I have been respecing a NB for months. i have finished the main story, fighters and mage guild story-lines. i have even done
the codwells silver almanac (working on gold). i have level 50 provisioner and alchemy. 50 and morfped all 3 NB skill lines. level 50
for duel-wield and bow (some progress in all other weapon skill lines 30+). playing on PS4. (mount at 60 speed, CC, and 7 into stam).

i'm at CP174 atm. gear is mob drop blue and purple. mudus thief. focus on spell/wep crit... 137 skill points.

with all this to work with i still can't find a build that has the ease of play like the Templar and sorcerer (both classes leveled in days
with ease mainly due to the massive killing they can do while questing).

i use food to boost health to 20k and have tried all points in stamina, magicka, and balanced. when i focus on stamina and duel/wield the
blades are fare and the bow is a bit better in kill speed. when i focus on magicka destr/rest staffs seems to be better but not much. in the
balanced setup it's just worthless slow killing. my wep/spell crit is around 50% and don't run out of stam and/or magicka for most encounters.

i have seen guys do massive damage with the cp600 NB, (all bis gear) so i am getting the feeling that NB is currently gimped and needs the
gear to function. Templar and Sorcerer just needs crit boosted and it's easy mode for encounters.

i pvp in other MMOs but have not even tried trials and pvp in ESO due to the NBs performance.

Help, i want to play NB but am stumped. i have read over tons of spec suggestions online for NB. i have noticed that most guides are dated 2014/15, which
i am now assuming are outdated. most help online stops in 2016, which is strange for an MMO that is as active as ESO.
