[Nightblade Prestige] Daedra Hunter: Disciples of Hatred (Based off Diablo 3)
[Note: If you wish to skip the backstory, please scroll down to the bottom half of the post. If you would like to know just for funsies what this class is all about, or you wish to know the history for RP, please read full post. Allons-y!]
[P.S. This backstory may take some.... creative freedoms and is definitely not canon, but hey, sometimes a little fan creativity (like mods in skyrim), things can get a little bit interesting!]
The Daedra Hunter: Disciples of Hatred
"Rage. Hate. Fear. They all feed upon one another. A daedric hunter learns how to direct hate. But such a balance is precarious. And when that balance is lost, the cycle begins: Hate begets Destruction. Destruction begets Terror as Terror begets Hate."
A little back story:
Daedric hunters are relentless vigilantes who execute their infernal targets with an arsenal of ranged weapons at their full disposal. They crouch and take aim far from danger, relying on bows, rage filled magicka, and projectiles to swiftly bring an end to Molag Bal's minions that haunt their realm. With skillfully placed shots, wide salvos of arrows and a talent for daggers at their disposal, Daedra Hunters excel at devastating groups of foes who cluster together. Hunters’ pinpoint accuracy also allows them to deal with stronger foes at a distance: they can snipe at key targets or fall back while snapping off kill shots at advancing foes. However, demon hunters’ focus on ranged combat and limited melee-weapons training leave them in danger when they’re cornered or surrounded. Evasive skills like Shadowy Figure and Consuming Darkness, as well as targeted attacks that hamstring and slow enemies, are as crucial to survival as any arrow in a hunter’s quiver.
Sworn to the destruction of the creatures of Oblivion,[2] the Daedra Hunters are few in number—only in the hundreds and do not owe their allegiance to any one king or race. Rather, daedric hunters are those who have lost their homes and loved ones to Oblivion Spawn, and only those who escape the harbours of Molag Bal's dominion and return to Tamriel can they achieve this feat. For every Daedric Hunter left a part of themselves in his domain, their soul. After they return, to the scene of death and despair around them, they are forever linked to the Daedric taint of Oblivion. When their homes are burnt and their families butchered around them, most newly scarred refugees give up on living – but a few bury their dead, band together, and swear vengeance. There is something in all daedric hunters that gives them the strength to resist the corruption of Molag Bal that would drive lesser men to madness. They hone this power, for their resistance to this taint enables them to use the daedra's power as a weapon. Yet they dare not dream of victory, or, even less likely, peace of the Alliances. They cannot hope to return to their former lives, and are perpetually at war within themselves, striving to balance their hatred of Oblivion Spawn with the need for discipline. But still, they hunt, hoping that if they can save but one life from the forces of Molag Bal, the world will be better for it. Haunted by their pasts and fueled by vengeance in the present, they can do nothing else.
Daedra hunters are feared by some of the same people they aim to save. Some say that daedra hunters are no better than the spawn they hunt, that they bring death and destruction with them. And indeed, sometimes, a hunter loses their ability to control their fear or hatred, and consequently lose themselves to their violent impulses. Criminals amongst the brotherhood are given three days food and water and banished. Many of the hunters' eyes glow with hellfire, due to peering into demons and seeing vengeance.
The demon hunter order is currently based nestled deep within the Velothi mountains, near the border between Skyrim and Morrowind. This is so they can live and train without the interference of any nation that would worry over having such a group, and it provides a vantage point to northern Cyrodil. Additionally, the abundance of demons and other foul creatures in the area gives recruits plenty of opportunities to hone their skills. At any given point in time, over half of the Daedra Hunters are operating around all points of Cyrodill so they may enter all portions of the realm with haste, hunting down Daedra wherever they may be found in Tamriel.
It is currently rumored that the Jarl of Riften is looking to commission the construction of a fort and hire the daedric hunters, for what is not sure as of this time.
((This is where I get just a little too creative with my freedoms here. For players who played Skyrim, and know of the history of the Dawnguard, I'm saying that the Daedra Hunters would eventually form an order to fight the combatants of all evil after the Daedra leave this plane of existence.))

Class: Shadow
- Consuming Darkness
- Shadow Cloak -> Shadowy Disguise
Class: Siphoning
- Strife -> Swallow Soul
- Catalyst
Weapon: Dual Wield
- Twin Slashes -> Blood Craze
Passives:- Dual Wield Expert
Weapon Bow:- Poison Arrow -> Venom Arrow
- Volley
Armor: Medium- Dexterity
- Wind Walker
- Improved Sneak
Guild: Fighters- Silver Bolts -> Silver Shards
- Intimidating Presence
- Slayer
Bow skillset:- Shadowy Disguise
- Swallow Soul
- Venom Arrow
- Volley
- Silver Shards
- Consuming Darkness
Dagger Skillset:- Shadowy Disguise
- Swallow Soul
- Blood Craze
- Lotus Fan
- Killer Blade
- Death Stroke
--- The Bow setup is to start off your attack with the Silver Shards (especially if it is a Daedra or Undead enemy / group of enemies as the shards will hit up to 3 enemies at once; you might be able to one shot banish them and get the fight already tipped to your favor). If that only knocks them to the ground, follow up immediately with your Venom Arrow to begin poisoning them. Continue to shoot them while they are down and make sure your distance is obtained before they rise again, or incase their buddies are coming, then focus on harming the other guys while your first enemy is poisoned. As you back away from the oncoming storm, pop off your Swallow Soul to begin leeching life from them as they are about to start pounding your flesh. Whenever your shards come back, always pop those off, as they will stun your enemy every time or end the battle immediately, it's the ace in the hole for any hunter. When you can, use your volley to do AoE damage, and Shadowy Disguise and Consuming Darkness are your get out of jail free cards and WILL save your life.
--- The Dagger set up is if you feel brave enough to face your foes up close and personal. Very good for inflicting DPS and sapping enemies while your allies whittle them down and tank the damage for you. Use Lotus Fan from far away as you will surprise your enemy with your teleportation, and you have the AoE Damage going ontop of smacking your target, you'll also snare other enemies nearby to keep the fight under -your- control. As you are kind of a glass cannon, you'll need to rely heavily on your Swallow Soul (Mana) and your Blood Craze (stamina), two vital sources of health regen and causing damage to your enemy. Use Killer Blade when your foe is weak, it will do extra damage and almost surely end their life, as well as granting you a health boost. Death Stroke will do quite a hefty chunk of damage, and should be used when you need to seriously turn the tides of the battle. Just as the last build, Shadowy Disguise is a get out of jail free card, use it wisely.
Don't be afraid to use your sneaking, and definitely keep your discipline in balance with your hatred, dont rush into fights unless your stamina is full.
If anyone has any questions, comments or ideas to build upon this design of mine, please feel free to post! I looks forward to hearing feedback on this! I hope you all enjoy my build and can have as much fun with it as I am, great for both PvE and PvP!

Just curious, has anyone used a build similiar to this or has decided to use this specific build? I am now level 40 and this build has only gotten better and carried me to the point where I can literally solo anything that comes my way (Well, within reason. Like I don't require help often to take care of my needs).0
