Vampire Blademaster

Ok so lots of vampire build around wich focus around Sorcerer cost reduction on ultimate what im proposing here is an all out Nightblade heavy armor AOE damage nuker with near endless sustain heavy aoe dps and serious single target damage as well. The blademaster is a force to be afraid off... both dealing serious damage and having the armor rate to sustain it (alliance war player have serious reason to be effraid of these guys as they will spend near 100% of their time spamming devouring swarm or marking for the kill).

Description

This build as you might have figured has two strong point 1 behing its strong affinity for building ultimate at an insane rate and 2 behing able to overheal damage without much effort. The way to use it is simple Initiate the fights by marking the caster in the enemy group (yea the unfamous reapers mark is part of this build) While reaper mark weakens both your and your target armor considering you got a considerable armor rate as well as a armor buff you do can afford to take more damage especialy if its from a healer you want dead from the start. Sneak in that group with Shadowy disguise or just by sneak running (because vampire do run while sneaking) strait to it and kill it (should normaly be a 1 shot) Now Aoe the heck out of those mobs by spamming carve. The moment your stamina is void use Invigorating drain and keep hacking and slashing the adds with carve. If you are fighting multiple target your ulti bar will charge like crazy (was spamming my ult about every 15 second at worse) just use devouring swarm to nuke the hell out of them. While it doesn't look like it you can actualy choose to expend magicka as a defensive measure by using cloak everytime the armor buff run out effectively buffing yourself with high armor boost. As an alternative to reapers mark Power extraction deals a better job for large group dps due to its high gain in weapon damage as well as the ultimate gain from each target.

PRO:

Gota love the insane aoe damage this build proc you can just jump into a 16 target fray and still keep killing. Assasinating specific target is also this build strength long as the target don't deal that much base damage and is pretty much relatively quick to kill (most targets are one shots anyway, if im to use this in cyrodiil along with a heavy damage ability like uppercut your pretty much as good as dead). lots of viability for stealth wich also proc you the mean to tank hits quite well

CON:


For single target boss killing this build may be lackluster. The reason itself is obvious you cant use drain on most boss and even then only once per fight or nearly. Add to this the fact the most damaging single target ability of the build also makes you take more damage and your stamina only recharge faster when using shadowy disguise or focused attack you will need a partner to solo down most boss otherwise then with the shield build wich itself isn't realy made for self healing (strife has a good healing rate but wont keep you alive like a healer would or a multi target fight would, you need fodder to keep the meat grinder running else it ends up breaking and you cant just strait up 1 shot kill a boss within one second, while in dungeon these problems wont exist in regular pve when doing a solo quest against a boss or worse yet a daedric leviathan you are gunna have a very hard time in 2h sword mode). At this point swallow soul is your life saver as a replacement to Invigorating drain but you might want to replace mark for the 2h sword healing ability (rally) for those fight so to keep yourself alive. Of course single player boss fighting isn't realy the strong suit of nightblade unless they are using a restoration staff that's more like dragonknight or Templar specialisation.

    I noticed on your build you dumped everything in health, so I'm wondering how does this impact your stamina.

    Just a note, reaper's mark no longer reduces your armor. And the site is no longer up to date. Armor bonuses are slightly different now.

    Use this http://eso-skills.com/ for a more up to date skill builder. You can also go to Google playstore if you have an android phone and download eso skills app by zam.

    While it seems great for a vampire blademaster build.. Putting all points in health is no longer the best way to dps or even to level. Vampires have an affinity with magicka builds so that should be the way to go.. Though the fire debuff is terrible imo.
