Good PvP Nightblade Class For 2018?

Nihilistic4

Hey there,

I just got back from a long period off ESO and wanted to know what some good Nightblade classes to run were? I used to run StamBlade Two-Handed and Bow with Selene’s Set but it doesn’t appear to do much for me now.

Does anyone have any good suggestions for 2018? I appreciate the help!

Also in Champion if that helps. Thanks again!

Yeah use those two. Clever alchemist and spriggans are good bang for your slots.

Viper is damage over time now which is why its not strong anymore. Sloads is just better viper atm.

Cp wise
For blue you want it in mighty, master at arms, crit damage. Spriggans gives you penetration so you don't have to spend many points on it (if you use hundings you'll have to put more into penetration)
For red elemental defender, hardy and ironclad
For green. Stam regen, Warlord (break free) and hmm either roll dodge, sprit or block cost. Depends on your playstyle or some in each.

Just for clarity, I think you mean builds, because Nightblade is your class.

So many people run heavy armor in PVP that penetration is very helpful on a Stamina Nightblade. Look into Spriggan's Thorns, Sharpened Weapons, and/or Lover Mundus Stone.

Also take note that 2H, bow, and staves now count as two set pieces, so you can run a 5-5-2 setup with those weapons!

Aye I did mean “build”; shows how long I’ve been away

But I didn’t know about the staves and two-set pieces so thank you for that!

What would you say is a good mask to go with Spriggan? That seems like the best choice atm

Some people will run Velidreth or Selene for burst (melee range). My build splits the pieces:

1 pc Kena (for weapon damage)
1 pc Kra'gh (for even more penetration)

I guess it depends if you like relying on a proc or not.

Would you say that works well with 2H?

I am running: Bloodspawn, Clever Alchemist and Spriggans... (and I want a Masters bow). You get over 5K weapon damage.

Heavy Bow attack, Potion, PI, Ambush, Cloak, Incap, Executioner.

Bloodspawn triggers and you quickly get Incap back up and do it again.

I also want to try an Onslaught version as well but I'll need Hundings rage jewellery.

I alreday have a five set piece of Clever Alchemist gear from last time I was on and some purple spriggan gear as well. What would you say the best option is to mix them together? I was in need of a new 2H as well, last 2H from the Viper set but it does little to no damage now.

I’d also be thankful if you had some advice on CP distribution if you had any ideas. I’m looking to change that heavily because I believe that doesn’t do justice anymore
