    Chucklehead= dirty NB cheaters exploiting the obviously overpowered NB volcanic rune and bow.

    I'm confused... A moderator has been through this thread, but neglected to lock/delete it as either 'misinformation', 'spamming' (nonsensical content) or 'trolling'.

    So far this ticks all three...

    I find it hilarious that mods came in here, removed two posts for spam and left the rest untouched. :D
    At that point it was some hope in saving the tread.
    At this point : anybody want fishysticks?

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    This overpowered Nightblade ability has got to be toned down. The abuse of such a powerful tool should not and cannot be tolerated any longer. Nightblades need to be taken down a notch.

    Nightblades are too weak from its self already. You want to hammer them down even more :/

    Of course, but we will give them extra fortified fishy sticks to make up for it.

    I disagree. Volcanic Rune is not nearly powerful enough for it's incredibly long cast time and innefficient use of mana.

    It obviously penalizes stamina builds, and isn't even worth putting on your bar because there are better abilities, like snipe.

    It's instant cast, if you're fumbling with placement that's another issue entirely.

    Also, if you are a stamina build you've already penalized yourself.

    If you are a stam build then you are running the most optimal build for a volcanic rune god mode build. Just think, all of that magicka for volcanic rune.....

    What else can be said...we need some dev response on the balancing issue this extremely powerful ability is causing.

    Casting an avoidable aoe twice before going oom == godmode?

    Great argument.

    It is pointless to counter argue how powerful Volcanic Rune is. I am not sure why so many are coming here and stating this is a troll thread when in fact, this ability needs a serious discussion on how unbalancing it is.

    This post is still open. People took it serious. Others even took less serious replies serious, spawning serious hatemail.

    I know why they are so serious, Joker. It's more funny afterwards!
    Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
    Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
    Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.

    XBOX NA
    Ruze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.

    He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.

    This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.

    Why wouldn't it be taken serious? This is a very serious discussion about how game breaking volcanic rune is when used with bow and its abilities specifically by nightblades.

    If someone wanted to talk about how volcanic rune has become something of a 'must have' for some people, and therefore might be considered overly powerful?

    Fair enough.

    But hiding that discussion in a plethora of misinformation and baiting regarding 'nightblade abilities like using a bow' (sigh) is just masquerading nonsensical trolling by blending it with a vaguely sensible point about a certain ability.

    What's the old adage?
    A lie, based upon a truth, is still a lie.

    However, the way the mods keep dipping into this thread I guess they must see things differently... Or maybe Mablung's got something on them that's forcing them to not act against him?

    Psst, forum mods, blink three times if this is the case...

    Wow. You not only took a joke thread way to seriously you also started spewing conspiracy theories. The internet and crazy people go together like the internet and crazy people.

    I am not sure what you mean. Volcanic rune is a staple for Nightblades. It is extremely powerful in the dmg and cc it provides to this class when using the bow and its abilities.

    Who made you forum police officer btw? Hmmmmmm?

    yes... i'm the one taking a joke seriously...

    Cos i obviously believe Mablung has all the forum moderators tied up in his basement. And that is was ordered by the NSA and/or a certainly '33-'45 German leader whos name is apparently censored here. (Escalating to fulfil Godwin's law early.) And I'm fairly certain there's aliens involved somewhere... right?

    If it's a 'joke thread' (trans. troll thread) then i'm just bemused how it keeps surviving mod attention...

    You said ALIENS . You have me convinced with that.
    What shall we do?


    I think the mods are just taking it easy and closing mostly really bad spam and all out flamewars. I think it is good. The forums that had some of the highest insanity rating also had also the most zealous mods.

    Ok. Yes it is indispensable for me as a NB tank with S&B.

    Situation 1 . Solo against big pack of mobs.
    1.Locate healers or mages.
    2.Open volcanic rune
    3.Go in Spam Sap essence
    4.VR again
    5.Sap essence (optional)
    6.Veil of blades
    7.If some mobs are out of the circle of death I VR so that I throw them in. Sometimes works.
    8.Sap Sap Sap.

    The End


    Situation 2 . In groups.
    The same only that I also place it a lot in front of my healer templar team mate.

    I'm using it same Way with stamina dual wield Aoe build and its a Great opener. Placed in Front of healer or tank: Volcanic rune, Power extraction, Steel Tornado SPAM until Flawless Dawnbreaker charged. Volcanic rune and Power extraction Get 10% Crit, Steel Tornado and Dawnbreaker are around 50%.
    Does decent dps around (1 to 1.5k in groups from 3 to 6 Mobs in VR3) espacially when combined with stam/Crit/dmg potions and Grouped with a Templar healer.
    Jea so I'm Really enjoying my nightblade! Hope this isn't enough for getting nerfed :disagree:

    VR is useless on its own but has great synergy with almost everything.
    This does not constitute OPness though.
