What this build offers is great magic based ranged and melee combat.

When you have to fight the enemy from distance, your main spammable will be Force Pulse (can be swapped to Swallow Soul if you need health ex. vMA).

is this build pve or pvp?
PvE
How about Medium Armor passives did you use any of them?
If you want to, use them. In my opinion as we’re magicka build, the benefit from the passives are very small, not worth the amount of skillpoints.
By the way, going to update the build for Morrowind patch soon.
Ok thanks.
By the way, loving the build!
Can this build stand a chance in pvp? I only have one character right now ando don’t want to constantly reset myour points and skills just for pvp xD. New to the game started like last friday.
Hey, well basically it depends how you want to PvP. As a solo PvP, this build is too glasscannon (meaning that it does high damage but dies too easily). But with a armor change and few CP tweaks it could be used quite same way as for now. Id recommend checking the CP tweaks from another build and switching your armor to ALL Heavy and use set like Julianos for damage and maybe Seducer for more sustain. Use abilities like Shadowy Disguise and Lotus Fan.
Now that Morrowind patch has dropped, the Champion Points has changed quite a lot so notice that too. I will be updating this build as soon as I can for Morrowind Patch.

Updated Build For Morrowind
On ps4 my latest version is 1.23 so i dont know if this is the morrowind patch pls help me
The morrowind patch drops on 6/6/2017 on both Xbox & PS4, use this build until that.
Ok thanks
wondering if twice born star + mother’s sorrow couldnt be interesting for a magicka nightblade due to the already higher crit rate and damage?
