Not on theme. This threads about nightblade. Don't try to sneak dk stuff in here. Nightblades are the cloaking class

Wasn't the theme more about asking anything? It's right on theme I think 😀

I tried cloak other day, couldn't use it when I had that elemental susceptibility ability ticking on me, what's the point in it if that just keeps pulling me out?

I don't think that's balanced, 1 minute at most would be ideal for the dragonknight

That's why I've been saying cloak needs a purge attached to it

I read this thread yesterday and thought it was a joke post. Now reading it again I actually think OP is serious.

I get that NB is underperforming in PvE. Not the worst class but up there. Problem is, the devs never take into consideration the impact balance changes will have on PvP, NB is already arguably the strongest and most versatile class in PvP and these proposed changes will make them god tier.

I would like to see NBs made stronger in pve, but not like this.

I'd like to suggest that the requirement to have five stacks of Merciless Resolve to fire Spectral Bow be removed. It is unfair that nightblades are required to light attack five whole times before they can use their 20k damage ability. Just give them a passive 500 weapon damage for slotting the ability on either bar to make up for the lack of stacks!

Cloak should give a damage shield too probably, right?

This is a step in the right direction to make this class playable, the only thing it needs now is to make cloak a permanent toggle ability, and merciless resolve should not be able to be roll dodged. Nothing feels as bad as working hard to light attack 5 times, build up stacks, then having a 20k bow proc miss in pvp, If it gets roll dodged, at least let me keep the stacks so I can fire it off again. I really love the siphoning strikes change to make it easier to use like grim focus, I just wish cloak got the same treatment and was a toggle because sometimes I forget to press it again before the 3 seconds runs out.

One MAJOR improvement is to add purge onto cloak. I think with your suggestion on top of this, it will really bring nightblade in line with other classes for pve combat. Pvp is a mess, but this will probably help there too.

That's how it was setup originally. NB Cloak would purge and it was FIRE. This lovely feature was taken away with One Tamriel update I think. At one time NB also had the Argonian pot heal passive as well.

Now in order to get similar affect you need to use the Wyrd Tree Set, which sucks because its a 5 pc set. Or try using Efficient Purge before cloaking but man that gets expensive.

On this note of making NB a better class, please give Shadow Image the ability to restore 10k magicka and stamina when used. It's already hard enough to calculate the precise location to place my Shade, but think about how hard it is to do so while outnumbered. I often have to use Undo to help with sustain. This change will allow NB to be more inline with other classes sustain-wise AND help the class with bar space issues.
