I have a Nirn Spriggian 2H Sword, still good to run this and double dot poisons next patch? Or do you really think I should swing that 2H Sprigg Maul w/ Sharpened?

It wouldn't surprise me to see you overcome any nerfs with your mastery of the class. I'm curious how the average player will do.

Still good, the real damage difference between Nirn and Sharp in a Duel is about 200 damage(or less) on Surprise Attack.

I see you have Shacklebreaker in the video. Watched the whole thing, and am curious to get your perspective on;

Bone Pirate
Eternal Hunt

As other alternative sets.

Not to poo poo on Shackle, it's a mighty fine set. But I'm curious to see if these 2 sets will still hold up come next patch.

Bone Pirate is a fine set, I have nothing against it, it will grant you more damage by about 250 tooltip dmg on SA.
Youll lack magicka sustain though which is very important for kiting and you cannot dodge roll more in BP.
In duels where the mag sustain from shackle is overkill, BP is shining. But in BGs or Openworld where u might end up outnumbered Shackle is just superior. The damage loss on Shackle isnt big either.

The damage loss in Eternal Hunt is too big, the set would be better if it had another 129 somewhere in it.
On top of it Eternal Hunt has the same issue of lacking magicka sustain for kiting, but it makes up for it cause of the 5p effect.

Thank you for replies. Gives me good info to chew on for abit before patch hits PS4.

Thanks for pointing out the Piercing Mark on the Skeletal Bomber..that is absolutely devastating to the Necro.

Post nerf... Nice joke lol

My goodness how I wish I had a master's bow.

Hey there, I quite liked your changes. I have done some similar changes on my build, however I feel you may be wrong about the Critical Chance bonii. I have done some extensively testing on Live with a guild tank on this.

Comparing 3.8% OF Set Bonus To 129 Weapon Damage Of Set Bonus

Iff

(Weapon Damage Buffed + Max Stamina/10.5) > 6000

Crit Chance Existing =< 55%

Crit Damage Modifier => 1.85x

Opponent Crit Resists at 3300

Then

Average Damage is the same, Heals are higher. For builds with higher WD+Stam, Crit Modifier and lesser Crit Chance, Critical Chance is better on average and these baseline requirements are quite low. I can understand not liking it's RNG nature though.

Also taking the Crit Chance into account, Slimecraw > 300 Weapon Damage.

If you build to into high crit modifier, you can hit 2.0x Crit Modifier easily on a Khajiit, while having more or less the same stats as yours.

Nice guide, only thing I noticed is the execute part. Below 25% is a very narrow range and with healing you’ll likely have different results.

Honestly I live your videos @TheRealSniker BUT I still love my NB setup

Also the tool tips are out of stealth so you can only imagine 😍😍

And I played woodelf for years on my NB but have been LOVING running darkelf since its giving you free shacklebreaker

Sword and shield is going to be the way to go.

I'm trying the following edits:

dropped bloodspawn for slimecraw.

dropped fear for ambush and use cloaked suprrise attack for stun

dropped shuffle and rally for leeching strikes and forward momentum.

slimecraw covers the beserk nerf.
ambush almost covers the fracture nerf
agree with high burst build and therefore the loss of major defile hopefully is moot. but it is a nerf.
