Clever Alchemist and monster sets except Slimecraw and Chudan don't work in no-CP.Generic build for stam/mag NB:
For no-CP: Pariah+Clever alchemist/Damage set+monster set. Use Dark cloak morph.

To the OP: I highly recommend to run different setups in PVE and PVP. You will always be at an disadvantage if you want to do both content with the same setup.
Sorry I wasn't very clear - I want a Nightblade PVE build to run Imperial City, so with some tankiness to survive encounters with other players. I don't want to win PVP, but I don't want PVP to ruin my PVE.
Some build choices are obvious, like more impen than normal, enough magicka to spam invisibility. I'm gonna /lurk in my own thread to see if any consensus emerges, but thanks very much to everyone who has already given fantastic build advice.
I wonder if there is a way to be a bit more tanky so I can clear the bosses

Now remember, this can't withstand a beating, so if your ganking attempt fails, cloak away and find another target.

Hehe, for me this was fun to see.
I have a new stamblade khajiit which I have been grooming for pvp. I have been told over and over that dw/bow is a joke and cannot (should not) be used in any sort of serious way. So far, I have had good results with mine, even though she is not running fully optimized pvp sets since I am also still farming ones for pve trials--- which by necessity means certain only sets if she even gets a spot at all in that since stam builds are behind mag. But thanks for the info; this looks like a fun build to try for her pvp outings.

Thank you all, including the people who sent me private messages. Especially @Olen_Mikko for a really well edited build video that is exactly the PVE AND PVP build concept I wanted. The consensus seems to be for sets that buff max stats, best discussed by @Ippokrates - lot's of recommendations for penetrations sets like Stuhns or Spriggans... how much resistance do PVE mobs have in IC?
Stamina builds seem more popular here? I'd of thought magicka builds would have been easier due to spamming invisibility and increased sneak speed.
I've given myself a headache theory-crafting! I've googled every set suggested! ... I'm going to go and play a bit of imperial city with my unoptimised build to see what kills me the most, and I'll build from there.
