Nightblade Assassin build...

LotusBladedancer · June 2015

I am new to the game and wanting to make a fun Nightblade assassin-type build mainly for pve (and some pvp in the future)

After browsing Youtube, I came across this video/build

Which a guy builds an assassin type, but not sure if the build is any good ... seems little or no aoe so would be easy meat for groups of enemies ..

How would you improve the build? Maybe add a bow for 2nd weapon for aoe damage?

All advice appreciated

Bar one is your assain type, I would make my second hotbar my range aoe or melee aoe depending on how you want to build your character.

I see this build is old (some of the morphs are now Stamina based) so I am thinking of making this a stamina build, but with shadow disguise still costing magica (the only magica skill on my bar) could I get away with using a stamina build and magica food/potions? or would I have to put some points in magica?

I would put some points into magika in case you change your mind later on.

Also, Shadowy disguise will take up a hell of a lot of magika :-(

Generally, you have a main damage resource and a utility resource. You dont have to dump points into magicka, just enchant your armor to whats needed. Dont go too much of a hybrid though, you'd want a good stamina pool for damage.
