    stop crying
    Don't you see that the only one "crying" is you?

    The OP made a statement, and from this followed a discussion.
    Then come some heros, bringing in insults.
    Insulting is "crying". Helpless crying because you do not have arguments.

    We have all accepted HUGE nerfs to our classes. Seems like NBs are allergic to them... Why is it so hard to accept that they have to get nerfed?

    Cuz we came from being the worst class to ... the most balanced class atm (we got the right skills and passives needed to gank/assassinate)

    man this is one heck of a long thread.

    you all DO realize that Nightblades are going to get demolished (Nerf-wise)when Arenas come out, right?

    If it happens i'm taking sorc with me. I may just fire up a half dozen nerf radiant destruction threads on my alt accounts to spite you.

    my only VR-level character is a Nightblade.

    fact is, Arena is going to lay bare every real, true, class balance issue this game has. it won't be a matter of arguing back and forth on the forums, and OPness will not be defensible in the first like 6 months of Arena.

    every class is going to get demolished, NB and Sorc most of all.

    prepare for massive nerfs.

    Only because crybabies who won't learn counters. If you play a vet NB then you know it's not some god roaming around deciding who lives and who dies. The class is squishy and in stamina form, lacks self heals. On my templar though, the class OP plays and feels is so weak. I can be like a god. Stand there self haling jabs, self heals with BOL, then radiant destruction after initial burst and GG. No skill required whatsoever i can just stand there and tank dmg.

    Vigor Cloak dodge roll = infinigod....am i wrong?

    put up a video of you being god with that. It's not as easy as some make it look. You guys are encountering good players nerf them into hell and they will still come back and wreck you.

    we keep talking about NB counters, but how do you counter 25k damage in less than a second? yes I play a NB, but I've been hit with it before so I know how it feels. you CAN'T counter it, by the time you break out of the Ambush stun, you are already Executed.

    honestly though, and nobody wants to admit this, cause they don't want to lose their "skill", the problem is animation canceling, not necessarily the NB class, imo.

    Its true, the game wasn't designed with that in mind so people being able to use all the skills they need in that short of a window create these situations. Unless there are significant nerfs to burst damage (which will impact those that don't animation cancel most) then we will have to keep living with excessive burst damage.

    Any class can do that. Have you not played ESO? Radiant destruction, magika detonation, dragon leap, wrecking blow. Stop making me tell you all that like you don't know and stop crying. 20k surprise attack+teleport strike is not typical and don't act like it is. Stop crying and being such babies about and go out and do it back to them you have the ability.

    If this was the case, I would be killing everyone... and that isnt the case.... I am a NB, been since -4 days launch. I have ~3700 weapon damage when buffed, 35,000 stamina and 461 CP. I have yet to 2-shot dead anyone since IC was released. In fact after these two abilities, and I Haven't killed the target... I usually am hit back just as hard and since i am a glass cannon, I have to hide a few times to regain my health and then it is an even fight...

    and naturally, you didn't read my entire post before foaming at the mouth about Nightblades.

    the problem is animation canceling. as I said.

    I can easy escape without cloak most of the times, Cloak would just GOD you because it would make it even more easy! I get that NB are supposed to be glass cannons and i even accept their current build IF they only nerf Cleak and add a 4 second cooldown thats all.

    Is this thread still a thing?

    Sadly, yes. If not toward Nightblades then toward something else... The complaints and arguments never cease!

    Im starting to think the best way to deal with these threads is not to get into a heated debate but to ignore them. How many pages can 3-4 people fill if everyone else just ignores the topic?

    You do know there's a differance between stamblade and magik right? I absolutely can't spam cloak in fact i need to use it sparingly to remove dots and buff my armor so that i have magika to apply relentless focus to keep my stam up. Even on my magika NB i can spam it but so what? You can slot an AOE or raident mage light or craft detect pots? I do two of the three and I'm a NB

    And here is the problem, why should I slot something just to defend against you? If i slot 2 skills just to def vs stam NB then what? I can't have any proper build, what about DK? I should start countering DK aswell and sorc and other templars and i have 0 slots left for any build with some DPS and chance to kill. You should be able to use your build properly as in not die in 1 second(i don't always execpt to some of those animation cancel 5 skills in 1 second guys) and also have a shot at fighting back. I have 2k stam regen and vs some NB i must use all my 30k pool and potion up just to get rid of his cloak

    Make a poll about which class people kill most, and the result will look about the same. (Probably even more votes for nbs).

    That poll would just show that there are way too many nightblades running around.
