Can Stamblades be brawlers?

Hey everyone, I'm an on-and-off player suffering with altoholism and delete-way-too-many-characters-because-they're-ugly syndrome. I really don't want to have to make this choice again; I'm tired of it and I just want to get to max level with at least 1 character after 135 hours of game time (current highest char is lvl 26).

I want to make a character that is pretty good at dishing out damage, while being able to take quite a few hits himself without tons of dodging/elusiveness (for pvp). I really like the look and feel of nightblades... their attacks and sounds have a certain "crunchiness" to them that just makes them oh so satisfying to kill people with. However, as I look more and more into it, I realize that stamblade might not be the best fit. They seem to rely way too much on dodging rather than class based sustain and healing: cloak is unreliable and often doesn't work (in pvp). So, I'm wondering if stamina nightblade makes a good brawler, open combat toe-to-toe in your face playstyle for pvp. I like how stamblade performs in pve so far, but since I havent done a real dungeon yet, that might change .

So, can stamblades be bruisers in PvP? If not, which class would suit me best? I've done the starting quests too many damn times and I don't want to have to do them again (for daggerfall at least), so I wanna get this choice right.

Edit: Took a stamden up to lvl 8, and I hated the delay on all of the damaging skills. Felt really clunky to me.

Here’s a friend on mine on a Stam blade. Medium armor no Proc sets at all. No troll king no blood spawn. There aren’t many people who can pull this off.

Stam NB Brawler (literally and figuratively)

Yes. I only play brawler stamblade.

What are you, some kind of brawl-baby?
