Title. I made a Khajiit stamblade currently level 25 but I have doubts with it being good. I play solo ganking.

    Khajit has some good overall racial passives, the crit bonus could be better IMO.wood elf and bosmer are better for sustain. I think you'll be fine for burst/gank.

    Wood elf and khajit are your best for ganking. Imperial and redguard are both strong as well for more open field fighting.

    I'd like to believe that the other faction is scared of me, but in reality they're probably more like "F**k this guy."

    I don't really know if there is a definitive "best race" for being a stamina nightblade but I think Khajiit is a good choice, a lot of people like them because of their weapon critical passive which gives them bonus damage. However, as was said before their sustain is not as good as a Bosmer (highest stamina regeneration) or a Redguard (get stamina returned to them by damaging enemies in melee).

    Bosmer do get bonus damage from stealth which might be something to consider over khajiit looking at what you're wanting to do with the character, but khajiit get bonus damage all the time. Either way I don't think you've made a bad choice by any means khajiit are definitely up there.

    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    So....passives....

    Bosmer:

    Stealthy - increases damage from stealth reduces stealth radius
    Y'ffre's endurance - increases stamina regen
    Resist affliction - increases max stamina increases disease and poison resistance

    Khajit:

    Stealthy - increases damage from stealth and reduces stealth radius
    Carnage - increases weapon crit
    Robust constitution - increases health and stamina regen

    Redguard:

    Exhilaration - increases stamina regen
    Conditioning - increases max stamina
    Adrenaline rush - returns x amount of stamina upon melee hits

    Imperial:

    Tough - increases max health
    Conditioning - increases max stamina
    Red Diamond - returns x amount of health upon melee hits

    These are probably the best of the group, imho. Khajit make excellent stamina NB's.

    ^^^This. Been using my Redguard NB in open fields as a support/utility role for other parties and it's been working really swimmingly for me. The extra Stamina return with LA/HA on my bow is great too.

    I suggest sticking with your Khajiit NB. They are currently the highest pure damage potential for stamblades, and work very well for ganking setups. Bosmer, Imperial, and Redguard are all good options as well, but I see no good reason for you to change, when Khajiits work quite while in that type of build.

    What are the lizards good for?

    Tanking, apparently. That's the direction they now seem to want to go with them. They were originally a good choice for Nightblade, but they changed all that. I guess they make good sap tanks.

    Just waiting for a race change....

    With DB removing vet ranks there has never been a better time to level an alt. I just rolled a second templar for magicka as I was seriously regretting imperial magicka templar and was also waiting for race change.

    Mine is a DK healer, and I have zero complaints.

    There's more to consider than what happens after the swords start swinging. On my khajiit stamblade main I constantly close to about 1 to 2 meters from mobs, and have slipped right past other alliance players in the sewers.

    Khajiit. Is. Sneaky.

    And there's nothing worse for a sneak attack than not being able to achieve the 'sneak' part.
