I love night blade because it fits the Dlc''s quite well.
Still working on my build.
noob too.

This guide is outdated but, the leveling (solo pve) guide is awesome imo.

Thank you Jeckll!

I swap out power extraction (drain power morph), for shrouded daggers (hidden blade morph).

Boss'''s melt with the bow ultimate also. but I use the poison morph because the ballista looks ridiculous.

Use flawless dawn breaker or incapacitating strikes ultimate on duel wield bar.

I have trouble finding fun to play solo builds also.
Not really interested in all this trial, vma, hooddoo rubbish. found I just have to try different things myself and use guides like this as a foundation only.

I'm not going to use end game Best dps builds, because they're not fun to play.
Was using shadowy disguise until I found out the crit chance is used up by dots. (plz fix)


My favorite abilities are -

Bow-

Reapers mark
Relentless focus
poison injection
endless hail
rearming trap
toxic barrage
Bombard/endless hail is an awesome combo if you do public dungeons solo.

duel wield daggers-
Ambush
surprise attack
Shrouded daggers
blood craze
killers blade
flawless dawnbreaker/incap strike

Have fun


P.S apologize for spelling errors, the keyboard i am using has gone full ***.

General advice for a beginner DPS:

1. Pick whether you wan to go stamina or magicka. Because physical damage scales with stamina and magic damage scales with max magicka, you ant to go one of the other for the simplest DPS build Hybrids are possible, but its a lot harder.

2. If you go stamina, pick a race with racial bonuses that benefit stamina. If you go magicka, pick a race with racial bonuses that benefit magicka. Note: race doesn't have a huge impact outside of top tier DPS tests, but it will make you life a little easier . However, if you want to play a particular race regardless of the "ideal", go for it.

3. Gear:
Stamina = Medium armor, Bow and probably Dual wield. Some DPS use two-handed, but that's more common in PVP.
Magicka - Light armor, Destro Staff
However, if may be wise to equip a piece of heavy light and medium armor as you level so that you train all three armor skill lines so that you have them if you want to change over later.

Skills: Once you have a class and stam/magicka picked out, you can look at some builds or ask on the forums what are good skills for soloing PVE. The only must-haves for any build are stamina - Endless Hail (this is the 2nd skill in the Bow line and it will be your main DOT for both early and late game, and magicka - Elemental Blockade, an early skill in the destro staff line and an important DOT.

Doing DPS: Specifics will vary based on your class and build, but generally you'll get better DPS by laying down your DOTs (damage over time) and then doing single target and AOE (area of effect) skills. So for example, my stam sorc casts Endless Hail and Poison Injection with her bow first because both are DOTs, letting the damage tick on the boss while she starts doing single target attacks. My Mag Sorc uses Elemental Blockade and Liquid Lightning in the same way, letting the DOT tick on enemies while she does other damaging skills. High DPS is a matter of learning and practicing a rotation of DOTs and single--target skills so that you constantly have multiple sources of damage from your skills hitting the enemy. If you have a guild with a training dummy, those can be really helpful for practicing your DPS and your rotation.
