i think you overdo the 'going away' bit sometimes
The best nightshades are easily the hardest stealther fights I ever have, and i can RA/ML/Arti dump on them and still loose. Thankfully most are are a little more squishy so I can hold my own. A well kitted out one seems like a nice class to play

I like fighting VF, he's like a frog on speed, or a mini-kangaroo bouncing all over the place :> And his strafing is so he gets off his positionals.
How many sb's use pincer after a Frosty Gaze or CD? I seem to only have time to run through and do a SS and IB. Is there time to do a pincer then SS then IB?

well for me
Necro. nice balanced class. Enjoyable to fight. Such thought went into this class, even the lovely unique pet model.
Cabby. Again its awsome the way the pet can just insta stun your ass, to faciliate this great tactic they employ of running and letting you test your defense versus a giagantic pet meleeing your for 400 damage. If the pet fails to stun you in your running race with the cabby. then the cabby has the risky task of a QC Disese and continue the race or a moc and lifetap.
Sorc. No need to go into this one really. The balance of 2 forms of CC, SOI, ml9, MOC and lifetap is already known. These are a weak walkover class played by people who really want a challenge.
Theurg. rr5 = u loose
SM. Perfectly balanced if afk for 1 minute at start of fight.
WL. These are perfectly balanced as long as you dont attack them
BD. A unique design concept where all players of this class exclusivly try and daze there opponents while spinning around them... when perfected this dance seems to regenerate their health at a faster rate than you can take it off. There has been rumours some of them do have other non insta spells that have been casted in the history of daoc, but we have yet to get a confirmed sighting of this.
for me anyway casters are just bollacks. (same with hib ones) traditionally they were always vulnerable if you get in their faces but they got like some insanely (boring) get out of jail free cards, along with a cast speeds that literally mean u get dropped in 4-5 seconds of being bombed on.

WL, and trios of hunters/sbs
can PA a WL, full chain, see hes hp at 10% then think, yey i beat a WL.
then stun wears off, and my screen laggs from 3 instant effects of chambers in my head, WL on 100% im on 5% hp's and think, oh shit inc non-interruptable pbae spell, and die
trios of hunter's and sb's is just ....

go 44 LA 50 axe. open with raider, then use havoc > tyrs fury backed up with comeback > frosty. if stun lands, use the side asd (forgot name) and do a backchain. its so incredibly tempting to roll a sb but i guess they'll become very fotm next patch which makes it a lot less appealing. QQ.

on paper it looks amazing, and after trying it on a freeshard it worked proper nice aswell. you just don't like the lack of CS or whats wrong with it?

Have to say, some NS's can be a right fuck off ***** to fight, some can be easy. - It can swing both ways though.
Look at the fights you and me have Illu, sometimes, it's a draw, some I win, some you win. It's the same vs NS's, REMEDY WHINE overpowered ability, as a melee scout, the only debuff I have is with Malice, but remedy cancels that out, 90% of the time, I'll only win if I have everything & I mean everything: malice/battler/wh or som/fz/ip/purge up.

Why would you waste all those points going to 50 axe, just for front pos, that will have an average growthrate of .825, a front pos chain that isnt going to land as much as an anytimer will, and costs a ton more points.
My sb, was 50LA, 36weap, 36env, 36stealth (or roughly around that, 50+ mod everything (0CS), and 50+11 LA).
Going to 50 axe, means you gotta drop something. While keeping it at 35, raising LA too 50, gives you extra base damage, and you can still use Pillager at the start of a fight, and instead of doing a glaciel movement after a stun, maybe you could land Polar Light (and follow up with Fjalin if your axe specced, annoying bug
)
