Work on your fighters guild passives and skills. Same for Undaunted passives.

From what i gathered your not in the vet ranks yet so don't worry to i much on your stamina regen yet. It will come in time. Especially once you start getting Champion Points.

Here is a good starting setup i used to level.

DW bar:
Surprise Attack
Ambush
Killers Blade or Mass Hysteria
Dark Cloak
Steel Tornado

Ultimate: Soul Harvest or Flawless Dawnbreaker

Bow bar:
Evil Hunter
Relentless Focus
Lethal Arrow
Poison Injection
Double Take or Volley for more aoe dmg

Ultimate: Soul Tether or Ice Comet

Keep focus and hunter up at all times. Ambush then cloak into surprise. Attack weave surprise until 25% then spam killers blade. For multiple mobs start with volley then ambush into steel tornado. Or Ambush into mass hysteria then pick off targets one by one. For bosses keep poison injection on them. If they cant be cc'd switch out mass hysteria/volley for magnum shot and try to get double take and just kite them with your bow.


This is just to help get you started. As for gear try crafting 5 peice Hundings Rage with 4 pece Ashen Grip. Use whatever rings and necklace you can find with stmina on them and try to get reduced cost glyphs. Good Luck! Hope this helps!

can anyone show me their build? im finding myself left with alot of extra skill points, dont know where to put them honestly ( yes all passives is unlock ) My main weap set right now is dual + bow

maybe when i reach vet rank ill try 2h..

i find that siphoning early level skills are useless ( except for the skill that restores stam every hit ) so im really limited to dealing quite quick/high dmg ( dual wield tree ) Useless as in not much of dmg dealing trait.


also how do i get high stam regen? im redguard nb, and finding that the only 2 skills i use constantly to do damage ( whirlwind ) kills my stam real fast before they even die..

i feel like low lvl nb sucks as to other classes, but im looking forward to spending more time with this class since i like its traits to pvp ( fear,stun,cloak )

lastly, do i really need lore books? i dont plan on being magicka nb for quite some time anyways..

Okay I'm a stam blade, there are a few things to take note on how to do well.

1) get outfitter and wykkd macros, the skill swap and gear swap there 2 things which are super important
2) get fighters guild and makes guild ASAP, meteor is one sick skill which is a must have and flawless dawn breaker is a must have skill for bow (since bow dmg < then other weaps)
3) wear a mix of gear, 5 medium 1 heavy 1 light, so that you can use undaunted mettle and get most bonuses for the armor skill lines less than those that need 5 pc of light or heavy to be equipped.

I myself have 4 macros for the game
-pve dual weild
-pve bow
-pvp dual weild
-pvp bow

PvE dual weild

Bar 1 (single target)

Ambush, blood craze, surprise attack, killers blade and camp hunter and death stroke

Bar 2 (utility and AoE)

Siphon attacks, merciless resolve, power extraction, steel tornado, resolving vigor and shooting star

PvE bow

Bar 1 (single target)

Ambush, poison injection, lethal arrow, killers blade, camo hunter and flawless dawn breaker

Bar 2 (utility and aoe)

Same as pve dual weild aoe

PvP dual weild

Bar 1

Ambush, flexible slot (I use merciless resolve), surprise attack, killers blade, camo hunter and death stroke

Bar 2 (utility and escape)

Resolving vigor, dark cloak (the one that removes dot), double take, mass hysteria, immovable brute

PvP bow

Bar 1 (single targer)

Ambush, poison injection, lethal arrow, killers blade, camo hunter and flawless dawnbreaker

Bar 2 (utility and escape)

Same as bar 2 of pvp dual weild

I recently started a stamina nightblade, and im finding it alot of fun. Sure you gotta learn how to play it, but thats also part of the fun. I mainly pvp with it. Its a single target focus assassin build.

This is a build I have most of the time, and his stats is in the pic.

1. 2 handed bar: Ambush, Vigor, Fear, Surpriseatk, Rally - Soul Harvest.
2. Bow bar: Relentlessfocus, Shuffle, CamHunter, Mark, Cloak - Bolstering Darkness/Soul Tether

Hope it helps, its alot of fun.

Nice stats. You using drinks? @olsborg

Im using v15 blue drinks yes.

I'm not going to lie. I hated being a stamina Nightblade. I enjoy magicka Nightblade a lot more because most people know how to handle a stamina Nightblade, use cc until their stamina is gone and pop shields in the mean time. The only time I could easily kill someone is if I got the drop on them. As a magicka Nightblade I have more survivability because of siphons and i am less dependent on rolling and blocking not draining my ability to kill someone. However, this is my opinion and there are ways to kill anyone.

I use swallow sould in my stam NB anyway and it helps me a lot to survive or put pressure in the enemy

is 2h more of burst dmg than dual wield?

is there any real perk pros and cons between wood elves and redguard? im interested in dealing good damage, maybe stun locking someone to death

For pvp you should look into sword and board. Puncture is cheap, low slash snares and reduces damage, and reverberating bash drops their healing 40% and stuns. 3 skills in the same tree that cripples any player. I see a lot of people running sword and board lately in pvp.

Down side is you will need power extraction to get your buff
