My first character was a night blade and I used the skills mentioned. I have since deleted the character because something just felt off about the class for me. I was having a hard time beating mobs I could take down on any of my other classes. Seeing as I was using these skills that could explain a lot. Thanks for the heads up. Will have to see if they get some love and reroll one in the future.
Yeah, could you imagine running around with Reaper's Mark and your opponent isn't affected by the debuff for -75% armour but you are? My night blade had 1017 armor and if I were to use that skill it'd drop my armor to ~250.
That definitly would s#ck.
I understand your grief, you are far more likely to experiance these issue's at the VR rank you are compared to my highest level 12 Toon, which is one of the four toons I play.
But are you experianced with this genre? You do know all these gamecompany's put out patches, perhaps not always the right one on the right time when YOU need it. But face it even succesfull games years old continue to have bug fixes. And even more important this game is in 2 day's only a month old, so yeah if you are experianced within this genre I don't really understand that you give up like a newby.
You are just annoyed for not continuing the game you in fact do seem to like but the issue's is preventing you from enjoying the game as you please. Though seeing thereply's it seems you stopped playing and even got a refund? Not really sure how that works playing a game that far and getting a refund but more power to you.
But if you have taken a toon till VR rank I think you might be back when the issue's you experiance might be fixed?
Oh on topic. 1/4 is a Nightblade as said I might be to low level to either experiance those issue's or they get unnoticed and/or take counter measure's to succeed in combat. Might also be that I didn't select teleport strike to notice the first issue. Saw to many Nightblade's using it and decided to take my skill point into something else.
I know I am a strange type of gamer, I actually like imbalance, addept on the spot, makes allot more challenge. Unfortunaly for me the majority is very different.

Does your character feel some what underpowered or not seeing the statistical increases from skills?
Well, many of the skills within the class are bugged.
1: Teleport Strike: Often when using this ability character will preform the animation, but will not teleport to the target. This may seem minor, but this will effectively drop you out of stealth and break invisibility. Same can be said of the Ambush morph and apparently the snare on the Lotus Fan morph is not working.
If target dies or breaks line of sight, the teleport fizzles. Yes it does break stealth. My biggest issue with the skill is firing twice..
2: Mark Target: NO damage increase on it or any of it's morphs. All other functions seem to work fine for it and both morphs.
I was unaware of this one. I don't use bows (easy mode ). I wonder if the targets it's dmg increase like it should.
3: Haste: This skill is not increasing light or heavy attack speed when used with a bow.
6: Shadowy Disguise: Only applies bonus to weapon critical. Tooltip doesn't specify that it's weapon only.
True, I just tested that one. It makes since, but the tool tip would leave you to believe that it works on everything.
7: Veiled Strike: Occasionally suffer from the same issue as Teleport stike.
It doesn't stun sometimes. It always does dmg for me, but I have noticed when my target isn't stunned. I haven't figured out under what conditions it does not stun. I have a feeling this one makes sense too, but the tool tip just says stuns w/o other limiting conditions
Just giving you all more heads up of what I and every other Night Blade have experienced within the game.
NB here. There are a ton of bugged skills. At the same time, some skills that seem broken work fine but not as the tool tip states. Like prolonged suffering., It will not fire on mounted targets. The animation starts, timer goes, spell fizzles.
You will not get any beef from me here. The amount of abilities that are not working properly is pretty astounding. Atleast they are there though, and we know (hope?) that they work sometimes or will work soon. I would rather have the skills there and bugged, than not being there at all. The freedom to build is there and impressive. It's just when you build it might not work atm...

Oh, you're a vampire as well? That's sad to hear, they're getting hit pretty hard.
This is me too After 3-4 days of "I cant play like this!" I have now managed to trick myself into believing that I am becoming better, playing with all passive debuffs and no buffs. I tell myself "BC if you think you are good now, just wait a or two!" /sigh That works for most my play time
Dragging in personal attacks from another thread is not the topic of this one, so please stick to the topic of Nightblades and related game class/skill issues.

Oh I'm sorry, I think you're misinformed about the definition of trolling.
Here's what a troll does:
In Internet slang, a troll (/to??rl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2]extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4]
Nothing I've stated is any form of trolling; but nice try.
If that was true then most of the people posting the ESO forums would have been banned and they wouldn't be nearly as entertaining.
Already got my warning for the day...I guess mine was extraneous.....ah so it this post.....my mmorpg.com account is not long for this world...
I play the NB and now in my early V1's. I've done a ton of AvA from 10-49 which is why I am just now getting started as a V1. I understand the class has some broken skills, but it kills fast in PvE and PvP. I small group roam with dedicated PvPr friends so maybe that is why the broken abilities hasn't ever F'd me.
I love the NB in AvA. I love the class. Duel wield is kind of below average in AvA so I'm mostly bow, assault, class skills and bow with a mix of class, FG, and duel in PvE.
I think it is a very fun class and when totally fixed it will be money.

I hope you were at least this detailed when you reported these bugs in game...
before getting your refund, and explaining in your exit survey why you felt a refund was required.
Otherwise we can't see these things get fixed. I'm not saying you're one of these people, but if something is broken, report it, document it and communicate with the project leads so we can get things like this fixed. Too many people have issues and would rather spout about how broken things are without actually bringing them forward to be investigated, regardless of how much you feel the developers know, more information never hurt anything.
..and were able to defend and demonstrate them as well as you have this thread.
I miss the TL style thing DAOC did with the classes, that was a nice community experience.
I was wondering why mark target wasn't helping me punch through targets. Oh well at least it still lets me see those who try to stealth away from me in pvp. >_< I'll be looking at the patch note carefully before craglorn comes out to see if they add this to the list. Thanks for the heads up.

Haste works fine. It cuts down the time between attacks as opposed to the attacks themselves.
The below video explains it a bit better
A lot of the complaints about broken abilities (especially passives) have to do with the character sheet not updating after you drop a skill point on a passive. You can test this in game by adding a % to stam and testing tooltip damage vs actual damage dealt before/after.
(Well I guess the OP cant if he gave his account away or whatever, but you get the picture)
If you want actual information from people who actually test things instead of posting out their ass about stuff they're unable to verify I'd suggest going to one of the actual ESO fansites and going from there
The above is my personal opinion. Anyone displaying a view contrary to my opinion is obviously WRONG and should STHU. (neener neener)
