Maintaining High Stamina as a Nightblade for PvP

Every time I face off against some one in PvP, it seems like I just fly off their chest in any assualt...the only way I can do anything is when there is a large group in front of me taking the brunt. Even when going up against lower level Players..And I mean lower level, I'm a v10 going up against level 15-30 players some of them night blades like my self and still dying as I'm just touching them.......It seems like I'm the only person who can't keep up the initial assault long enough to kill them in the few seconds of the surprise attack. anything after that is death for me.

All of my stamina vanishes in the few moments of combat that I have none for my defense. And most people that I ask in game give me extremely vague answers when I ask them how to keep a nightblade's stamina high...Like it's some big secret reserved for those stuck ups at the top of the leader boards in PvP.

My big question is What armors and accessories are good for a nightblade in PvP for maintaining High Stamina....As without it...I might as well walk into an enemy keep with nothing equipped.

    You need high stamina regen if you want to keep fighting for a longer time. Use medium armor, the set 'of the air' gives 2x stam regen bonus, another from shadowwalker set, racial 10%(redguard) or 30%(bosmer), plus green champion points in stam regen will give you ~2200 passive stamina regen(as redguard). You can then boost it with Grim focus and stamina regen potion and you shouldn't have any issues with stamina. Also, using a heavy attack now and then helps (heavy attacks give back stamina)

    Hi mate,
    I have 2270 Stamina Regen in Combat, like 1900 out of Combat. I use the Blood Spawn Set for the Stamina Regen bonus, ~35 Points in Mooncalf as well as a epic regen drink instead of max stats food. Rest of my Gear: 5x Hunding's Rage with Nirnhorned trait, 3x Shadow Walker Jewelry with Stamina Cost Reduction and the Master's 2h / Master's bow.

    Another popular way to go is using the Skirmisher Set. A popular streamer named Sypher (you can find him on YT) did a guide on his build with the Skirmisher Set btw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgQ7GDYDxc8

    I can roll dodge, block and DPS a ton before running dry with this setup.

    More questions? just ask :)

    Jeckll has quit the game. Thanks for the great time.

    Your issue doesn't sound like just a gear issue but a mechanics issue as well.
    Regarding gear, your base should be Shadow Walker jewelry (unless Ravager) followed by crafted sets or high end stuff like Morag Tong /Ravager etc. A good base to start with is 5pc Hundings, 3pc Ashen Grip, Shadow walker jewelry. Or you can swap that out with Way of the Air. If Stamina is an issue I certainly would recommend it and it's quite cheap and easy to obtain.

    Skirmisher is ok, but extremely overrated and only worth it if you are a dodge roll a lot. Whoever tells you to wear this clearly ignored your original post. Anyone who has a problem keeping stam is not going to do well with a roll spam build which is necessary to reap the benefits of the 5pc. More importantly it pigeonholes you to using a bow in your other bar for the Hasty Retreat passive. They kind of go hand in hand.

    None of us have any idea how you play, what skills you use, how many champ points you have or where they are allocated. Mooncalf is a nice place to start.

    Regarding the shared youtube video, it's a good place to start. While I don't care for his build or playstyle, he demonstrates a knowledge of resource management, map awareness, and overall know-how. This is an excellent place to start and build from the ground up. Just remember, there are several ways to play a nightblade and be extremely effective. Several of us play extremely different but we are all very effective. Forgive me it's after 2am and I have no idea wtf I am doing on the pc....
