What alt should I make / best partner for night blade ?

Chelister

Hey everyone

So I have this VET 1 Templar that I mainly played solo and really enjoy it

My friend, who didn’t play this game before, is planning to join it as an imperial night blade and now I am thinking of what class and race should I pick to play with him. We are only going to play together, so I was also thinking which class should I play to suit him.


As I have noticed, the Templar as a class has pretty much good aoe damage, but when it comes to single target, he's kind of weaker compared to other classes

So what I was thinking of is making a new class, which would have some kind of burst single target dps.

I want something different from the Templar I have and that’s why I need some advice

Thank you

A DK tank would go nicely with a NB. Charge in and take aggro off the NB while he does sustained DPS. My main is a NB and I'd very much appreciate the tank help. Plus the NB has some nice synergies to heal and buff the party.

Basically any class is suited for this. It's really something you should choose wheter you want to play a class or not.

DK has least burst damage but has a great dps sustain. NB and Sorc can do both. Stamina builds are mostly pretty strong in burst damage too.

Just take a look at all classes, see what suits and interests you the most and pick that one. No wrong choice here.

In that regard above, a templar can also tank, and also do amazing single-target dps, and can switch to heals if needed. It's a versatile class, which I think goes well with NB. But the main issue is pick a class that you enjoy playing. If you hate the play style, (even if its recommended by others), then you're not going to enjoy it.

I agree that for PVE a DK tank would suit really good, cuz taking the aggro and letting NB to deal decent damage

But what if it comes to PVP, I doubt that I'll be able to take aggro from NB, cuz it's real players we are facing, not NPCs. Consequently we will end up at the point where we both can't deal enough damage, cuz DK doesn't have burst (as far as I am concerned) and NB will eventually die because we weren't fast enough

I can see how Templar would synergies with NB, by keeping him alive, buffing/de-buffing and also helping to deal damage
But I already have a Templar which is VET lvl 1, so I was thinking of another class to start off with my friend who would be playing as a NB

And yes, you are right about your second point, but I honestly don't really know much about the other classes and their play styles. I can search in google about the classes and their builts, but I need an insight from 'right now' players, not theory builds etc...

I find my NB outdamages the DK/Temp/Sorc that are questing along near him .. one reason i love siphon, can heal some of the damage i know is heading towards me if i don't kill it first lol

another NB or a sorc if your intetnion is PvP otherwise i would recommend staying on your templar or a DK

In my subjective opinion, the best combo with NB is a Templar.

This.

But choose the opposite. If he decides to go stamina you go magicka.
