No offense, but I have some (hopefully constructive) criticism.

First, your build is the same as all other stamina NB builds. This includes the skills you use to your armor choices. There is nothing new here. You're just simply equipping what many would consider BiS gear. Nothing special. I stopped watching after ten minutes because I've seen this type of build tons of times before.

Second, if someone can follow your build and equip gold War Machine jewelry as you recommend, that person doesn't need an explanation of skills such as Leeching Strikes. Showing a build that showcases and recommends high-end, BiS armor but then also explains very simple skill mechanics just doesn't make much sense.

Videos like this one aren't really geared towards helping players put together a build. People that already have War Machine don't need your help putting together a build. They know how to do it already. Videos like this are really just a way of showing off gear and stats. If you really want to help folks put a good build together, create a video that starts out discussing easy to obtain gear, showcasing that gear and then discusses upgrades to that gear. This would give people who want to create and build a competitive NB a place to start with goals to reach.

Or come up with a build that's interesting and different, like a competitive 2-hander build, or a bow/bow build. Then I would watch more than 10 minutes.

I hope that I've relieved some of your concerns about the video. Be sure to hit like, and subscribe if you want to see more interesting, innovative builds, and other ESO related content!

First,

Could you link me where every other nb build is using Nirn-Infused Weapon traits? or link me this exact set up?

Skills are most like everyone else because its a stamina nightblade build PvE DPS. Things such as arrow spray don't make sense or rapid strikes so I guess everyone is pretty like minded that those are not good options or if they are using those they can look at this written or video guide and see a different playstyle.

There is nothing new here? Well Nothing game changing happened with this patch (gear or skill wise) besides weapon trait switching. People want a point a reference. What people consider bis is different than actually testing in real time raids and putting a guide.

Second,
If someone could follow my build that means they could do at least nhof which provides blue jewelry and armor and coffers give purple. Which if you look at it is very MINOR stat difference. Thus giving them the option to even run it to obtain the goal of gold.
I think you forget there are many different skill levels and playstyles in the game and some may not even know the recent changes to nightblade if they haven't been keeping up or playing nightblade at all.


Just because I post things that are competitive doesn't mean I am reluctant to help in discord/youtube comments etc etc.

Maybe my channel isn't focused on your wants and needs?
Maybe you are not my target audience ?

Reading your comments I can tell that you are focused from 1 point of view, a stamina nightblade pve player veteran (lol).

I have done Bow/2h vMA builds before.

So I have NO idea where you are coming from. I also did a T1 T2 T3 Series explaining what skills and what gear to use to progress. But people already knew that stuff and if they didn't they would just ask.

I think I have an idea what this Jakob guy looks like only watching less than 10 minutes of the video... I wonder what he could be thinking.

lmao
