Khajiit Nightblades - Stat Point Distribution?

Tykune · April 2014

I have seen many discussions regarding stat point distribution for nightblades, such as being the old 3 hp, 1 stamina, 1 magicka. While there is also one for 20 stamina, 20 magicka, rest in hp... but I have no idea where to even go from here. I plan on doing mostly PvP, and I am very close to hitting max level. I am at the point where I must ask the community what they think is best suited for my playstyle (as I do not know). I am mainly dual wield daggers while using bow as a secondary, to both utilize my magicka and stamina effectively. In this effect, I am unsure to go 20 with magicka and stamina, and rest in HP... or pump mostly into hp and some with magicka and stamina, while putting magicka and stamina on my gear. There is just so many choices, but I need some help directing me down the right choice.

I am mainly assassination tree, with some shadow.

I'm also looking for advice on this. I'm finding myself using my class skills much more than weapon or guild skills with the exception of sliver bolts. I am thinking of going full magicka just to see how the damage difference is.

2 magicka, 2 hp, 1 stamina, thusfar and working perfectly.
I'm mostly using my class skills.

The basic rule is:
If you use class or any Staff tree, use light armor/magica.
If you go for other weapons, use medium armor/stamina

PvP is all about burst damage and stun locking. The first two skills of the NB Shadow line are simply ideal for that. Add in bow and/or dual wield to finish of foes that are low hp/trying to run and I can see how the nightblade can be fearsome attacker.
I only palyed one in PvE, but that is pretty much the config I use there. It just seemed the obvious, logical choice.

The thing is that the more you focus on magica and stamina, the less durability you have. Putting a NB into light robes is propably a viable choice damage output wise, but it will make him that much easier to kill in return. In a competitive area like PvP, too much specialisation can backfire. Because you only have 1-2 win or "usefull for team" cases, and a bunch of "useless" scenarios. In the one PvP game I play I try to be usefull for the team first, getting kills second (and only because less foes are usefull for the team).
Specialisations, yes. Overspecialisation, better not.

Thats a bit more than I really asked for, but it does give me some perspective into some PvP aspects.. but I am still stuck on what stat point distribution would be best for me lol
