General Info
Nightblades sustain without stamina regen, so using blue food like [Braised Rabbit and Vegetables] works perfectly fine and is what I use.
For endgame, go with the Lover mundus. I have the champion points and armor set up to get right at the armor penetration cap in trials with the ideal setup to maximize dps potential.
For leveling up or pre-trial, i'd reccommend Serpent or Warrior since you don't have to worry about trying to get raid tier dps until you have everything.
I went with Imperial because it is the (in my opinion) best class to go for since it has max health and max stamina bonuses and reduces cost of all stamina skills. The second choice would be Nord for the sturdiness and resistance bonus.

Rotation?
This build is a bit old and the meta has changed dramatically. It might still work, but you might be better off looking for another setup. I’ve lost the rotation since I haven’t played in so long.
