• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 13

Generic question, but I have to ask.

For PvP, should I be a MagNB or a StamNB? I know the answer is already stam, but I would like to know if being a magicka one can work in PvP. Obviously, everyone is getting tired of these crap stam proc builds. So i think the question should be how to make a magicka work. Though if I suck and all else fails, or I am killed way too many times/one-shot, I'll just go be a stam since I know almost certainly that they can at least kill quickly.

What skills and sets should I use for being a MNB? If I can help it, I'd like to have a pool that can regen very fast (I love shadow cloak/concealed) so I can stay invisible to enemies for long periods of time if need be. Should I focus on weapon skills at all, or just the magic ones since stam won't scale?

Being a magicka variant, I know for a fact that i'm not going to gang or one shot, but rather DoT and self-healing attacks. Which brings me to armor. Should I go light, med, or heavy? Medium really offers nothing to me except for the minor stealth aspects. Light is magicka, but I would die even more so than a regular stamNB. Heavy is a good choice, for self healing AKA swallow soul since they give buffs to heals received. Should I do a mix, and if so, what combination should I choose?

I just want to be in PvP knowing what I'm doing, playing it smart and tactical. It's apparent that it'd be harder to play in Cyro, but I like the magic aspects too much and would prefer to NOT waste my skills that I picked the class for (Most skills aren't used in stam, and the ones that are used aren't as powerful/useful as they could be..Take cloak for example.)

Anyways, I appreciate any advice given. Well..I have one request. DON'T post some video of a famous youtuber and their builds. I don't want to be a copy-cat, just need some guidance, thanks.

    Wait do you want to be a melee nightblade or ranged?
    Because in your post you started talking about concealed and ended talking about swallow soul.
    magicka nightblade melee is hard because you cant roll dodge as much as stam and cloack wont save you in a melee engagement.

    I think I will be both, since swallow soul is a must-have for self healing, and concealed weapon/melee range class skills are what I use most. Actually, so far I have seen that the only ranged class skills are the siphonings and impale execute. I thought they can't attack if you are invisible :/ If you're saying that cloak doesn't really save you in PvP, I'm just going to say screw it and go play a stamDK.

    Sorry but it's the truth. You're a prime example. If you're not going to be constructive, get the hell off of my thread.

    Do you want me to ask the mods to shut your comments down? Because that's what I am going to do. Get back on topic.

    Funny, OP. You sound like a salty little boy. How about you grow up and not sling insults and generalize an entire population with them.

    If you want help from the people who do pvp and know how to help you, I'd suggest being a bit more respectful. You can use this advice in your real life too. :)

    yes i'm a prime example of a decent human being that knows how to ask a question while respecting others

    which makes me unconstructive i suppose

    I'm through messing around. You're all focusing on one little sentence and not even reading the whole thing I bet. If you're not going to contribute, get off of the thread. I'm not salty at all, take one look and you'll see that most people at PvP do in fact insult others in other alliances or classes in which they think is inferior.
