Nightblade Discussion

[Kendakon]

Nightblade is one of the stronger rogue melee souls as far as damage, and the ranged abilities are nice. We don't have the stuns or interrupts of other rogue souls, and none of the melee rogue souls even sniff warrior damage, which is kind of sad since they have more health and more armor, as well as better CC abilities.

everyone keeps saying this about warriors but i just don't see it. My warrior feels slow and clunky in combat and certainly isn't dropping mobs in less than 7 seconds like my assassin/NB does.

In this video, the champion is dropping mobs in 3-4 seconds. I played a warrior up to about level 25 in beta, and it did feel clunky in the earlier levels, but was just starting to come on stronger, and by mid 30s they just destroy stuff.

not bad. I guess they just take longer to develop. I got so sick of my warrior by 20 i just couldn't play him anymore.

Well I have been enjoying playing my Nightblade so far, both PvP and PvE. Here is a couple of PvP specs I have been working towards, not sure which I'll end up. Some feeback would be great.

http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0M...otRoo.Ecx.g0dV Just not sure about the synergy with Bladedancer and Nightblade in this build. Im thinking opening up with range to build combos then SoD, plane shift in for Bladedancer abilities with NB weapon enchants. Also this build would be murder for casters I believe.

wow wtf :/

Yeah in the 30-39 bracket champions with 2H crit me for 2k+

Not to derail, just curious:

So warriors basically have a combo type of generator, but they only need 3 to do full damage? All their moves generate 1? Am I missing something here?

Yeah they use attack power or something like that...it puts up sword icon, and yes they only need three for full power on finishers

and they are not limited to the target they can enter combat with 3 pre-charged.

its pretty... stupid how did you beta guys not notice this total lack of balance?

They nerfed Warriors a bunch of times. The weapon damage normalization, and the change that had white damage only affected by attack power made a massive change. They also made a bunch of changes to their trees, because they were broken.
