Sorc. Of those choices, the Sorc. You're probably not going to be running vet trials (though it is possible) with one, they perform amazingly in dungeons.

There are a lot of ways to build them, but Nightblades are, primarily, a DPS class with a focus on stealth. The Sorc is a DPS class with a lot of survival options, which can come together to make them very beefy.

Just remember, when you do go to youtube to keep an eye on how old a build is. Because the internet is forever, you'll find builds that date back two or three years, and won't work anymore. Ideally you're looking for Dragon Bones era builds.

Sorc tanks can be really fun with dark deal, which is an amazing magicka dump.

However you can be a viable veteran NB tank too. In full heavy armor you can make good use of the shadow barrier passive.

IMO make your own build, dont look too much on youtube. You get a full attribute and a full skill reset scroll from levelling rewards anyway, so you can play around with it as much as you want and then reset to what you want.

I havent played around much with the revamped NB self damage-heal skills, but they are interesting.

Heck, you want to be original, play a frost staff tank with a sorc and petspam.

Need more info otherwise.. sorcs are ironically really good stamina characters, but anything is *viable*... both are good for solo PvP since they have good escape skills. I personally kinda detest pets, and you don´t need to use them as a sorcerer.

Game allows 8 characters, make one of each.

Alcast has his builds set up fairly easy to find, if anyone decides to go there. Each build is labeled for the update.

Edit for auto correct

If you dislike stealth, are interested in pets or find Bolt Escape to be the greatest skill in this game, go Sorc. Otherwise NB.
The latter simply allows for a lot more diversity in builds, roles and playstyles. And right now, it's generally stronger, too, but I wouldn't base my decision on that.

Sorc

Both are fun classes and both can tank really well. Don't expect to try and get into progression trial runs as basically all classes except DKs are *** for those high scores but you can definitely take them into vet content and have fun.

Also when it comes to tanking I don't think night lads have an class shields while sorcs do. I like the nightblade shadow vibe, at the same time the lightning look of sorcs are pretty sick as well.

I say go with both, lots of character slots to try them both out

Remember when leveling to just level as a DPS and work on leveling up heavy armour, sword and board and undaunted at the same time so when you get enough skills you can start tanking pre CP160.

That tempest island strategy is kind of outdated on how to handle stormfist. 20% back up a distance and hit him from afar. Far enough range and he does his aoe and barely hurts you.

Final boss only uses aoe if you are too close, it is not a one hit kill if you have enough magic resistance for it but know it will likely send you flying which can cause you to be in her range for her lunge attack. Get too far and she will do her lunge attack. There is a safe distance you can literally go side by side and avoid both of those attacks. Windstorms however increase in frequency the longer the battle drags on, windstorms are based on physical resistance, same with her lunge attacks.
I'm used to doing this dungeon and have done it 13 times vet solo. Even livestreamed it once as well.

Yes, but not everyone is that meticulous. I've seen plenty of people run afoul of old builds, trying to make things work that were removed ages ago. I've also been attacked, on these forums, over very old posts that were no longer true; the whole, "werewolves get permanent +15% stam regen," thing comes to mind. When the post was written it was true, when google found it years later, the bonus was tied to the ultimate.
