Hello.
Saw a lot NB with this setup. Is this for better survivability? I'm looking for more tanky setup.
Can someone give good link where I can read about it, or post here:)

    Well you get access to absorb magic/defensive posture with cloak...Think about that.

    I think snb offers great debuffs: fracture via ransack. maim vs heroic slash. defile via reverb.

    the problem is: nightblade already gets easy access to these same debuffs via surprise attack, shade, and incap.

    for that reason, it is hard to justify snb on a nightblade. a stam sorc however - that is where i'm looking to figure out a build.

    I run snb magblade and I have to say, it’s fun as heck. People get confused when they see an argonian running at them and then teleporting away with the shade. It’s quite effective against magsorcs and other nbs..not so good against magdks but that could just be a matter of slotting immovable pots to prevent the stun.
    My low level stamblade runs snb in bgs as well. IMO it pairs well with dw. I found my snb to be more of my buff/gap close bar with dw to be my damage bar but they both work nicely. Just gap close into heroic slash and then unload on them with twin slashes surprise attack spam. I feel as though it would be better to be a stamblade against a magdk rather than a magblade...(flappity flaps everywhere)
    There are people that do run it effectively though..this one time In cyro I saw a stamblade running snb/2h and he still hit like a truck.

    You just gave me flashbacks of a old video (not mine^^)

    It's old and outdated, but still amazed by his playstyle. :smiley:
