    There are alot of threads recently asking the same thing, no need for a new one... type in "nightblade" in the search bar, or even better, google "eso nightblade build" and you will get tons of opinions on good builds... it will be much faster...

    Start with 2 hander + Bow then work your way into 2hander + sword + Board.

    Huh?

    How is 2-hander nerfed? The increased cost of rally is inconsequential, especially now that we have access to vigor.

    Sword and board has become even better after patch.Yeah block spam is nerfed but you will still be able to block the attacks you want and absorb magick got a huge buff and it is already amazing in 1.6 for a stamblade. Now that you can't dodge roll spam you're going to need something to counter all the fragment/overload/crushing shock/magicka nb garbage so why not spam a cheap ability that heals you with every attack that hits?

    You are talking about stam builds and he about magicka build ... and both not making sense because of it.

    Sorry man, I was just playing. I think that the other poster was suggesting was to have a bow setup on both bars. Probably one for single target and one built around AOE/escape maybe?

    That's really not an easy build to play. He's better off going with a 2H stam build with Morag Tong and Hunding's Rage.
