so the consensus is that stamina NBA is better than magicka NB...so for those of you in endgame...do you die a lot since nightblades are pretty much melee dps?

    Stamina NB is not better than magicka NB.
    They both Focus in differnet Things, and have ther own weakness.

    Playing stamina nightblade as dual wield and bow (range or mele depends what my group needs)
    also playing magicka nightblade with dual wield and fire staff (or even 2h + staff)
    ...on same character

    there's no 'better option', no 'one way' to 'play it right'
    you create your character accordingly to your skills (or at least you should)
    all options provide different ways for you to enjoy your play style more
    and also give the edge in one way or another
    your build adjusted well to your skills can be way better than 50 other so called 'golden builds'

    if you know your raid role, your skills and their effects you will pick what's best for you and your group
    ...not what 'YT gurus' say it's 'best' and 'most op'
    Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
    It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul

    Magicka NB has a high mobility and survivelity with the use of a restro staff and his leach skills.
    The combination of Shadows and Cloak is a anoing Thing to all meeles.
    Magicka lacks the brust from Stamina, but is harder to kill

    Stamina NB has the highest burst DMG over all classes. it can 2 hit with a bow near all Player in pvp.
    in combination with camo hunter it is the pure Terror to all Vampires out there. But be carefull if a dk wings the snipe back, it will onehit you. the dmg from closecombat skills is high, but dont forgett you have no deff if you face a DK in Closecombat and he survive your inital burst

    I actually feel like NB is the perfect counter to DK because we can cloak their dots, never have much trouble.

    In PVE stam NB is the king of AOE damage, and our burst is often useful. Magicka in general has better sustained single target, with DK on top. Stam temps are good at both.

    Magicka NB also has great healing and tanking utility, so does stamina actually but it's a long road to get vigor.

    I don't feel like I die more than other people in my groups as stam NB DD so long as I'm getting shards and the tank stays up.
