    With at level weapons and around 3400 weapon damage it's just 3400/1.2 which is a bit over 2800 unbuffed. These are guesses based on memory - I don't have this build actually prepared on any character right now. This is using purple weapons.

    Ok.
    Let's see.
    Since you are looking for under lvl50 campaign, I guess some armors and gear are out of your reach yet.
    Not sure how much skills you have unlocked, too. Anyways, let me tell you what I would do.

    About race. Pick a race that has benefits to stamina, and ganking.
    Khajiit and Bosmer are ideal for this, simce they both have +10% damage done from stealth.
    Khajiit have more health recovery and carnage passive that adds critical chance. In your case, it will be up to 5%
    Bosmer have more stamina and stamina recovery, also receive less damage from falling and great poison and disease reduction, so I would pick Bosmer.

    I guess Redguard and Orsimer are not that bad, too, even Imperial. But Bosmer is superior in ganks.

    About weapons. As I said, ortodox version is 2h + bow.
    Both weapons should be sharpened. Since you play non vet campaign, do use 2h maul since it will ignore some of the armor enemies wear. Bow should have disease or poison damage. Maul should have weapon damage enchantment.

    About sets. Spriggan is overworld set that drops in Bangkorai. It gives you penetration, that is somewhat situational but maybe it works better in non veteran campaigns. Jewelry should be enchanted with weapon power, do it on at least 2 pieces.
    wear also 2 pieces of armor you find. Since you are ganker, you can use 2 large armor pieces with infused trait, rest should be impenetrable. Other set to combine with this one - go for crafted set. Clever alchemist will give you some health, some damage and spell damage and also great damage boost when you drink a potion for 15 seconds. If you dislike that, use hundings rage. Alchemist is 7 traits craftable set, Hundings is 6 traits one.

    Skills you would need to use.
    On 2h weapon bar, you need to have gap closer. Ambush is great one.
    You will need rally for some heals and major brutality buff that lasts pretty damn long.
    Executioner is your execute skill on this bar. If you dislike it, use surprise attack.
    A must have skill and best CC in NB's arsenal - Mass hysteria. remember to use it before using ultimate to be sure it hits enemy.
    Shadowy disguise is a cloak skill that will guarantee your next attack in 3 seconds from activation will be critical hit. Also, your basic mean of escape.
    Ultimate- incapacitating strike - major defile to enemy, next 6 seconds your attacks will deal 20% more damage to them.

    Bow bar.
    Must have is poison injection. This is your bow execute and it is best bow skill.
    Shuffle is medium armor skill that provides 20% evasion and it works against snares when you use it for a brief time.
    Relentless focus is your 15 or so seconds 8% damage buff. Self explanatory.
    Radiant magelight to give you might of the guild buff - 1st attack in next 5 seconds after activation will be 20% stronger.
    Focused aim - minor breach. Not bad to use as entry skill. Since you will apply major breach with another skill from 2h bar.
    Add to that all penetration you will get from spriggan and weapon, and any medium or light armor user will be completely debuffed.

    Food. Use either 3 stat food you can find or food that gives you health and stamina.

    I advise you to use mundus stone that provides stamina regeneration.

    Rotation. Buf rally, relentless focus, use radiant magelight and then shadowy disguise. Snipe enemy and then use poison injection. Change bar, use ambush, mass hysteria and then incap. After this, finish enemy with executioner or surprise attack, whatever you have slotted. Use block to animation cancel to speed it up. Teabag enemy if you like, I leave that to your sexual preferences.

    If by any chance this fails, do use shuffle and cloak. After that, use speed potion and gtfo asap. Something you attack ppl that are way too strong in health. Retreating is better than dying.

    You will need stamina potions and magicka potions. Also, speed potions.

    I guess that is it. Enjoy the game and good luck.

    So it doesnt matter where I have light armor or heavy armor?

    Tha
    2h/bow
    Sharpened maul/defending
    Decent poison/crusher enchantment

    5 hundings 3 ashen grip or nights silence
    5 medium 2 heavy
    5 impenetrable 2 infused, stamina enchants

    3 jewelry (reduce cost, recovery, or weapon damage).

    Serpent or warrior or thief Mundus
    Bistat drinks or food.

    Alliance stamina or health potions are fine.

    Ambush, fear, surprise attack, execute, rally (or grim focus) - incap strike
    Poison injection, cloak, vigor, shuffle, siphoning attacks or mark target - soul tether

    that's vague.
    What weapons do I need, traits and enchants? Do I want all heavy hundings and light ashen?
    What maul?
    What bow do I want?

    :)
    I thought I was specific

    Sharpened maul with poison; defending bow with crusher enchantment
    I prefer 5 medium hundings 2 heavy ashen or nights silence plus ashen or nights silence weapons
    Stamina enchants on armor.
    Terethea Magdalena, Breton Nightblade
    A Dark-Adapted Eye, Imperial Necromancer

    @Adenoma Does the magicka nb build still work?

    @Angi , I don't like this magNB for a dueling build. Right now I much prefer magDK or stamDK. DK is by far my best class and I think I'm still undefeated on magDK.

    @leem1988 , the magNB build is stronger now in nonvet. You get to toss impales all over. I am on my phone, but I would be running refreshing path on this too.

    Edited to say I'm PC/NA.

    @Adenoma What level was your magicka nb when you entered Cyrodiil? Mine is currently level 38, and I still need Mass Hysteria, and the Resto Ult. Do I really need these skills for the build to work?

    Nope. The build's a little outdated now because they changed the destro passives so you can't grind solely on the resto staff. You also need to run flame reach as your CC because it gives you the 8% boost to single target for having it slotted. That replaces the CC from mass hysteria. I'll be ready around level 28 for the one I'm making.
