Thoughts and Opinions, DW or Two hand NB? Trying for Stam DPS

Vastorus91
Trying to build the most optimal DPS possible and I do enjoy both of these... I'm just struggling to find which of the two will out put larger DPS.

    People will say 2 hand because you can abuse the hell out of rally for cheap heal's.

    I say dw because vigor will be level 5 in the assault tree soon.
    .
    .
    in the next patch, it seem's burst damage is going to be a thing of the past. I believe 2 hand still has more burst damage. However Zos is giving hidden blade major brutality. I'm uncertain how that effect's dw's dps though.

    I'm probably going to make the switch to dw once the patch goes live.

    My bar's will look something like this for a stamina nb user.

    Bar 1
    Dark Cloak, Flying Blade, Vigor, Surprise Attack, Ambush, Soul Harvest

    Bar 2
    Relentless Focus,Camouflage Hunter, Double Take, Piercing Mark, Lethal Arrow. Ult-Flawless Dawnbreaker

    I don't use Mass Hysteria because i don't ever need to CC more then one person. I never engage if im out numbered because im to squishy. I'll just use Surprise Att as my CC. I can save my magicka for Dark Cloak's.

    Also next major update, they are nerfing how dodge rolling is being spammed. So it's not as viable to be an in your face stamina nb in my eye's.

    My build is all about that first snipe, then jumping in to finish the job. When in Zerg fight's, ill just sit back and snipe and utilize Relentless Focus (which is getting buffed to proc Spectral Bow with only 4 light att's).

    Their are so many skill's i want to use just have no were to fit them.

    Blood Craze/Poison Injection are a couple i would like to still use to proc some nasty DoT's on people.

    I think Hidden Blade was the worst skill they could of chosen to put Major Brutality on. It should of Been Twin Slash's since you generally only use that once.
    .
    .
    I say build for what feel's comfortable to you.

    From what I've seen lately a magica NightBlade DPS with the right gear and point allocation can pretty much be perma invisible with a run speed faster then most horses.

    Why not take both?
