Go to the main city I believe you can respec there, at least that's what people are saying in /zone.

Just switch to using bow, and you'll be able to catch up in no time, not to mention it's just easier overall.
I highly recommend you respec early if you wish to change, because it's 100g for each skill point.

Oh, Oh OK. Still tired

It depends to be honest.

Are you using a mix of light medium and heavy armor putting points in the passives?
Are you using healing, stamina and magicka potions in battle?
Are you enchanting your armor and weapons?
Are us using a food buff while in battle?
How many points have you put into health and stamina?
Are you blocking and dodging while in combat?
Are you using the siphoning line for healing?

These things make quite a difference in combat. If you are doing all these thing then maybe go to a lower leveled area and practice. Or just level up your bow, start putting points in stamina and magicka depending on what your skills need, and your character will round itself out soon enough.
But no you don't have to make a new character.

i know i can respec but i think i didnt ask clearly enough. is it easier with the bow for mobs/dungeons or do i really have make a new char ?

I have a DW character and one that just uses whatever weapon it gets but DW right now, and no I don't have that problem BUT:

- I wear 5/2 heavy/medium
- I have unlocked the first 2 passives for heavy and medium armor
- on my NB I use practically only the siphoning tree, I never run out of health
- I morphed the first (or second can't remember now) DW skill, so now it gives me some health back when it expires
- block, block,dodge and block

ah and use food, especially drinks that give you regen

I have a nightblade witih dual wield and bow. I actually find I do a lot more damage with dual wield but bow is better for boss fights. Some boss fights I switch during the fight.

If you have twin slashes morphed to heal you on the bleed, and strife from siphoning you get a good chunk healing with the right passives/morphs. I tend to use bow for tough fights when I need to kite and move around. I use it a lot on anchors and in dungeons. I switch to dual wield if I need more healing and you can put twin slashes morphed to heal and strife on. When I am attacking groups I used teleport strike morphed to do damage to 2 other mobs then whirlwind morhped for the larger attack area and can tear through groups of up to 5. I have only put a couple points in to magika and health all the rest in stamina. Whirlwind takes a lot of stamina.

This is what I have, and I can usually take out a group of 4 that are 3-4 levels above me decently.

Put only about a quarter of your attribute points into health, and the rest pure stamina. Stamina is what determines your damage with dual wielding and bow use. Every so often, throw a point into magika when you're overcharged on it.

Don't use dagger/dagger, no matter how much you want to. Until your dual weilding level is somewhere around the 40s, you do not gain the bonuses for the different types of weapons (Axe does bleed. dagger gets extra crit, mace deals more damage against armored foes. Sword gets bonus damage against all enemy types.) Use whichever 1-handed weapon does the most damage.

Don't bother with stealth. There is nothing really good to come out of it in PvE that I've seen, and even in PvP it is rather limited (just my opinion)

If you got the gold, buy enchantments for your armor and weapons. I recommend something along the lines of max to health for your jacket and pants, and max to stamina for the rest of your items. The weapons can be any damage add you want.

The rest is just skill based, and you can do whatever you feel comfortable with. I currently use the following:

1. Teleport Strike/Ambush
2. Assassin's blade/Killer's Blade
3. Twin Slashes/Blood Craze
4. Whirlwind/Whirling Blades
5. Silver Bolts/Silver Shards (Extremely useful when you are fighting larger groups of undead or Daedric, as it keeps knocking them down, buying you more time to attack other targets.


The others are mainly armor and weapon passives that increase damage and resistance, you should be able to pick the ones you want from it.

Again, this is just what I use, and it works fine. Does a great amount of damage, and keeps me alive enough to do what I need to against a great number of enemies.

what would be a good character with large aoes for pve ? because i will probably just make a new character. i have seen some dragonknights just bombrush the winhelm hall of the dead dungeon while i was struggling with my nb

Nothing better than using a Dragonknight's chain attack on top of a wall to bring enemies up to you while your friend roots him in place. Lots of laughs.

I went full healing setup. Heavy x5, light x1 med x1 to level all armors. All skills morphed to funnel health back to me. Siphoning, blood craze, ambush, shadow path, invisibility with 1 negative purge. Ultimate from shadow tree morphed for aoe dmg/healing.
At lvl 14 I'm facerolling lvl 20 3x packs in Stormhaven. Im having problems when I will missmanage resources because 6 levels higher leaves little room for error, you screw up and you are dead in a moment, but I'm always starting with stealth ambush, this with 30% extra dmg, plus siphon makes forst target almost dead, then blood craze and reacting to what is happening... I have collected all skyshards from starter islands and glenumbra though. I will have more evil dps and utility skills on pther bar once I get 2nd weapon, only 1 skill for bow tp level it, rest will be things like, immovable, entropy, haste, elude, siphoning strikes, will mix it all upto see how it wil come together and what to leave and throw out, will still use DW weapons on both bars I think.
I think you could have gone too deep into damage skills with little utility/resource manaent.
I'm going 2x magica 1x hp, nothing into stamina. Food for max magica, itemising for life regen+max hp. Argonian monster in heavy armor with sick hp regen

DK would be my preferred option for AoE. After checking out each class for a while when I started, they also seem to be the most straightforward/don't have to think about your build while leveling.
