    No, it is not a troll post. Lvl 41 now, and changes I made are for good. My Khajiit is good enough. I'm able to kill a delve boss without any problems. Next challenge is solo public dungeons. But I will try that only after leveling to max and putting on the proper gear.

    go to www.alcasthq.com he have very helpfull guide's and tips

    Just don't take the builds as your only option. Alcast has very specific range of builds he's chasing, which he then adjusts for each class. It's easy to look at his builds and think that there's no variety at endgame, which simply isn't the case.

    I returned to the game recently after 6 or so months absence. I decided to level up my Khajiit StamNB during the event. He is lvl 40 now, 650+ CPs invested properly, blue gear: Night Mother's Gaze and Hunding Rage. Purple glyphs on all pieces. Blue jewellery. Purple food. Skill lines maxed: Assasination, Medium Armor. Dual Wield 40+. All possible passives are active, including Fighter's Guild (it is lvl 7).

    Now, the outcome. I tried front bar for now, daggers. And 3 crocodiles in Shadowfen killed me. I tried to fighta single bandit on Vvardenfell, and I had to use all the skills to kill him. It seems to be a sick joke.

    Is there any sence to keep leveling him? I pay for Skyreach runs, and it seems to be a waste of money. My Khajiit is not good even for killing 3 crocodiles. I didn't maxed the bow yet - maybe the bow will change the situation? Anyway, I don't want to mess with 2 bars rotation to kill ONE bandit...
    Some forum posters replies are like, your level and CP are too low. Have you watched a guide or L2P. Lol!

    Op, just reach level 50 and equip purple gear. Then do questing. Go farm exp from zombies in Greenshade, easy source of exp gains and their is a quest giver that will heal at time.

    Once, you reach lvl 50. See alcast build for PvE then learn the rotation that suit stamblade.
    I for one, am not that impressed with stamblade but the Magblade are a different story, they are unique to stambuilds and enjoyable.

    My stam NB bosmer bow/dual weild is plenty stronk enough, only using slime claw, hundigs and spriggans, crit is around 63% and dmg 3K (600is CP)

    My stam NB khajit (bow/2hd) set's are for speed and stam regen, lower dmg by far but again no problems.

    Not sure what you are doing, but it aint right. If I ran upon 3 crocs overland, I'd come out wearing a new pair of loafers acting as if nothing had happened.

    If you need a hand with your build, happy to try and assist.
    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

    The trick is to understand your Class.
    1. Nightblades are designed for Single Target damage in melee - the Assassin archetype.
    2. The game's overland is designed around Mob packs.
    So, of course you are going to struggle while questing , as killing mobs one by one is tedious and exposes you to receive a lot of damage from the mobs not being focused.

    The solution:
    Find AOE skills outside your Class.
    A one bar rotation that nukes all trash packs for any Stam character would be:
    - DW: Shrouded Daggers (morph of hidden blade) > Steel Tornado spam (2 should be more than enough) - add one self heal and Bloodthirst (Heal flurry morph) for ST + a buff of your choice (i like Evil Hunter from Fighter's guild for the increase in crit and minor bersek and to save on pots + FG passives)
    - Two Handers: Brawler(carve morph) > Reverse Slice (morph of Executioner for APE execute) - Buff with Rally . add a self heal like Vigor if needed, Evil Hunter again or ST with Wrecking Blow
    - Bow: Endless Hail, Acid Spray, anything that gives you Major Brutality, Vigor, Evil Hunter (overall bow is less effective but at least it's ranged)

    Mix and match some of the above, you can have a Single Target bar for Boss fights, and a AOE bar for Mob packs.

    What I would do:
    - a ST bar with mostly NB skills, to give you the identity of the class with one spammable and mostly buff abilities.
    - an AOE bar filled with weapon abilities.

    Easy to use as you will only need to do some bar swaps on Bosses + adds extensive fights

    This is a good point but in general you are better off killing the multiple mobs one by one and fast, than damaging them all together, but slowly. The dead mob does not harm you but the mob with 1 hitpoint left can still (strangely) do full damage.

    Not sure what you are doing op but with 600+cp you should be melting overland trash.

    Guys, thank you all! My Khajiit feels pretty fine now, I did changes as proposed, and he's questing just fine
