Dev's please look at Nightshade class

I have a 49 NS.Still grinding to 50. I made one to access whether I wanted to have one when the server is out of beta. i have a Luri specced 49 envenom and 49 CS and 37+ 12 stealth. What i'm seeing is low damage output and HIGH LEVELS of damage taken(vs npc's). All armor is yellow with orange weapons. i don't know if the evade is not working properly ? ( Yes I even have dodger 1 to help the evade,along with qui/dex potions). Is the class the way it is supposed to be ?
In it's current state I would never take the time and effort to make one in non beta.

Regarding your DMG output, I guess you are using pierce weapons ?
How much points into pierce, this matters a lot for your dmg output, afaik.
Weapon Speed also matters a lot, slower weapon => higher dmg per hit
You got enough stats ? Especially str/dex/con/qui/hitpoints ? ( just hover over the values shown in char menue and it tells you if you are overcap or not ) ?

Regarding your DMG income...
Which con are the mobs you are grinding ?
Talking from a Firbolg BM perspective I never had any issues to evade at least each 3th or 4th hit from oj mobs, can't imagine there are any "evade" issues for NS.

And don't forget your kind of a glass cannonen, not supposed to tank big hits, if you want to take big hits, maybe go for a big Firbolg Hero with scale armor, shield and moose transformation.

Yes, using pierce weapons. I will increase my pierce weapon skill and see how that works. Currently very low. Thanks for the suggestion! Creature is a BADH (they attack with staff) my crush resist is 23%. Taking 179 damage per hit. Yellow color

Dude, this is not a livelike server. The patchlevel is 1.65. You don't have enough points to go that high in env and cs and you Do not need to. You should reconsider something live
37stealth
37env
39pierce
39 or 44 cs
Rest CD

Thats for rr3 and you have stealth and env on composite 50.

The mob dmg is "okish" as staff is 2h and hib leather is weak to crush (iirc). If you run unbuffed it is like that

My envenom is a composite 49. MY cs is a composite 49. Neither of these stats reduce incoming damage .I expected GREATER ENERVATING POISON(-118 strength/con) to reduce my incoming damage and assist my damage dealing. I'm questioning its effectiveness. I have increased my pierce and that does help damage dealing some.

Well, then i'm sorry about that

I think the str debuff is still not working properly on mobs. And besides staff is dex based. Con debuff reduces the mobs absorb so you should Do more dmg. But i'm not sure if debuffs are working properly on mobs.

But assassins without good buffs were never the best against mobs. Unfortunately. Maybe get all buffs from pots which you can get and try again.

I have been using a dex and strength potion and a damage shield potion. NS are a mele class no getting around it. They have to kill quickly,Deal good damage and not take it. Hopefully someone can look at evade and see if its working properly. I already have DODGER 1 to start my mele chain attacks and reduce damage.

I have a 50 NS specced 38 env 38 stealth (dinged 50 on it just 12 hours ago) because it is not needed to have any higher. Get more weapon skill, cap STR and DEX and you'll be fine.
