I've been playing stamina nightblade for the past couple of days. It feels a lot different than my caster magicka NB build, but I'm liking the mobility and burst damage a lot. I'm making a build video and will release it to the community soon. Thanks for watching!

Skillfull man, skillfull. I wish I had the will to start recording my own ***:)

morvegil · April 2015

This is similar to my build. What gear are you using? Looks like you dumped all stats into Stamina?

ScruffyWhiskers · April 2015

Awesome video. Add me to the fan club. You are so zen when you are playing. That breath at the end makes me almost think you are human.

This is obviously a much more challenging class/build to play. I'm wondering if you could still do the whole talk and type while playing routine that I have seen with the dk and to some extent the magicka nb?

Blinxey. Let's see a video of your build. I'm really curious.

I wish it were no damage (we're working on that), but yes that's what they are talking about. We can absorb and mitigate enough to make them blow their load....then they are either looking up or running away. Teaser [snip]

You macro and animation cancel, no class or skill what so ever. Enjoy your hacking glory.

Sypher is obviously a skilled player who has a good knowledge of builds tho i agree about the animation cancelling and what does look like to me macro'ing(but who knows).
Pvp would be alot more competitive and in a healthier state if we had proper gcd's, the need to hit keys at a super fast rate or use macro's to do so takes most the skill out of the game and turns it into a button masher which keeps alot of pvp players i know away from ESO.
Impressive vid none the less and i only wish i cud nb like he does.

This is utter ignorance and completely false.

Animation canceling and/or attack weaving is part of the game. Learn it and use it. Now most good players do it without thinking.

Animation Cancel? Yes. Part of the game and allows for just a little more skill to be put into place while pvping (it isn't hard to learn and once you've been doing it for a while it becomes natural)

Macro? LOL.. No.

Juraigr · April 2015

People who don't animation cancel are completely stupid lol

On second thoughts carry on I need all the ap I can get

Sav72 · April 2015

Animation canceling was never intended to be part of the game. ZOS stated it.

Reason It is not fixed, (my opinion) your kind will pick up and leave.

There fore, Enjoy the title :

"No skill required"

Lol

Have a nice day.

LOL.. It's actually his "kind" that roll with the changes.

Honestly, it hasn't been fixed because ZOS doesn't know how.

Its only common sense to animation cancel as you can use more skills in a shorter time which i do myself(sadly), but that doesnt make it ok..well actually i guess it does because the devs cant/wont fix it so they claimed it as a feature.
In other pvp games of a similar type as ESO putting out many attacks in a single gcd would only be achievable by hacking, it would not be classed as skillful play which is one of the reasons ESO fails to impress for alot of ppl, its a button masher pvp experience.

It wasnt intended right but your opinion is wrong, they haven't fixed it because they would have to rewrite the whole combat code. Wouldnt surprise me that the devs who wrote the combat code got fired, im sure they didnt see combat turning out more like mortal combat or street fighter i use to play in the 90's then a regular mmo type combat.

Zos stated it wasn't intended but kept to keep the flow of combat and not lock you into animations.

No skill required is the title you're giving me for your shortcomings.

Good luck out there.

Interesting on skirmishes armor
I'm personally doing 5 shadow walker, 5 hundring, one blood spawn (stamina recovery)

Only wish I was imperial now on my nb to give me the ability to use drink over food

Poxheart · April 2015

The 2H bar is what I've been using on my NB for awhile now. Interesting armor choice. I've been using 5 hundings, 3 shadow walker, 3 air, 1 blood spawn.

Soulac · April 2015

I'd pay a lot to be Imperial..
It's such a pain to run around with 20k Health and Stamina..

olsborg · April 2015

Using drink over food is extremely fun, you get so sustainable.

Well it could be fixed pretty easily actually. Just put a 1 second GCD on every skill/action in the game. There you go, fixed. But it would seriously degrade the "Action Combat" feeling of the game at the same time.

Pick your poison.

I think this is the "standard" setup. Here are the trade-offs:

5hunding/3air/1bloodspawn/3shadow (requires dual-wield since it is 12 pieces)
3x Stam Regen
2x Stam
2x Weapon Crit
~470 Wpn dmg

5Skirmisher/3Ashen/3Shadow
~340 Wpn dmg + 400 dmg buff
2x Stam
1x Stam Regen
1x Wpn Crit
1x Health

Basically, Sypher trades sustain for the extra burst from skirmisher set

HeroOfNone · April 2015

I've taken to trying out the air set on my vampire khajiit DK after watching ya last week Sypher, unfortunately I don't have the werewolf stamina passives or the stealth to support it all the time. Still fun, when i'm not running into 30+ EP and DC guild groups late at night =3

You get higher weapon damage from 4-piece Morag Tong than 5-piece Hunding's Rage if you don't mind giving up the crit.

ThatNeonZebraAgain · April 2015

Thanks for the build video! Got some great inspiration.

Quick question: How do you manage dodge rolling in terms of key bindings? Do you use default double tap on WSAD or do you have it programmed to mouse buttons? Or something else?

I have it as my middle mouse button and disabled scrolling and and out to prevent accidental scrolling while pvping.

True, but I don't have the gold to spend getting the Morag Tong pieces. Also, I should revise my post, I wear 5 hundings/3 air/3 shadow walker. I dropped the blood spawn & use 2h/bow.

Iyas · April 2015

Please sypher pm me next time your item sets, so i can sell all the sets on the EU market. Its too funny too see how the price for skirmisher items exploded

everyone is looking for it

Nice setup but i need min. 3 nirnhoned pieces. So i play 5 hundings, 3 air, 3 shadow with drinks.
