I am a night Blade (NORD) DUEL DAGGER) NEED HELP!

GreatPlayer

Pls help me and give me insight on how to make my night blade more aoe viable thank you!

I am fairly strong as a 1v1 or even 1v3, but some dungeon have more then 5 monsters coming at you at the same time. I duel dagger night-blade is just helpless! I use whirling blade, either I did something run or Knight blade is just pathetic at AOE? By the way I also use swallow soul for health steal, but there must be something I am doing wrong!

Use your cc and stuns. I'm not sure how much mana you have, since I went heavy magic build, but that is how i destory things. One shot first mob, go invis stun the second one. Kill it go invis really simple for me.

I put great emphasis in duel wield skill tree! So I invested a lot of points in Stamina!

I'm not sure how you would do it than. I feel that how we live is through our magic skills mostly. So, sorry I am not much help.

Sure I use

Killers Blade
Concealed weapon
Leeching strikes (even though they appear to be bugged)
Swallow soul
shadow disguise
Ultimate Soul Tether
Medium armor for the faster attack speed.

Let me explain why I use them.

Swallow and leeching is more defense when I need it. Also having them both buffs my magic making my concealed weapon hit harder. Concealed weapon one shots almost every thing for me. Killer blade for the extra magic back and life.
Shadow disguise used mixed with concealed can also be my defense.

On mobs that cant be stunned. I deal as much damage as I can. Switch to leeching try to keep life up. If that fails. I roll back invis, switch to resto staff regen up and start again. However, my damage output is so high and I have so much mana that I simple destory things before I get a chance to use my second weapon.


Also, I think 2hand weapons do aoe better if I'm not mistaken.

Dual wield tends to have it's downsides!

My I ask how many points you have currently put into magick, health and stamina. VERY creative and interesting build by the way!

rager82b14_ESO

I put all my points into magic. It is overcharged, but my defense and offense depends on magic. I'm also a breton for the extra magic and reduce magic cost. I'm sure any race can do this build.

My DW NB is 7 Magicka, 12 Health, 18 Stamina. My current skills slotted are Killer's Blade, Ambush, Ember Explosion, Whirling Blades, Hidden Blade, and Incapacitating Strike. I usually go in hidden, use Ambush and if the first target doesn't die to Ambush, they will usually go down with Killer's Blade. Then I follow up with Ember Explosion which is an AoE blind/damage. Throw in a couple Whirling Blades rinse and repeat the process.

I am a heavy stam build because stamina increases your weapon damage which is better for using more weapon skills over class skills. I have Incapacitating Strike because it is a heavy hitter when charged. I can usually take on 4 or so enemies but more tend to give me some trouble.

One thing I know that helps me when it comes to AoE is the Bow skill Scorched Earth then swapping to DW and doing the above. I lose a little bit of damage output form not going in stealth but it helps for larger groups.

I hope this helps a little and good luck to you in your travels.

I found my 2H NB does pretty well. Mostly Stamina and only taken shadow cloak, morphed with root. If I get in trouble I go invisible, cleave is super useful for multiple mobs, so is the passive for splash dmg. All my SP are in 2H and a lot in crafting as well. Very rarely do I get into serious trouble unless I am lagging.

However I am re-rolling a new character and trying to go the way of the bow now, also focusing heavily on stamina.

And the damage output is pretty darn high. if I sneak up on a mob and do heavy, they usually die or have very little HP left. If you do this with a 2H mace, the mob is also stunned.
