pre Champion system
PvE
Damage dealer
Race - Dark Elf, mainly for passives
NightBlade
Stamina - 0
Magicka - 37(after 10-15 points in health all in magicka for larger magicka pool - more dmg)
Health - 12(add at start of the game to give little bit survivability)

Main bar:
Destruction Fire staff - Seducer set,Precise(+critical), fire damage glyph, offers great range light/heavy attacks, with one of better aoes in game
1)Inner light - morph of Magelight, mages guild skill line, very effective dps boost toggle skill for magicka builds, offensive passive in pve
2) Funnel healt - morph of Strife, NB siphoning skill tree, great single target ability, long range, gives Heal Over Time based on damage done, effective luring/surviving/main dps(easily weaved with light attacks) skill, builds ulti quite fast.
3)Sap Essence - morph of Drain Power, NB siphoning skill tree, increases weapon damage and gives heal over time based on damage done/targets, poor damage but gives good survivability vs many monsters, great ultimate builder
4)Elemental Ring - morph of Impulse, Destruction staff skill, very effective aoe spell with a dot, great damage and great ultimate builder
5)Structured Entropy - morph of Entropy, Mages guild skill tree, awesome luring spell, low cost and weak heal over time, passively increases max health for 8%
Ultimate: Veil of blades - morph of consuming darkness, NB shadow skill tree, great snare+dot+incoming damage reduction lasting long enough to deal with multiple targets in it.

2nd bar:
i dont' use 2nd bar for leveling, there is no need for it, but potentially could be used for buffs like Fighter guild skill evil hunter and likes, or for singl target boss build/dolmen build( added fighter guild skill Silver shards(morph of Silver bolt) for 3 target stun, chance of high dmg)

Equipement:
>Armor - Light armor, Infused, Twilight's Embrace set, Magicka enchantment(great 3 set bonus for magicka builds)
>Boots - Light armor, Divines, Seducer set, Magicka enchantment(awesome 5 set bonus for leveling)
>Gloves -Ligth armor, Divines, Seducer set, Magicka enchantment
>Helmet - Light armor, Infused, Twilight's Embrace set, Magicka enchantment
>Pants - Light armor, Infused, Seducer set, Magicka enchantment
>Shoulder - Light armor, Infused, Twilight's Embrace set, Magicka enchantment
>Belt - Light armor, Divines, Seducer set, Magicka enchantment
infused trait on large enchantment parts(helmet, pants, armor) all the rest or all divines( adds some crit)
Jewelery:
>Ring - any arcane trait ring within 5-10 lvl of you, magicka regeneration
>Ring - any arcane trait ring within 5-10 lvl of you, magicka regeneration
>Necklace - any arcane trait ring within 5-10 lvl of you, magicka regeneration, if capped regeneration i pick 1 cost reduction for magicka spells

Great amount of magicka pool(normally way over softcap) and magicka regeneration(close to softcap or bit over it) makes this quite effective solo aoe build , when you unlock all related armor, weapon , class passives, this is very effective leveling build, rare death if lag/overestimate opponent/too many ranged opponents/equipement damaged. 1 or 2 skills can be changed(entropy, funnel health) for skill leveling purposes, or added instead of aoe if you are going to face bosses.

"The Nutella Nightblade" - PvP Build

5 Set Seducer
5 Pieces of Heavy Armor with Impenetrable, Enchanted with Health/Magicka

2 Set Malubeth's Scourge
2 Pieces of Light Armor with Infused, Enchanted with Stamina

3 Set Dominion's Potentate
Sword/Shield + Neck, with Defending/Impenetrable + Healthy, Enchanted with Disease/Health/Block Cost Reduction

2 Set Cyrodiil's Light
Rings, with Arcane, Enchanted with Spell Damage

Main Bar (Sword/Shield)

Swallow Soul
Sap Essence
Absorb Magic
Invasion
Siphoning Attacks
Ultimate: Veil of Blades

Off Bar (Restoration Staff)

Refreshing Path
Rapid Regeneration
Structured Entropy
Cleanse
Unstoppable
Ultimate: Soul Assault/Replenishing Barrier/Soul Tether

Nothing to really say about my Nightblade build, it's meant to tank zergs, and it does that by stacking lots of HoTs and permanently blocking with Siphoning Attacks toggled spamming Sap Essence as a direct heal, keeping Absorb Magic up as often as you can, it can heal you pretty strongly and it's worth the cost. Then if I get heal debuffed, which is the only way to really kill me, I swap bars, smack Cleanse, remove the debuff, and get healed for a lovely amount of HP.

Imperial Dragonknight - PvP Build

5 Set Seducer
3 Pieces of Light Armor with Impenetrable, Enchanted with Magicka
Sword/Shield with Sharpened/Infused, Enchanted with Disease/Stamina

5 Set Warlock
2 Pieces of Light Armor with Infused, Enchanted with Magicka
3 Pieces of Jewelry, Enchanted with Reduce Stamina Cost x2 and Stamina Recovery

2 Set Engine Guardian
2 Pieces of Medium Armor with Impenetrable, Enchanted with Stamina

Main Bar (Sword/Shield)

Draw Essence/Unstable Flame
Choking Talons
Flame Lash
Invasion
Reflective Plate
Ultimate: Ferocious Leap

Off Bar (Sword/Shield)

Igneous Shield
Cinder Storm/Caltrops
Harness Magicka
Immovable/Efficient Purge/Razor Armor
Green Dragon's Blood
Ultimate: Standard of Might

The reason I listed Razor Armor in my fourth slot for my off bar is because once 1.6 is out, that's probably the only change I'm going to make to my skill bars, maybe, not entirely sure, maybe replacing Standard of Might with either Shifting Standard, or Ice Comet. My armor I'll probably deconstruct and remake with different traits, all of my enchantments are purple thanks to my long-time friend and Altmer lover. The jewelry enchantments however, are gold, because they're the most important, now you may think this build lacks Spell Damage, and you're correct. 107 Spell Damage to be exact, because it's built to survive longer and only deal direct single target damage when Standard of Might is down, and the target is taking reduced heals, as well as being rooted from Talons, and snared from Cinder Storm/Caltrops.

What I have to love most about this build is it's ability to both DPS, and Tank, while not having to do anything but swap bars, if I want to tank, Invasion into the group of enemies, Draw Essence, swap bars, Cinder Storm, swap bars, Talons, Draw Essence, swap bars, Cinder Storm, swap bars, Draw Essence, Talons, Talons, Standard of Might, swap bars, Caltrops, swap bars, single down the weakest opponent with Flame Lash. Rinse. Repeat. Get AP.
