.

Fracture on SA and defile on incap no.

NB has invis and therefore first strike, if you want the other buffs back you lose invis.

No cast time and stun back is more than enough to get kills, if you cant then its your issue.

I have to disagree. You see nightblade has a very hard time applying pressure. Especially since almost all of our buffs were stripped away. And with how strong healing is major defile is needed on the incap in order for the ulti to have an impact. Every other class ulti has either an aoe or cone damage that also has a stun or a dot attached for added pressure. Hell templar crescent sweep has a cone does 60% increased damage to your targets in front of you and has a dot attached. So pardon me if a stun followed by 20% extra damage for 6 seconds isn’t enough to apply pressure to your target. Also teleport strike and it’s morphs should apply a snare to both morphs to help slow down the target and give nb a chance to land attacks

now if we can just get our purge back with cloak...

olsborg · March 2020

defile on incap hardly has any effect on templars and stamcros and stamdens, and those 3 classes are stupid op in pvp atm. Id love for stamblade atleast to get more ways to heal in their class kit, as it is now the entire siphoning tree is useless (cept for 1 skill)

Mr_Walker · March 2020

Great news! This game definitely needs more CC, especially with the fine state break free and CC immunity are in Cyro right now.

I just want this skill to work consistently.

You used to jump to the target instantaneously. Now you hit the button, hear the sound effect, and then a delay until you actually jump, if it even goes off at all.

Don't show to much excitement, or ask for reverts on too many abilities too quickly. ZoS might pull a Blizzard and nerf the class three times harder and for much longer.

I agree with you about nb pressure so how about this, remove the maj beserk from reapers mark and add a 4sec defile? No 1 skill should do damage, damage buff, defile, resource return and a stun, i mean thats dumb right?

I got loads of ideas if you are willing to get rid of invis to balance the class properly, but people cling to that crap skill so hard which is just holding the class back. With mist form going the skill could be like an effect similar to mist form but npc's cant see you and some other movement/damage buff or whatever.
