Im currently stuck on the final quest , i cant make it through molag bals gauntlet without hitting the random AOE balls he through down , and if i die all the mobs re spawn and i have to do it over again , ive tried at least 30 times I have no gold left for reps and im a NB archer, any one have some wisdom to how they did this ?

Why do I envision this, when I see your title?

you need some life leech ability, use funnel life.

also, are you using 3rd person view? zoom all the way out and it helps seeing AoE areas on the ground.

I literally just vampire mist formed through the entire thing all the way up to Molag Bal. Didn't fight a thing, never stopped running except to click on walls/bridge.

I didn't need a health potion even for the fight as a siphon/2H nightblade. I mostly used Funnel Health, Sap Essence, Leeching Strikes and Silver Shards (very useful in ESO), and my Siphon Ultimate -- Soul Tether. I didn't use my 2H skills to save stamina...and I ran around a lot.

Also I have a magic heavy build for DPS while my gear is buffed with health. I used Stamina Potions, and my gear had both health and magic set bonus regen as well as total health buffs. I used the health-bonused Mundus Stone as well and happened to have the Alliance bonuses that day.

I consider myself a very average player. This may be a situation that is similar to Lyris Doppleganger where some Nightblades have struggled something awful; but in that case those with a bow fared better as some of the good siphoning skills aren't available.

I feel for people who can't get the boss down due to an otherwise good build.

Good Luck. I hope you find something that works out for you.

Light attacks only and do not stop running (Molag Bal is actually quite a bad judge of which direction you're going). Listen to the audible cues to know when the damage is coming, and be ready to combat roll if you make a bad call. Most importantly, don't give up. 30 isn't that bad.
