Hi! Can you tell me if my Nightblade is fine?
Level: 9

2 question: How can I be better at fighting? Sometimes I die to not so strong enemies, even for quests... I just spam R2 to kill them but they hit me a lot

3 question: Which skill line should I focus? Siphoning, fighters guild, heavy armor? Active or passive abilities?

Thanks

honestly, ive ask the same question as for #2,3 and people answers are all the same.. Try everything! and it actually works..
this game doesnt make you stick with one skill tree,nor weapon.. but my tip here is to put a skill on each tree in your hotkey bars so that, that every skill tree ( siphoning,assasin,etc) levels up and wont have to worry bout grinding to max each one later on..

im working to get this full build as i dont have all the morphs yet, i find this build alot fun and has good dps,damage. http://www.sypherpk.com/stamina-nb-1/

lastly if you just quest,do dungeons.. you can get better gears and wont have trouble during leveling.. ( prefer to dungeon for loots and quest for exp )

Try focusing your attributes, either choose to focus on Magicka or Stamina. Don't try to split your stats between Stamina and Magicka, as maximum attribute value affects damage of skills and abilities. You'll still need some modicum of Health to survive though. A good example of a good attribute split at Veteran Rank 14 (Max) is:

Magicka/Health/Stamina

42/20/0
OR
0/20/42

Also, in general, following someone else's build is a really bad idea, as it won't feel natural to you and you will not perform at your best. Experiment to see what works for you, don't just copy someone else's build as it may not work for your playstyle.

If you are interested in learning more about the Nightblade, I wrote a few guides on understanding the Nightblade. The links to the guides are in my signature. (Also there are guides on how to PvP)
