I want a PvP NB with stamina build but it feels weak

Elidas

I started playing as a NB with 2/3 stamina and 1/3 health, but after playing 1 month I have the feeling that stamina is much worse than magicka. Bests skills use magicka and the increased damage for my weapon skills is so low that I feel bad trying to play something that is clearly weaker than other builds. I though that the thief and assasin skills would use stamina, but those skills do not exist even though they were announced. I keep hearing that vampires have the most powerful build, but I just don't want to be a vampipre (or a werewolf).

Is there any good PvP stamina build over there?
Should I put 100% in health like everyone?

Weapon skills scale from stamina so maybe try putting more of them on your bar and use Magika ones for openers and executes

Elidas

They scale from stamina, true, but right now I have 30 points in stamina, 0 in magicka and I do more damage with my class skills than with my weapon skills.
If I had placed those points in magicka instead of stamina I would do even more damage and could spam more times those class skills.
I love the weapon skills, but it feels like poor versions of other magicka based skills

Yeah the while Melee class skills scaling with Magika wasn't very well thought through, I think bow has the best pvp stamina build due to sneak crits with snipe.

Max your stamina, get + weapon damage jewelry, slot flawless dawnbreaker (+13% weapon damage) and equip a Hunding's Rage (+5% dmg on skills) + Night Mother (armor debuff on crits) set and you start see some good damage.

This is my bar:
1 - flying blade
2 - blood craze
3 - blinding flurry/immovable
4 - concealed weapon
5 - dark cloak
U - flawless dawnbreaker

The damage output is good.
Survavibility? Uh not so much...

Well, I tried stamina and I tired magicka and I tried balancing the two. What I learned is that NB is difficult to play at its best. NB is the step-child of the classes.
I tried light armor, medium armor and heavy armor...it made little difference... two opponents fine...three... re-spawn. And yes, I am an average player... sorry, not all of us can be Emperor.
Yes I know there are some really superb players that do great with the NB. I am not one of them.
I also do not like to be a Vampire and most successful Nightblade builds are. At least all those I did watch on YT are.

My conclusion... the NB is at the moment not for me. It is for players with quick fingers, a keen eye and quick reflexes. ... and low latency...nearly forgot that. 260 - 360 latency do not help when playing a NB

My idea is having fun and not more stress and so I stay away from NB.

good luck all
