Trying Nightblade and need advice

So, I'm trying out the Nightblade class for the first time and I'm trying to figure out which way to go with it. Is it better to morph to stamina abilities or magicka abilities? Isn't stealth a big deal for the Nightblade? Anyway, which is better? Stamina? Or Magicka? And please give me a reason why you feel this way. And is it too much to ask to say it like you would in a "ESO for Dummies" or "Nightblades for Dummies" manual? Thanks!

    Run stamina, 3 proc sets your enemies will fall faster as you count them.

    Choosing between Mag & Stam depends a bit on your race

    Stealth does play an important part for both types of NB, with Stam being more natural sneaks and Mag being able to cloak more

    Depends, do you like burst, proc sets, quick kills and dodge rolls? Go with stamina.

    Do you like stealth/cloak, utility (e.g. Group heals and shields) damage over time skills, more tankyness and destro staffs go with magicka.

    Magicka has more utility in both pve and pvp but has higher skill cap to play and can be frustrating. You could just go stamina and wear salenes, viper, and eternal hunt and hit the iwin button.

    I knew I forgot something. I'm a Bosmer using dual wield right now. My back bar hasn't opened yet, but I've got at least 3 skills I can morph. Those morphs are what caused me to come and ask about this. Do I morph and switch them from magicka skills to stamina skills? Or do I leave them as magicka skills?

    Then I would advise to go Stamina, and if any of your class skills has a Stamina morph, then take it.
