I'm not defending my own class here, because imo, they're not 'broken'. They 'were' broken. But uh, last I checked, even with apples and SE, they still do nowhere near top damage vs other classes. Put it this way:
TT+SP
1st hit
2nd hit
3rd hit
4th hit
5th hit
6th hit
The last 3 hits are 50% weaker than the original 1st 3 hits, and the damage is only boosted if these conditions are met:
a) One out of the 1st 3 hits is a critical.
b) SE is activated
c) Apple.
Otherwise, if they spam TT, and 70% of the time (as an example), and they hit mostly non-crits, they 'suck'. Luck plays a factor when it comes to Night Lords. I admit, there isn't much skill in playing a NL except for timing a simple Flash Jump and learning how to multi-jump platforms back-and-forth (or left and right in succession) without falling off.
PS: IMO, unless they get the 1st 3 hits CRIT'ed over 70% of the times during a boss battle, they're not going to surpass a lot of classes at bossing. NLs are terribly... terribly... slow at soloing Zakum, anybody who says NLs are fast at soloing Zakum can go watch some NL-soloing videos vs Zakum. The only bosses they do well on, for the majority of it, would be Papulatus (and maybe Pianus, but who the hell solos Pianus.. ffs).
