Hi everyone I am new to the game and I have a few questions!

Esorono

Hello! I am theory crafting a few builds, specifically a Stamina medium armor based Werewolf Night Blade Khajiit for PvE so I wanted a few suggestions and ask a few questions.

What is the leash range for Shadow Image?

I am planning on making my stats a 1 health and 4 stamina per five levels, would this be a good stat spread?

I am not sure what type of defensive tactics I should use, early in the game it seems going for a more evading based defense is more effective than resistance and armor and face tanking, should I focus a bit more on movement speed and stamina reduction for rolling and sprint, or should I focus a bit more armor/resist and use more blocking?

On a similar note, how effective is Shadow Cloak and its morphs in dungeons? Can mobs in those areas still see through it?

Because Werewolf is kind of the bread and butter of my build, is it a good idea to have one bar focused on buffs/ult generation while the other is more focused on DPS? Eg. Sword & Board / Heroic Slash, Mirage, Reaping Mark, Siphoning Attacks, Rearming Trap, Bolstering Darkness, And the DPS bar having Dagger & Dagger / Rapid Strikes, Whirling Blade, Razor Caltrops, Blood Craze, Killer's Blade, and Werewolf?

Change whirling blades to steel tornado and you're golden.

1st if you go DD 1h&shield is not good for off bar. Better use 2h(for momentum) or dw/dw. You also will need bow for some content.
2nd shadow cloak is not used in dungeons as it's dps loss.
3rd attr for DD are usually all to Stam.

A kajhiit werewolf......sounds like an extreme identity crisis! I wonder if you would end up chasing yourself.

Thank you everyone! Those suggestions actually look pretty good, so I will take them all into consideration. I didn't even really think about 2H for a utility weapon, but it does have some fairly nice abilities, such as Carve and Rally.

Not to force the meta on you, but probably the fastest way to get kicked from a group finder is to show up as a DPS with a sword and board.

DW is certainly the best choice for DPS. As for an off bar, bow is going to be more damage in group content no question. 2H is not bad for utility or when solo. Really the only 2H skill worth running in PVE is rally. Between your DW and class skills, you can do everything else a 2H can do and better. Carve is laughable compared to Steel Tornado for AOE damage.

I would make room for relentless focus on your main bar and move caltrops to the back bar. It's a very long DOT that costs a lot so you don't want to over cast it. Definitely a back bar skill.

Lastly, not 100% on this, but I am pretty sure that without VMA weapons you will do more DPS with surprise attack than rapid strikes.

put all points in stamina, use tri-glyphs or health glyphs to boost health.
