Its possible! Stamina builds on Nightblades are more viable then ever before! Top DPS wherever you go.

This is more for the PvE Section of the game, for PvP other morphs might be more useful.

    Stamina builds have been strong, people just don't know how to use them effectively. Nice character and video. =)

    Yes, you can do that.. But it's disappointing that you can use class skills as efficient as magicka builds. This still needs to be redesigned.

    Nice video and build! With the stamina passives you would get as a Redguard, why not Redguard instead of Khajit? I'm thinking of making my next character a Nightblade and was just curious. Thanks!

    Which is sad. Stam NBs are pretty OP atm.

    Kinda true. At least you can use DPS support skills you have just fine. ;)

    I created my NB on the 30.3. together with my DK. I created my DK as Dunmer because it always has been my favorite Race in TES games. And back in the days i thought the bonus crit is damn good. Its fine.

    We didnt know better when the game first came out :D

    Stamina NB's aren't OP.

    Good players are OP, that's always been the case.
    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

    Problem in PvP are perm block players..
    If I play against Stamina users (I'm NB) I could just hold block and they can't do anything against that, not even rly drain my Stamina. (Well that's kinda boring)
    Stamina NBs could use fear so they don't care about block, which is nice.

    I see more and more players using Stamina builds in PvP, mostly Templar and NB with a 2h weapon.

    Dual Wield with Axes drains a blocker pretty damn fast. The bleed passive results in an additional block!

    Yap, it's a physical dot, same for the other morph of Ambush.
    Even the Dot don't drain fast enough, I just remove the dot every time as a NB, didn't got problems atm.
    Anyway that's a nice idea, but do it apply on block? (you can block cripple dot as example)
    Didn't test that :P

    I've seen 2 ways of heavy attack + rapid strikes cancelling and I've been wondering which one is more efficient?

    HA cancelled by RS
    or
    RS cancelled by HA

    First one is pretty easy to execute, 2nd one you need time more perfectly.

    @syntse Second one is more efficient because it skips the more slow heavy attack animation, but its harder to use. I have tried (even though I despise the concept) to do it that way, but the problem I keep having is I DO get a heavy attack documented, but I don't get a fully charged one and thus miss out on the stamina regen. Could be just me of course, but I have since returned to option 1.

    I use the second option. Stamina isnt really a Problem. It squeezes out a bit more dps combined with incapacitate.

    @xmovingtarget Yea you are probably right as far as DW goes. But does that also go up for 2H? Because that gives a passive with 10% more damage on next attack after a FULLY charged heavy attack..

    no. if you fully charge you lose more than you gain. i tend to just use light attack weave on 2h.

    So @xMovingTarget‌, if you were to redo your nightblade would you still choose Khajit and if not what race would you choose? I'm trying to decide what race to choose for my nightblade. Thanks!

    Khajiit is fine. Redguard for stamina or Imperial also good choices. for only magicka i would go breton.
