what to do with NB?

boobafinno

Since sneak attack 20% nerf i dont know what to do with my NB, which builded as pure ganker. Now i can kill only sleepy newbies with it. Any ideas how to rebuild my NB? Does some another kinds of gank still exist? Or this class completely dead now? Share your experience with NB and pvp builds for morrowind patch(not only ganks builds).

Bake some sustain and survivability into your NB and use it more as a fast paced brawler rather than ganker. I personally always liked more in your face fighting rather than sitting around waiting for the gank. The class isn't dead.

Um. Since selens was on gold vendor last week, the nb pop just exploded in cyrodil. Everyone is running Selene, viper, and what ever else you want. Seems nb are back and procing pretty hard with the usual animation cancel bs with ambush, surprise attack, incap, with Selene, viper, and light attacks with oblivion damage weaved in. Nasty combo doing high burst damage. Doesn't even appear the sneak attack nerf is even noticeable.

Personally I use Amberplasm on mainbar, Transmutation on offbar, Engine Guardian monster set. Inferno/Resto. I see it pretty good, 40k magicka, 23k health and 12k stamina. Got pretty good sustain and survi, my damage comes from 5 light armor pieces and decent pull of magicka, and 2000+ spell power coming from rings' enchants. Cc isnt a problem - because of 6/1/1, amberplam and engine guardian I have decent stamina pool and regeneration. In that setup I see magblade pretty strong choice.

What does " Since selens was on gold vendor last week," mean?

Selenes is one of the monster (dungeon bosses) two piece proc gear sets in the game. These gear sets are all unique and individually related to one of the group dungeons in the game. So players usually farm the particular dungeon for the helm (drops from dungeon boss) and the shoulder piece found in the designated undaunted enclave chests. So players have to grind and farm battling the RNG before getting the exact gear they want.

Now ZOS added to the game the "golden vendor" khajiit merchant in Cyrodiil at one of each alliances' main gates (i.e. for Dagerfall Covenant it's North High Rock at the horse stable). The vendor appears each weekend on Friday starting at 8 pm EST and sticks around until sometime Sunday night.

The golden vendor randomly sells the different monster gear sets each weekend. So no need to farm group dungeons but you have to wait until the vendor is selling the gear you want. Basically you can't escape RNG.

You have the perfect class to rush through the TG and DB DLCs for those sweet sweet collection rewards! So the class is not dead. Apart from that well... let's just say that you may need a doctor to check the pulse...

Stamblades are so strong in BGs. A good nightblade can kill everyone in the match without dying and win. I played a TDM game with a great stamblade, 2v3v4, he just killed everyone and we went like 500-100-20 or something.

I say Stamblades are in a good spot right now in PvP.

That was a fabulous, thorough and complete answer to my question!

No CP helps.

Hug them. And listen to their tales of woe due to lost ganking potency.
They need it.
...
And then adapt your nightblades, like everyone had to at one point or another when the game was changed one way or another. And remember...

Here is a non-trolling suggestion everyone will think is trolling.

Remove the NB class from the game, go back to the drawing board and come up with something not always treading the needle between broken and worthless.
