As long as I have played ESO, I don't know anyone that can make good use of this skill. It probably needs reworked.

    That's why my brother averages 45k with it

    Impale is the problem and the fact that it ony starts execute at 25% health. It should start scaling with >50%, because Killer's Blade is fine like that.
    If anyone here says: OH! But, PVP! I swear I'll ...

    Thank you for the valuable input and respectfully recommend to discuss that aspect of ESO on the PVP forum.

    Killers blade is up to 400% on targets below 50%. At 25% it's only 200%. It's only when they get below 12.5% that it may become better than Impale.
    Impale is 300% at 25% and below.

    I'm going to quote Inigo Montoya on this one. 8-) "You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means."

    I'm not referring to Assassin's Blade, Impale, or Killer's Blade. Hidden Blade is a Duel Wield skill.

    Yeah, my brother is a dual wield stam NB, hidden blade is ranged (knife throw essentially). He crits a ton and the damage boosts it to around 45k.
    I want to say he uses spriggans, but I'm not sure about that toon. I know his DK uses spriggans.

    I don't think it's the bouncing morph though.

    Whats he attacking though? An overland NPC, or an experienced 28-32k armored PvPer with 3k crit resistance? That's gonna make a big difference. It'll do nothing to the PvP player. In pvp the skill is useless. In pve trials/vet dungeon content, I think the skill is also useless.

    In PVP Everything I've ever tried is useless. The only success any of my family have has was my brother on a Concealed Weapon Gank build, ganking. Glass Cannon. My only success was a Thews of the Harbinger Block Tank build, rocking shield and ice staff, spell wall on shield bar. I wish we didn't have to double bar Flare and Radiant Magelight (Major Protection {Flare}, Immunity to the stun from sneak attacks {Radiant Magelight}).

    He did that against a dungeon boss. Flank strike. I don't remember which one, could even have been veteran.

    It's a ranged interrupt you can slot on a dw build, although the range is less than crushing shock. That's the main reason I've slotted it on occasion.
