L2p. Your post is riddled with l2p issues.
For example, You really expect to be as good as someone else when your only running purple? Gold gear does provide a big boost to gameplay.
Your a stamina nb. Get gold viper, eternal hunt, valedreth, and maelstrom two hander. learn to shuffle stack, dodge roll to infinity, LOS to adnuseium, and gank from stealth. There, your now a pro. Now go l2p.
I don't want to use proc sets because it is riddled with aids and I just told you that I use shuffle. You cannot roll dodge infinitely anymore. How are you going to even tell me to keep roll dodging when they nerfed that like 6 updates ago? I LOS but people always outmaneuver me, ganking from stealth doesn't work anymore. WHY do I need to make my weapons golden when I already have high weapon damage in the first place? I use to run with lower weapon damage but after I began running into people with heavy armor I decided I needed to start running different sets. I will never use proc sets. If you use proc sets in a duel then I have no respect for you and I disregard everything you just wrote.

and here you have problem...I guess you have problem with l2p because you are running with stacked shuffle, proc sets etc and just saying other people with problem "l2p" because they are dont using noskill required proc sets etc?
and look here with this heavy armor meta...NB without viper and monster proc set...nb without those sets is just *** *** easy free ap for no-skill-required sets wearers.
and next thing...tell me...how to play while your full burst from glass cannon nb into any heavy armor scrub can be easy mitigated without any bigger problem and very fast healed when then this tankly scrub will hit those 4 times into this nb and ehh...nb just get rekt by tankly scrub with damage not much lower than glass cannon build.
why *** heavy armor wearers have only a bit lower damage than medium/light armor weares who have no any damn good survivability by taking raw damage, you need only 2-4 hits to kill this medium/light armor, with combo this is only split second (also by heavy armor...yes any with heavy armor can hit hard) while to kill heavy armor (mosly *** perm blockers) you need to hit 6-8-10+ hits to kill him..but nah...he will heal 80% of missing health in 2-3 seconds as templar/dk and again
(sorc ofc is only viable class to go with light armor or nb...sorc just becaus eof shield stack..if not this sorc will be also forced to run with *** heavy armor because he wont have much lower damage, similiar nb but he have not working in 75% of the time cloak.
and to medium armor...only nb have chance to use medium armor to going in steath etc but thanks medium armor need only those 4 hits to die by any other class in *** annyoing heavy armor)
at all nb without proc sets = free squishy ap for everyone other because without proc sets nb have no any chance to kill anything on pvp, thank you!

your talk about 1v1 which is pvp. what is your penetration? penetration is critical to quickly killing targets. also i can tell from the damage numbers you are running alchemist, prossibly kena too. also 2nd wrecking blow from stealth can even be more impressive then teleport strike by nearly 50% more damage.

Ummm ganuking is 100% viable. Are you kidding me? Especially as a nb. In fact gawking has reached a an all new high with the new sets, but you definitely don't need them. Didn't you have another thread about nb? Seems like you don't think nb can do anything. Yet here I am logging on every day destroying people. Heck, just respected my boomer stam blade to mag for fun. I'm not even a mag race and still destroy people.
I really don't think nb is your playstyle man. Especially if you think gawking does not work.
Also, try the set that reduces 4k resist. Will help you against heavy armor and is not a proc set. Really is the go to set for Stam these days.
Also, don't get viper, vel, tremor proc sets that re over doing it right now with good proc sets such as bloodspawn. Heck, just about every monster piece is a proc set. Was well before the cimplants now. In fact, use bloods pawn for your aurvivability. Heck use that skeleton 2 pc set.
Hmm no offence OP, but it is a case of l2p, I have a few stam build nbs, and have little to no problem killing people.
And this is not even using proc sets, which makes kills even more laughably easy.

Look. You can still dodge roll a lot. Get some well fitted gear. I know pro players who have no issues Los, dodge rolling, and keeping shuffle up. I've seen pro players go from little health to full health in 1 cast of momentum and vigor.
You need your weapons gold because everyone else has theres. Your losing like 200+ weapon damage. Seriously, without gold weapons your not being competitive. People are stacking resistances, heavy armor, and shields and your running around with purple?!
Unfortunately by not running proc sets your handicapping yourself. Most Everyone else is running proc sets. Your just beating your head against a wall because people are making builds to counter the damage output of proc sets. So what ever alternative build your using it will suffer even more.
Watch YouTube and twitch. Watch how people like scribes and xinthesis play. Go watch xinthesis cyrodil diaries in alliance war forums section.
Unfortunately it is a l2p. Don't believe the hype. This game is not play the way you want. There is such a thing as meta. Or if you want to buck the trend, then you need to be really skilled. I suggest you post your build so the forum experts and theory crafters can tell you how to improve rather than ventting while ordering some wine with cheese. Post your build and I'll try and help.

Well he's a total glass cannon, so if someone does survive his burst they can just turn around and spank him to death. It's...exactly what should happen, imo.

Gold weapons on DW add about 260 raw weapon damage, BEFORE the 12% from medium or 20% from brutality. That's about as much damage from a full 3-piece agility set just sitting there unclaimed. You should be able to earn 16 tempers (not buy them) in a reasonable amount of time by clicking rocks and doing surveys.
As far as who I don't attack when I'm ganking - I don't attack radiant magelight users unless they have less than 24k health. I don't attack obvious tank players (1h/shield and heavy) if they have over ~32k health. Everyone else drops, especially all these black rose heavy armor users with 22-25k health who aren't running radiant magelight. Very easy pickings.

Was gonna type a comment dripping with sarcasm about how you actually need to pick targets instead of randomly attacking everything you see... Instead you get +1 Agree.

It is not a l2p. It is a fact that my heals suck. I am missing out on 200 weapon damage? Oh so you are going to tell me that I need to have more weapon damage? Who are you to tell me that I need more weapon damage when it's already high?
You telling me to use proc sets makes no sense. We need to do the exact opposite and not use proc sets, mk? You aren't supposed to dodge roll and how are you going to tell me to keep shuffle up when I keep it up all the time? I hate this ability with a burning passion because I always see other people get lucky by watching it proc 80% of the time whilst it never seems to work for me. I am not referring to ganking in this thread. I am referring to the fact that this is the worst class to duel people in. There's too many variables that goes against a nightblade in order for a nightblade to win a fight. I don't know whose idea it was when they designed all 4 of the classes to call it "balance".

Disclaimer: I am still very new to this game, but this statement confuses me. Why is using stealth a big no no in a duel? Is your build not an assassin style build? A first strike build that benefits greatly from stealth attacks? It is pretty much a class defining skill that you have built around.

at all cloak is still very broken and still its rarely working good, in destription should write:
"Cloak yourself in shadow to get chance become invisible for 2.5 seconds."

dude that would be the same as taking the delete hammer to the nightblade class in pvp. on top of that cloak is so *** easy to counter. you just gotta learn 2 play.
