Tip on NB

ChildOfLight · September 2015

Hey guys, thinking of rerolling my ch. What about Imperial fullStam Nightblade with Bow and 2H -instead of DoubleWield- skill lines. I'd like some tips on this last point. Can 2H on NB work in PvP?

Yes.

Reeko · September 2015

No.

VaxtinTheWolf · September 2015

Possibly.

It's classified.

There are a lot of builds/guides out for Stamina Nightblades right now, if you check Tamriel Foundry they normally have good builds/guides to get you started. Then you can tweak from there for your own desire/take on it.

I tried DW, 2H, bow builds on NB and IMHO 2H/DW is the most efficient variant.

Sure. Sypher and Deltia have some decent builds and videos. Just Google or Youtube it.

I myself play a Stam NB since I play ESO (2 Months) and I love it. No need to change anything.

IMO 2H is a must on Stam NB due to Rally (Momentum Morph). 1) It provides a good heal which is something Stam NB's lack. 2) It allows you to get Major Brutality (20% increase Weapon Damage) for 33 seconds. This is invaluable in my opinion. And what makes it exceptional is you can buff it prior to entering combat without breaking stealth. This is awesome for both PVE and PVP. DW (Hidden Blade) and Siphoning (Sap Essence/Power Extraction) both give Major Brutality, however, the duration is shorter AND more importantly you need to hit the target first.

Your second bar is up to you. If you want to go all melee go DW. Steel Tornado is an awesome AoE for dungeons/grinding mobs.

I currently go 2H and Bow to have some ranged capabilities, and use Acid Spray as an AoE. Not as powerful as steel tornado, but I think the ability to do decent damage from range is worth the trade-off. Plus Poison Injection and Lethal Arrow put some powerful debuffs/DoTs on the target from range.

its a must on any stam char.

which is why I don't use one obviously. it's probably the same reason my stamblade is argonian

join the 21 million other nightblades....

It is a pretty standard build for a NB,
As Rally gives us a reasonable heal,

Now with vigour being more accessible i think there will be some changes to builds,

Oh and i forgot that 90% who have 2H run around spamming wrecking blow....

I've returned to DW & bow, all stamina, medium armour.
Does some nice fast damage once you reorganise the CP & Mundus...but gee one must play on their toes.
Also don't use cloak (excepting to sneak through delves in Craglorn looking for loot)...but I am talking solo Pve IC & Cyro here...I'm a Pvp noob.

It's soooooooooo very much easier with 2H, Rally, Brawler, with Piercing Mark, & cloak on the second bar...there's all the buffs you need in mobs...but jumping victim to victim with Reapers keeps me on my game.
When I start to die I know I've had enough vino rouge, & it's time for bed.
