Hello there,

I plan to create a Redguard NB and powelevel 1-50 doing the main quests,delves,exploring and killing packs of mobs. Then craglorn,etc.

Problem is that I think NB aoe skills were nerfed. anyway I found this topic http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/95417/nightblade-aoe-dps-pve-let-s-do-this-dw-killer-aoe-build/p1

Is this still working? Could you let me know more or less the best skills for what Im wanting to do?

Thanks.

    It's working even better, because you basically need just sap essence + siphoning attacks, though I sometimes open with quick siphon to get more healing.
    Volcanic rune is also fine, to the point one could spam just it and perhaps heavy resto attacks in between.
    However, I have no idea how to unlock skills on level 1.

    Thanks four you answer.

    Anyway my nb will be dw and bow,dont want to use staff.

    So I guess that with frenzy strikes,whirlwind,magnus shot and poison arrow I will have enough. Then of course combined with class skills as you say.

    I have redguard NB DD, and used both DW and 2H. And I prefer to use 2H for AoE. The main problem of DW is that steel tornado is not melee skill and carve is. So with 2h you can use redguard adrenaline rush (and it's really great). So you can use 2H carve for a long time without using leaching attacks dmg debuff but with rally weapon buff and HoT and AoE DoT.
    So 2H makes much more DPS (and recharges ulti very fast) but DW has a great AoE square.

    Would be better to choose a Dunmer? I will want to become a vampire too. Will a build mixing stamina and magicka skills be good for craglorn too?

    You can Sap Essense + Siphoning Attacks + Steel Tornado.

    Doesn't work as good a use Impulse IMO because you can't block cast, but should still get you through 1-50 no problem.

    Ya, Dark Elf get Fire resist and some magicka buff that are nice later on. Especially if you wanna run vampire.

    I rolled Khajit, wish I had gone Dark Elf from the start.

    Anyway. What if I use a destro fire staff because of the fire damage increase a Dunmer have?
    I could be a mix between dual wield in one bar and staff in another. Somekind of assasin-mage-vampire. And as I have never started mages guild quests,I would be able to do it and be useful for me.

    Sounds good?

    Well. I have started a Dunmer,destro staff and will combine with dw. It levels pretty fast. This char will be an assasin/vampire/thief/mage. Thanks to everybody for the tips.

    In craglorn you will be forced to use a shield (solo build) and sap essence. Stamina builds are not viable. I have tried everything and the healing/ultimate generation from stamina builds will not let you ride around fighting things in craglorn. Now. Craglorn is also group orientated so if you are ok with being in a group then go stamina and whatever weapon you choose. Hope that helps. This is definitive statement I have tested every combination of stamina items and skills and solo crag is just not viable. Have fun.

    Just a quick remark: All you need to solo anything in craglorn overworld as a stamina NB is Brawler. On both live and on PTS, i can go though mob packs, multiple wasp nests at once, overworld bosses, nirncrux mines...
