Breton Assassin Build

I'd just like to say first and foremost, that this type of build most likely wouldn't be viable for any end-game type activity like Vet DGNs or Trials, and is basically a role-play build. (But I'm sure someone would say that Breton isn't a good choice for stam)

So with that out of the way, do you remember the Breton Assassin from the cinematic trailers when ESO first came out? Now that we have the costume for it, what would be an ideal set-up for the character? Obviously he looks to be wearing a light hood, with mostly medium armor, and his weapons are bow, and probably DW bc he used throwing daggers and that's a DW skill. Equipment-wise, I think I have it figured out, but skills are what I'm missing. So my question to you is; what skills, armor, and stat allocations would you give a new Breton from him to become that Cinematic version?

Being that this IS an Elder Scrolls game, remember that not everything is based around end-game. Some people just like to make characters to have fun and not to challenge leaderboards or trials.

    Honestly if you just get the costume, throw some end game gear on it, and give it a classic bow back bar, I could see this being partially viable in end game. @Hollery if you want help in game

    I might actually be possible to be a hybrid blade if you don't care about dealing max Deeeps.

    Dual wielding swords.. lots of magicka to cloak and fear more often than the standard stamblade. There are a bunch of hybrid sets to facilitate this.

    Bretons don't have magicka based damage bonus only max mag and mag regen.

    Hmmm, how would I go about becoming a hybrid build tho? Like what sets would I need? Shacklebreaker seems pretty nice for having a good supply of both Magicka and Stamina

    I think you're looking for a fairly standard DW/Bow stamina build with the costume. Even without the costume, there are some medium armor hoods out there. I haven't seen the trailers in forever, but I don't recall the breton hero being particularly magical

    Well I googled "ESO hybrid blade" and a bunch of options poped up.

    Well I was thinking
    http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Stygian+Set
    and
    http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Pelinal's+Aptitude+Set

    So you can play shadow mage but with stamina weapons.

    Shacklebreaker seems pretty good as well.

    Crafted sets are good as you can tailor to your style which is good.

    The best monster set for this is Molag Kena although there is the horns of the reach monster helm that is good aswell
