PvP/PvE Imperial Stamina Nightblade DW/Bow need help - Imperial City

ShiunTraze

Hi there I've currently got a v14 imperial nightblade and want it to be effective even against the tankier builds but find it very hard to do so and i usually die Hardly feel any survivability in it at all. I also can't seem to do much damage with my build. here's my build though:

http://eso-skills.com/skill/?z=R3qOJld@D9ALzUw%DGdFO7W@D8Elgl9

Attribute: Magicka 0 Health 0 Stamin 62
Gear: 7 medium, 5 hunding's rage, 5 night's silence (when on dw skill bar), Stamina based jewellery with no set

I am really struggling to do any good with my nightblade but it's my favorite class and my only character at high level so i really want to be pvping more effectively and in a way that i feel like i can actually compete and actually kill some people! I would like to use this character for Imperial City/Cyrodiil/Craglorn generally soloing but in a group sometimes if i can and would like it if there were more dw abilities on my bar but i dont know what to choose. Pleaaaaase help me with this, I would be very thankful, Im not very knowledgeable when it comes to builds.

How much hp are you sitting at? For pvp you want around 20k. Try enchanting hp on your big armor pieces.

Other than that your looking pretty good.

It is all about practice, not just your build. Know when to block, when to put pressure on and when to backoff and recoup.

Watch youtube videos and study how others play with builds similiar to yours. Stamina is VERY glass cannon. You either kill fast or are killed fast. You should stay away from the tankier players and gank squishys.

Yes as @Reeko says (& he knows) it's all technique...and absolutely glass cannon. But there's nothing more satisfying than exterminating quickly from stealthy manoeuvre.
You have my exact build except my secondary armour/weapons are Ashen.
Learn the heavy attack animation paired with ambush combination for large initial damage from stealth up close with little to no stamina use.
Veiled strike is very handy from cloak 1-1 for the stun, particularly against DK & NB...followed with spammed Rapid for the successful swift kill more often than not.
Spamming tornado will kill any & all trash (Pve) below single gold bar in one attack without using more than 2/3 of your stamina pool.
Always Reapers the weakest member of a mob before any attack as their kill will replenish the HP damage you encounter, and repeat on another if the mob etc isn't all dead straight off.
The effect of Expert Hunter against undead/daedra is very handy, & I have it on DW almost always for the critical plus stamina recoup.
Morphed snipe (forgotten the name sorry) from maximum distance & stealth is awesome, & poison arrow as an interrupt & stun against spell casters at distance is a God send.

Craglorn:
I have successfully solo'd only about half of, the rest is too tough for my playing skills. I had to heavy & 2H against some mobs due to their attack dps against my medium armour v's how quickly I received the reapers revive, & because Rally (in 2H only sadly) is IMO the greatest survivability buff in the edged weapon catalogue.
As a glass cannon we're not always going to get though group assignments solo, but you can sneak through most delves to get sky shards and kill off some bosses & a lot of trash.

In Pvp (I don't participate unless I'm attacked on my Pve adventuring) I've been killed by more stealth NB's than any other character class, & that should tell you something...

They're the pieces of experience I have learned, bought, or begged that with practice make being a NB a lot more fun.

Ah okay this was interesting thankyou, so you recommend i use these abilities while I'm pvping? &what do you mean by Reapers?

Reapers mark. I personally prefer Piercing mark as it is more useful on bosses or longer fights and its awesome in pvp!

He has said this before & I have never morphed Piercing but will once I can find something to gain XP on with my character, ie: IC...so sorry, I meant to tell you Piercing not Reapers.
