Follow everystep and read carefully the abilities to understand each step and you'll get used to it in no time! This can work for PvE too.
Champion Point Tips
Spend all the points in stamina section (or add 7-10 points in health).It's your call.
I would really like a guide to tell me where to spend my skill points to make me a killing machine in pvp ?
It does
No it doesnt, it tell him where to spend champion points.
Hello. i really like this build, but i would like to know if it would be effective in level grinding aswell?
Finally a Nightblade stam build without gay heavy armor and 2h.
Looks like a build worth trying.
Best night blade build for DPS
How can you heal with this build?
You dont?
Being a little more accurate:
Killer’s blade heals you for 20% of your max health IF the target dies within 2 seconds of using it. Just spam it at low health enemies to ensure the kill.
But indeed, it’s no reliable heal. A damage nightblade’s job is to quickly get the kills without losing any health. Killer’s blade just allows you the get some health back so you return to safety or try to move on to another target.
If you really need a heal ability on a Stamina build like this, I’d swap retreating maneuver with Resolving Vigor (Assault skill), which gives you (and nearby allies) a nice heal over 5 seconds, instant cast and it doesn’t really cost that much stamina.
You can always switch out your rapid strikes (first ability) and put the heal on it
Can someone explain to me why werewolf is on here and how to use it? Thanks
You don’t need to use it. You don’t even need to morph it. It’s only there for its passive:
While slotted, gain 15% stamina regeneration.
You could slot something else, really, but your main hand’s ult only needs 50 ultimate and deals alot of damage, so that’s the only ult you really need to use.
Though I’ve chosen to morph to Incapacitating strike, rather than Soul harvest. This ult already has a very short cooldown and I preffer that 4.5 second stun over 10 ultimate that is gained in only a few extra seconds.
Could you also tell what enchants you used for you gear/weps? Sorry, new to the game and so far this skill set is the most fun to use. Just want to make sure I am maximizing the build!
How i take this assault skill? I’am new in the game.. and I lvl 48
How high I’d the weapon damage about
So I’m new to the game and I’m just wondering what passives should I be putting into? It doesn’t say anything on here about them. Also what pieces are Nightmother and what pieces are Night Silence?
Hello, I’ve tried out this skill build ( lvl 47 ) and , not taking gear into consideration, my dps was really low against templars or Dk’s. Any ideas how to improve dps against tanky targets with this build ?
Thinking to improve mobility and move around the target to apply rapid strikes constantly.
I ve also seen streamers play a similar skill build, and their surprise attack at champion rank 160 deals approx 7k damage, my lvl 47 nb deals only 5k, how do we get that base + 2k dmg? Is it armor buff?
All the best 🙂
Because the better gear they use and champion points
wouldn’t incapacitating strikes be more viable instead of soul harvest? 7 ultimate per kill is menial and I’d rather have the stun for pvp
Which Night Mother’s Set are you referring to: Night Mother’s Gaze or Night Mother’s Embrace?
And, what do you suggest for Weapon and Jewelry Sets?
I have started using this build and I find it quite useful. But why use shadowy diguise then ambush? I tried it and you don’t get the crit bonus from ambush, I found instead of ambush use surprise attack, you get the crit bonus aswell as the 4 sec stun.
night mothers gaze is the best choice here only because it reduces the targets resistance
Why rely on the heavy attack of nmg for the resist cut? Spriggan gives a permanent physical pen, soul harvest deals magic damage, incap deals physical/poison, and has the cc. The issues here that i see is that flying dagger pretty much lets everyone know youre there, vs buffing and stealth and getting your kill within seconds. the reason for ambush is that it comes with a cc already, whether its from stealth or not, it comes with a 20% dmg buff on next attack, and its a hard cc vs relying on surpise attack and having to be stealthed to get the cc. Ideal meta nb bar usage for maximum output would be ambush, incap strike, light attack dmg glyph proc, surprise attack, and then killers blade. Not having a heal in pvp is a definite build killer, even if your only heal is rally. Once dots are stacked on a squishy med armor nb youre pretty much toast unless you have some form of heal. Being vampire vs werewolf is another, you get a sneak bonus (which is crucial to any form of gankblade, because you get WAY more damage from an actual crouch, crit or not, vs cloaking, dont believe me? Just try it.) werewolf offers 15% stam recov, which if youre using relentless focus as a wood elf is really unnecessary, as vampire gives you 10% magic annnnd stam recovery on top of all the other perks. You might not be so resistant to fire, but as a gankblade youre trying to take as little dmg as possible as is. You want all points into stamina, as your max stamina is what makes attacks hit harder, not just your weapon damage. Damage stacks are ineffective unless you have a big pool to back it up, try using a max health food while fully buffed, check your damage numbers of your abilities, then use a max stam food instead, check numbers, and see the difference. Also, as a nb you shouldnt be hoping that theyre going to give you the chance to mull their health down with rapid strikes, a properly built nb will be able to execute the class abilities, and get the kill within seconds, then dissapear. Keep in mind you are in medium, so flurrying someone with high resist is going to cc you, and kill you in a heartbeat
I sorta get what you’re saying but can you explain it as if I were 5 lol I’m still a noob
shouldnt you use peircing mark
Hey. Can you give more info on your build. I’ve tried a few and I am not satisfied yet. Thx Ydjdhshau
I get your point with ambush and vamp assets. Does Khajit vs Dunmer make a big difference?
Saren
Hey, this build is really outdated. There are way better builds out there. And yes, khajiit does make a big difference.
I’m a bit confused, what do you mean put all champion points in to stamina? What about the Warrior and Mage points, where do they go?
No gay heavy armor
If this build is outdated, what would be an up to date version?
This build look like it sucks
what armor requires the night mother and night silence
You have a vishis ophedian ? What ring is strong power got mund
Rapid strikes… HONESTLY this was made by a noob.
A good build would be impregnable, troll king and Spriggans/senches bite
Rapid strikes is too easy to dodge use surprise attack and use injection for dot. Use relentless focus + shuffle for buffs with a wpn dmg pot (or use 2h/bow)
Soo what abt passives? I think it should go more in-depth for skills? Or am I just big noob?
You’re all trash and its cute, snipe
