Gank Nightblade PvP

KamoChameleon

So for two years of this game I played a tank. One month or two ago I decided to switch it up a bit and go from one extreme to another and made a gank nightblade. Mainly because I needed something that I could do solo due to time zone differences with my guild. I must say I really enjoy the playstyle it's very relaxing. Anyways, I made some video's so thought people might like to see them. This isn't a 'I'm a pro' video, it's just for fun. In fact if you watch the earlier ones you can see my burst and combinations are changing with each video as I figure things out.

From most current backwards.

From one ganker to another, good stuff! Nice to see someone rolling dw/bow as a ganker in pvp, not many players have the will to forgo rally from 2hander.

GreenSoup totally agree. Im kind of an extreme person so I'm just 'all in' if you know what I mean. I tend to use potions for the crit and dmg buff. So dual wield seems better because it gives you more dps. Now I'm just trying to decide between khajit vs wood elf.

Welcome! One of us
Great vids and yes it's good to see dw instead of rally junkies

Nice one, love the idea that a good gank is relaxing haha.
I love DW/Bow too, don't feel comfortable with anything else.

Very interesting. Seems like something I might want to try out. I've always loved sneaking up on enemies in most games, so I think I may try this out.

You spend so much time sneaking up on siege players...how annoying. Good job, lol. I only play my stamblade in pvp right now. I just love the assassin style of it.

The job of a NB is to confuse, disorient, annoy and terrorize groups. Keep captures go way too fast, but as shown in these videos, if there are nightblades who know what they're doing in the battle, they can utterly break up the cadence of the siege. I have spent soooooo many sieges with just me and my NB friend annoying the heck out of 8-12 siegers...just to delay them long enough to have reinforcements swarm in and kill them all.

Nightblades. Our enemies hate us. But who cares - all our enemies are corpses.

Waiting for rikhoff to appear and show his hatred for nightblade ganks xD

What i noticed is that you mostly didn't solo gank people. You ran bit ahead of bigger group or just landed heavy attack / ambush combo from stealth in a normal zerg vs zerg situation, or you had another ganker with you.

So i'd like to see more pure solo ganking material.

To me, this is more ordinary PvP, rather than pure solo ganking, what i would've expected from the title.

Anyway, you certainly have buld for solo playing too.

I've heard it compared with fishing. It's like waiting for that bite. I personally think 90% of it happens before you hit them ie planning exit strategies, picking targets, pickign where you're going to attack from. I find it quite relaxing indeed.

A lot of the time I'm in a group but they are not with me beause I tend to wander off on my own absent mindedly if you know what I mean:) Some of that was just other DC players jumping in or I was fighting around a zerg.

Reading maps, riding a horse, or on a seige are like my primary targets:) OH and AKF. I had fun spawn camping a camp the other day too. Or killing people as they dropped from the bridge to escape the fight. I never fight fair. I've literally go no defenses I can't:) And yeah Nightlblades can really terrorise a group. It can be psychologically annoying to a group that knows out there there is this NB or two picking them off 1 by 1.

I like to work around the chaos of enemy zerg's a lot. So a lot of that is just other DC jumping in, which is hard to avoid. Also, I put some footage in when I'm playing with my guild to break it up a bit so it's not just gank, gank, gank, gank because I thought that would get boring. But maybe not as a few people have made that comment.
