Thinking of respecing my magicka nightblade to a stamina blade

chaserstorm16909 · December 2015

I know that stamina builds have the potential to do about twice as much damage as magicka ones in pvp. As a magicka blade, I have about 2400 spell damage and I still feel like I can't hurt a fly in pvp. Is respecing worth the time and effort? Is there anything I could do for a good heal with a stamina blade (other than vigor of course)? Any thoughts? Thank you.

I prefer the stamina gameplay over magicka, when it comes to Nightblades. Regards to heals, outside of Vigor, Rally (morph of Momentum in the 2H skill line) will be your other bread and butter heal for a stamina playstyle. I've seen both magicka and stamina Nightblades tear it up in IC/Cyrodiil, so I think really it comes down your playstyle. For me, stamina just synergizes with the way I play, more.

You'd want at least 3K buffed spell damage for a magblade in PvP to really do damage. If you want to try stamina though Vigor and rally (from 2H) are your only reliable heals. Most stamblades nowadays use 2H for a buff bar and use dual wield for damage.
