Just realized my NB build is a ganker one....

KozawahGaming · January 2016

Hi everyone, so I just realized the build I've been running is most effective as a ganker. I kinda realized this when I killed a fellow low Vet rank Blue attacking a Yellow keep in seconds but in a straight 1v1 I usually get stun locked by Templar Jabs or I run out of resources and then I'm killed quickly. I thought it was more of a 1v1 set build but apparently not. So I was wondering if I could get some tips or pointers on how to change this. I realize Nightblades should be the sneaky assassin, and I like that but I also wanna be better in a straight up fight. Here's what I'm running:

Race: Bosmer (Wood Elf)
Stone: The Theif
CP: 29/29/29
Vamp

Current Weapon Damage: 1789 (This will change once I can make V4 daggers/swords myself)
Weapon Critical: 45.4%
Max Magicka: 9259 0 points
Max Health: 25918 0 Points
Max Stamina: 24001 52 points

Magicka Recovery: 712
Health Recovery: 437
Stamina Recovery: 1090

Spell and Physical Resistance: 11939

The set I will be using starting tomorrow will be 5 Hundings and 3 Night Mothers. Jewlery: 3 pieces of Ravager set.

Current Build:
DW bar- Ambush- Surprise Attack- Steel Tornado- Mass Hysteria- Shuffle- Ult: Bat Swarm
Bow bar- Lethal Arrow- Venom Arrow- Free Slot (has Mist Form in it to level it)- Vigor- Shaddowy Disguise- Ult: Bats again

The burst I have been using is Lethal Arrow - Shaddowy Disguise- Ambush - Fear - Surprise Attack - Medium Attack - Surprise Attack - Steel Tornado.

Your stats are very low to be fair, should be 30k+ with 3k+ wpn dmg when battle leveled. You hardly have any regen should be atleast 2k, doesn't matter how much dmg you do if you don't have the stamina.

@leepalmer95 That's what I was thinking too, I'll definitely need to enchant the gear I make once my traits finish researching. I'll probably buy the ones from the Enchanter merchant in Cyrodiil or see if a guildie can. Since I don't have an enchanting character yet. So I'll need max stamina enchantments along with stamina recovery ones? I'm hoping the Hundings set can put me in the 2k+ range for weapon damage.

Is your gear white? Upgrade it to blue or purple and get blue or purple enchants. Start with that on the new gear and see what difference it makes.

Currently the gear is white only because I'm waiting on 3 pieces that are researching so I can get Hundings then I'll upgrade it all to purple. I don't have a lot of gold but I'll see if I can get some blue enchants and see if that helps! Does the skill bars look okay to you?

not really
* you are missing either Rally(2H) or flyingblade(DW) for major brutality (20% weapon dmg increasement) so either skip DW or bow for 2h on top of that rally is a nice burst heal too or slot flying blade and replace shuffle.
* you do not have grim focus for another 8% total dmg increasement
* your bar resulting in the most kills should have soul harvest for the additional ulti upon killing your opponent

Level up enchanting when you can. I break down all the trash dropped glyphs I loot on my alts for this and it doesn't take too long. Being able to do your own crafting really comes in handy.

Getting Hundings and upgrading to blue or purple will make a difference with battle leveling, along with grinding some CP.

As to your bars, you have to find what feels comfortable to you. I like Double Take over Shuffle for the speed buff, Soul Harvest for a single target ult, and Dark Cloak for the dot removal.

Blue gear should be enough, save your purple, replace an ult with soul harvest, i like dw but imo 2h is better and u kinda need rally heal, if you are ganking then run grim focus like he said but if not cloak will use most your magicka.

I like dual wield too. I really hope I can make it work if a couple of days pass and I don't feel a difference I'll switch to DW/2H just for Rally.

I forgot I'm slowly leveling up Enchanting on my Templar. So that will take some time but I got guildies who do enchanting plus the PvP enchanter merch. I just like Shuffle for the snare immunity. I seem to run into a lot of snares.

It's a lot easier to fix your set up once you're v16. There are too many things to take into consideration at this point to have a precise answer on what to fix

I assume so but I'm terrible at just focusing on one character. I bounce between my Nightblade, Templar and a level 4 Dragonknight I wanna make
