nightblade questions

i wanna do a nightblade melee dps...should i go stamina or magicka? ill only be using 1 or 2 DW moves...the rest will be nightblade abilities...any suggestions, and why?

Leandor

I would not use abilities crosswise - if playing a magicka based melee nightblade, I would not use weapon skills for things other than self-buffs (e.g. bladecloak for AoE mitigation), but never as DPS abilities.

My suggestion would be to either go stamina if you intend to use damage abilities from the weapon skill lines or go magicka (possibly better choice in view of future changes announced) and use weapons only as "spell power boost" and rely completely on class abilities morphed for magicka.

Depends on the situation.

Stamina has more burst potential, magicka has more sustain. Both are good, it probably depends on your playstyle which works better for you. Try it

I advise you experiment to see what works best for you. If what you choose first isn't working you can always visit the Shrines to restat and/or reskill.
