    As with all "Which class should I play?" threads, should be added to make one of each class and start mount training.

    Magicka nightblade. Better healing, more role options (you make a decent healer and tank in trials), better DPS.

    Yep. Magicka nightblade. You're damn near unkillable in PvE unless you do something REALLY stupid...

    NBs. Not doubt at least for sometime now. 15K extra dps than other class in PVE. Instant kill in PVP.

    Go magicka nightblade.

    I mained a magsorc since 2014 but have since relegated him to PVP only. If you want cruise control 50k dps then fire up the magblade.

    Why choose when you can be both?

    My magblade hits like a truck and is damn near unkillable. Solo's everything!

    Any flavor of NB will work for dps, but magicka NB edges out stamina NB currently.

    I would start with Sorc, it is much easier to play and pulls nearly the same DPS as Nightblade. Sorc is also better for solo, with the superior shields and pets. Make a magblade once you’ve mastered Sorc.

    I agree with Wrath to some extent, if you're a new player I'd say sorcerer is easier to play with whilst levelling and learning the game it's a much more forgiving class, however if you've played before and understand the game then go mag blade and slaughter everything.

    That's 2016.

    Now magblade has all the sorc survivability (see video above) plus about 7k higher DPS.

    Your options are...

    Stamina Nightblade - the classic assassin build, relies on mobility, sneak attacks and executes. Can be a bit difficult to master, but loads of fun, though perhaps not the most effective in PvE...

    Magicka Nightblade - easymode, just lifesteal your way to victory! These are -very- effective, tho a little boring since you will mostly be spamming the same skills over and over and over again. Still, a flexible base that can do well as healer or DPS and get you through any content once you get the hang of it... and with the added option of near-permanent invisibility if you aim to also do the TG and DB storylines, making those stealth missions a breeze.
    (also meshes very well with vampire if thats your aim, just sayin)

    Stamina Sorceror - aka "thunder priest", mixing physical offence with the occasional lightning buff and magical support skill, I found this option to be surprisingly effective, and interesting to play besides.

    Magicka Sorceror - gives you the choice between "magical artillery" caster or "summoner" for pet-play. Can be extremely effective, and surprisingly survivable thanks to shields and mobility skills (meaning, streak to escape). Not quite as easily handled as the magblade, but fun to play!

    Pick which one you think might suit you best. ;)
