Give nightblade a Critical Surge type ability
erio
✭✭✭✭✭
I personally, would like to see blur (or another really useless skill) replaced/reworked to act like a stamsorcs critical surge. healing you when you deal critical damage. Next patch zos is really trying to make nightblades focus heavily on crit (thats my take atleast), and with all the new proc sets about to be going around, and the 10% damage reduction gone and replaced with a critical damage increase, I think this sort of ability could be what a BATTLEGROUND/NOCP stamina nightblade's toolkit needs.
It makes sense from a class identity perspective
Zos has just proven they're okay with reskinning abilities (the new stamsorc skill)
Brawler nightblades really lack on healing (especially with the healing nerfs)
More survivability that doesnt rely on a busted cloak or shade.
Who uses blur anyway (or replace another useless ability like Malevolent offering or path of darkness)
Edit: A potential Siphoning strikes buff instead could be it too.

Very good point.1 -
Larcomar✭✭✭✭✭No, do not.I personally, would like to see shattering prison (or another really useless sorc skill) replaced/reworked to act like a nightblades shadowy disguise. Oh, wait, then all my toons would be identical....2

Vermintide✭✭✭✭No, do not.With Blur, I would rather see it given back the Expedition buff, so it can be used as a more defensive alternative to Race Against Time. It was very useful before that change.0

JinxxND✭✭✭✭No, do not.I personally would like to see nightblades get major brutality/sorcery from siphoning/leeching strikes and take it off power extraction/sap essence outside of that they need to increase the base duration of the shadow barrier by 2 seconds so 5-1-1 dark cloak nb and pretty much any nb not running at least 2 heavy can get the armor buff for the entire duration of dark cloak and it would slightly help all nb overall with 2 added seconds on the shortest armor buff in the game. Outside of general game performance issues the healing nerf and cast times I think nb will finally be back in a decent spot and be able to really take advantage of the new crit dmg with a solid stat build. I think IF they keep the current healing nerf of 60% in PvP dark cloak should also get minor vitality while active for brawlers to help with the poor healing on the class but I think if they just revert the 60% back to 50% it should be in an okay spotEdited by JinxxND on July 25, 2020 4:30PMPC NA -

Rally would probably still be preferred due to the heal. It's the only burst heal available to most stamina. But I do agree, it would make sense if Nightblade had major brutality somewhere. Perhaps attach it to dark cloak.0 -

I think you are misrepresenting the OP's position. The OP never said that they "want[ed] skills for some classes to be added to another..." The OP clearly asked for a skill "...to act like a stamsorcs critical surge."
ESO has many skills in this game that have overlapping similarities without being exact copies.0 -
erio✭✭✭✭✭Yes, Rework/Replace a nightblade ability with a Critical Surge type ability.Im hoping for a siphoning buff, right now 600 health every second or two aint cutting it. Some clown said that as if anyone even uses it for the heal0
