well, i'd like to help you but i dont think i can. regarding melee nb and how delayed they are now (assassin's will / ults) and the lack of efficient aoes in its toolkit (because yes, aoes and undelayed things are what's mandatory to any decent build):
you wont find any nb build on par with a dk/templar/warden build.
i'm not saying NB are bad. they can be efficient in some situations, but they are just very teddious to play, and they just cant have "balanced" build. they'll lack of something, whatever way you look at it. beside bringing nothing to your team ofc.
dont be this rude!
NB may not be on the highest spot, it's still enjoyable and doesnt deserve to be delete.
it could also be on top again in a few months/years.
just reroll if you enjoy izi play until nb becomes less tedious to make profit of.

One thing I’ll mention about making a new character and how to build. I’ve noticed this from making a new character and seeing different play styles and working my way back up the MMR ranks.
New PvPers: don’t heal themselves
Low MMR rank pvpers: don’t heal themselves enough
Middle rank MMR pvpers: don’t heal themselves enough
Middle rank PvPers in premades: don’t heal themselves enough, use a healer to cover their crappy play
See a trend? Front bar vigor always. Cast it before you engage like a buff. For some reason people think that loading up all on damage abilities helps them when they get blown up in 2 seconds.

StamNB can't afford to front bar Vigor though, outside DW builds.

Titanbrandd does I’m pretty sure, I think he’s the best stamblade I’ve seen. Some things you have to make space for.

2H/Bow can not front bar Vigor though. If you have both Rally and Vigor on one bar, firstly that leaves only three skill bars for offense skills and also leaves you without an heal on Bow bar, which is the bar in which StamNBs spend majority of time in in. DW/S&B builds front-bar Vigor, but only because they have Rally back bar. Also stamNBs rely on Rally more than Vigor as a stamNB, you can avoid tons of damage, even on BGs. Right now 2h/Bow rollerblades are stronger than all kinds of brawlerblades and every rollerblade build right now is using two body damage sets on body as well as Camo Hunter/Ambush front bar, removing any possible space for Vigor front bar.

I feel like I have a lot of range in no-CP PvP to try out way different set combos and skill setups on magblade. I've used 2H Onslaught builds, max magicka-stacking healer, and a New Moon's + Marauder's haste build (+88% movement speed fully buffed!!), all of which have been fun and successful.
I often find when I'm bored with one class or spec, it helps to switch it up and come back to the character later. Also learn a lot that way about how other classes are faring in the current meta

Thank you for the effort but the thing is: I have a magblade setup on a different character. Also, I'm 100% happy with that one and how it works. I want my main to be a stamblade as that was the idea I created her with, in the beginning. There is no point for me to play that character if i don't make it work nicely somehow.

Not going to lie. People are stuck in the past and magblade is better imo. If s not great, but better.

Like I said, I have a magblade that I regularly play, and I am satisfied with it. I would, however, like to have a good functional build on my stamblade, for the sake of utilizing my first ever character. There's a connection to that character. I've done all on that said character, from quests, over exploration, to the most difficult achievements. I technically COULD switch to Magicka for the sake of staying sane, until they switch how classes operate again...
Ughhh it pains me though...
Is there perhaps a good magbuild that you can suggest, that you think could play with dual wield, so I could at least pretend?
