Is it me since I play pure NB bow that I just can't seem to beat any tier 1 casters. I had same problem with Ebonheart Pact in not soloing casters in the final 2 zones and in Daggerfall I couldn't beat Durisa or whatever her name is for the warhorn on Betnikh. I can't beat Vardan and I couldn't beat King Demog. These npcs seem to do way too much damage with a basic attack. I refuse to respec to beat these npcs. The HP potions I have only heal me for just over 1k in 14 secs with 16 secs remaining trying to stay alive to use one again. Funnel Health and Degeneration just aren't cutting it. I saw I'm guessing a Templar use that holy stabbing move on Durisa and had her in a infinite stun lock. Why can't I have something like that? Magnum Shot eats up too much stamina and doesn't so enough damage. All points into stamina and I still feel so damn weak. If I block magic, it eats stamina that I could use to try to use some skills. If Shadowy Disguise truly did 100% crit chance then I wouldn't be losing grand soul gems left and right.

Sad enough someone came in while I was typing that above and killed him, oh well least I get the relic...

What's your build? I've had a pretty easy time overall with questing/bosses with some few exceptions. If you use ESOhead there's a calculator for you skills. If you send me a link I could tell you what you could change?

From what i'm hearing, you're letting them attack you and you're saying that Magnum Shot uses way too much stamina. Are you specced purely Magicka? I'm 10/19/20 and I rarely ever have any Stamina problems to the point that I have over 100 potions for Stamina...
I use Venom Arrow, Shadowy Disguise, Concealed Weapon, Piercing Mark and Magnum Shot as my general abilities. Might wanna try that!

Since i'm a pure bow user like you, it looks like we have the same interests! First of all, as a Nightblade our class skills are super important. Putting 49 into stamina gives us a lot of Stamina, sure. However it hinders our survivability because it doesn't allow us to cast Shadowy Disguise as much and reset fights, positioning etc. Also as well as this, you sacrifice 200HP from the build I use in order to have 200 more stamina.. which I would say isn't the best trade for two incredibly important stats.

Crippling Grasp is a good way to kite mobs - however Magnum Shot closes distance and has the chance of stunning the mob - giving you time to shoot at them and create distance (even after the 12 ft hop). I feel that ability purely comes down to how you want to play your kiting ability. I prefer to stay more mobile in exchange - also considering how you're 49 stamina, you probably can cast this even less as you sacrifice 100 Magicka too.

Venom Arrow and Funnel Health are both super good - however Funnel Health seems out of place since you're using a stamina build... Which seems kind of strange. On your main bar slot if you're going purely stamina I would suspect to see like 1 magicka ability and that's it. Having 3+ is gonna make your attributes towards stamina a lot less useful.

I personally dislike AOE because I feel like it's a random chance of hitting the target. I like that you have Silver Bolts on the second equipslot - useful and a good call back on. However I would probably move some of your stamina abilities to the first bar so you can use them more often and synergise better with your build


I'm no expert, but I can see a few problems which could make it a lot easier for you. I would change your attributes and your bars around - see how that goes.
