I noticed that you're running 2 shadow skills on the front bar, and only 1 on the back bar. Your health will change when you bar swap. Good build and info. Thanks 🙏
My main build right now is ranged magblade on Breton with fb orders wrath and bb wretched vitality with markyn mythic and 1piece trainee as well as archdruid monster set. Swallow Soul is in my opinion the best ranged spammable since it gives me a very decent hot and combining it with crushing weapon just feels broken. Also running concealed weapon on my bb for extra speed and oh boy am I fast. Balorgh is usually awesome and a no brainer for me but I'm not really using a reliable stun so I can't really count on my meteor hitting anyway. The only downside so far is that the only offensive ult that makes sense to use is the meteor ult and I dont like meteor. Altho when I time my spectral bow proc with a medium attack on an offbalanced target right before the meteor hits I can Instakill, it's just way to situational and way to reliant on the other players making mistakes. I guess if there would be a better ranged ult for magblade to use other than meteor I would definetly switch to Balorgh. It would definetly be stronger as a khajiit since I'm rocking 45,9% critrate with my crits doing double damage if there ain't no crit resistance (especially now during pvp event with so many players going pvp with pve gear. Cloak into spectral bow also onehits most non pvp players) but the 7% cost reduction on magskills as a Breton almost perfectly counters the extra cost I get because of being stage 3 vamp which is more important to me since I feel like damage is high enough already and if it ain't I can also often just outsustain the other players by spamming a little and forcing them to spamm heals until they run out of resources. I love woodelf for stambuilds and I think in pvp it works great for magbuilds as well since more stam and/or better stam sustain means more dodging and blocking. You get extra pen extra speed extra stam and a very decent amount of stam rec, so stam sustain on woodelf is almost never a problem. It's definetly my favourite race especially for stam builds. Sry for the long comment, great video tho. Quite detailed which I like.
The biggest reason to avoid the Bloodthirsty trait in PvP (no matter what class you're playing) is: if you can't break all the way through the target's damage shield (think Sorc here) and the first 10% of their health, Bloodthirsty gives you _literally nothing!_ And how often have you seen a fight come down to who gets out the most damage right from the start? Maybe because one combatant was relying on aid that wasn't there in time or maybe just out of good ole' fashioned panic from seeing their health drop so fast. Either way, it happens all the time.
Id argue its easier to take off the first 50% health than it is to finish off the last 50%. Bloodthirsty is not bad imo. I still prefer infused because of the big healing increase
Im confused to as why you dont have skill points in duel wield passive for the duel wield weapon enhance. And the skill points in the wrong passive in duel wield that require a "duel wield abilities" only ability
I was excited to run this but my only Tarnished 1H is swords and no jewelry oh naur just wanna be a cheeseblade rn lol (I've already played Shattered Fate nb but wanna be annoying >:]). Great build though, thanks! I like that it works for mag or stam. Before I get to farming BV, any thoughts on how scribing might affect this?
Dude, I got a question. I do PvE and PvP casually, so I'm not sure whether to morph Grim Focus into Merciless Resolve or Relentless Focus, same goes for Siphoning Strikes morphing into Siphoning Attacks or Leeching Strikes. What do you think I should go with?
i will never forget you how you started an another nightblade farm in whole eso, like therelequen farm back in the day. now every mf in tamriel doing this build. it changed nothing
So I am a mag made and following the GEAR to a tee. Obviously that stam enchant on the boots would be magicka. Will I still get similar or same results being mag?
Awesome build mate :) The only thing is i cannot choose the race for nightblade between khajiit and dark elf(can switch between mag and stam).. Would you say khajiit is safe the best pick by far? I dont know if the crt bonus will be do more damage than the weapon/spell damage bonus from dark elf 🤔 Whats your opinion?
I was a Dark Elf for many years on my NB, once I swapped to Khajiit I never looked back, Khajiit is hands down better imo better heals and crit damage The easiest way to test the difference is run The Apprentice/Warrior mundus and then swap to the Shadow and see how much more powerful Crit damage is
At first it was because of that, but I read this comment yesterday and tried the Weapon Damage enchant back bar on stream and it was definitely slapping, I might be a new staple on my builds now lol
Hey I’m running this build now but I’m stuck. I’m running everything you have but for some reason my max stats aren’t the same. My max magicka is 1k less, my health is over 1k less and, my stamina is almost 1k less. All of the recoveries are the same but I just can’t figure out what I’m missing
These videos always make me wonder some things. 1. How are they finding small scale PvP? 2. How is bow price never dodged? I only ever see massive ball groups, and MFs are rolling before they hit the ground from uncap stun
If I’m lucky I can find a fight where I don’t instantly get Zerged over after hours of gameplay, that’s the power editing only showing the highlights, 9/10 of my combos are rolled or cloaked so don’t assume I always get perfect fights
It’s so stupid how strong nb is, they’re oppressively strong in PvP. Meaning playing my stamplar is effectively nerfing myself because it’s the wrong class… if it doesn’t get nerfed I’ll be extremely pissed and just remain a nb main until it does
Guys, I have a lil question, don't know if anyone answer this, but does someone can tell me what sets can I use in pvp on my nightblade to be one bar and have some survivability and some damage in the same time? I'm not ganker, I just want to go in fight and not die in two seconds
What CP are you? Having low CP is a big factor, Rallying Cry is a great set for Damage and Tankiness, or Ancient Dragonguard It also just comes down to what you’re fighting, damage is insanely high rn and I myself with an extremely Tanky set can get shredded by Gankers Also PvP experience is a huge factor, playing more will definitely help, I started on Console against fully geared PC transfers that would destroy me in seconds, but slowly I got the hang of survivability and what combos to look out for or prepare for
@@Hexapug my cp 1600+, I'm crab at pvp but I trying again and again, and just seeking for help 😅 I played with two bars in the past, It was even before the oakensoul in game, but after that I started to play one bar because it's really easy, but the more I play, the more I understand that it seems that in serious pvp, one bar is really weaker
😂 Tbf I released the build the 1st week of its inception as a cautionary tale for ZoS, but 3 patches later they still haven’t nerfed it 🙃 I’ve used it once and never again
It’s because NightBlades inherently have more crit chance so it’s better to compliment that with Axes, as Axes typically does more damage than Maces it’s just the inconsistency of non crits, plus NightBlades have nearly 3k Pen in one of their passives to off set it
Yeah if you want, I would recommend Sharpened with either a Shock, Poison enchant or 2x DoT poisons, the damage would be ever so slightly lower compared to 2W
I've been enjoying using tarnished, so satisfying hearing it proc...be it from my templar doing a crescent sweep or my sorc streaking through a crowd, both leaving an explosion of damage in their wake!
Maces are really good so you should be completely fine if you don’t want to grind, it’s just Axes work best on NB if you’re trying to min/max even as a Khajiit
This video was really well done and insightful. Appreciate that.
I noticed that you're running 2 shadow skills on the front bar, and only 1 on the back bar. Your health will change when you bar swap. Good build and info. Thanks 🙏
Nothing better than a Hex build, even when it’s the cheese.
NOT TARNISHED YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE ANIKIN
Do you have a written summary of this somewhere please?

Make sure to put that 2004 trash techno intro music like its some faze clan recruitment vid in the start. It makes it so much better.
Never made a nightblade. This may make me. Thanks for the video.

If you're going for reduced skill cost like reduced magika on a dk its better to have x1 bloodthirsty imo
Im confused to as why you dont have skill points in duel wield passive for the duel wield weapon enhance. And the skill points in the wrong passive in duel wield that require a "duel wield abilities" only ability
is rallying cry proc swallow soul? never tried that variation before
No it shouldn’t, since the heal itself can’t crit, the heal is based off a % of the damage done where only the damage can crit but not the heal
I was excited to run this but my only Tarnished 1H is swords and no jewelry oh naur just wanna be a cheeseblade rn lol (I've already played Shattered Fate nb but wanna be annoying >:]). Great build though, thanks! I like that it works for mag or stam. Before I get to farming BV, any thoughts on how scribing might affect this?
would love a run down on your rotation
Do you by chance have this build on a web site?
Also. Is this build good for PvE?
Dude, I got a question. I do PvE and PvP casually, so I'm not sure whether to morph Grim Focus into Merciless Resolve or Relentless Focus, same goes for Siphoning Strikes morphing into Siphoning Attacks or Leeching Strikes. What do you think I should go with?
Go with merciless and siphoning. You can sit in stealth and exchange health for resources and heal after
i will never forget you how you started an another nightblade farm in whole eso, like therelequen farm back in the day. now every mf in tamriel doing this build. it changed nothing
So I am a mag made and following the GEAR to a tee. Obviously that stam enchant on the boots would be magicka. Will I still get similar or same results being mag?
Yes, the Mag variant will do more damage while the Stam variant does less damage but having better survivability being able to roll dodge spam better
Awesome build mate :)
The only thing is i cannot choose the race for nightblade between khajiit and dark elf(can switch between mag and stam).. Would you say khajiit is safe the best pick by far? I dont know if the crt bonus will be do more damage than the weapon/spell damage bonus from dark elf 🤔

@@Hexapug ok thanks mate that helped me alot! 😁
When it comes to nightblade class, always run khajit.
Why no Weapon Damage enchant on the back bar? Is it more important to have the sustain?
At first it was because of that, but I read this comment yesterday and tried the Weapon Damage enchant back bar on stream and it was definitely slapping, I might be a new staple on my builds now lol

@@Hexapug it was the undaunted skill line. Thank you
off topic but whats a good bleed build for stamden nowadays
Incap isn’t a PvE ulti, ZoS needs to outsource balance for this game
These videos always make me wonder some things.
1. How are they finding small scale PvP?
2. How is bow price never dodged?

I always run 6 Impen and 1 Reinforced on my Heavy Chest
It’s so stupid how strong nb is, they’re oppressively strong in PvP. Meaning playing my stamplar is effectively nerfing myself because it’s the wrong class… if it doesn’t get nerfed I’ll be extremely pissed and just remain a nb main until it does
My pve sorc is beating nb I really don't think they are op
Nightblade isnt op bro 💀
Its strong but the combo is hard to land
Templar and sorc both should be fine against most nightblades..
What is blud yappin about😂
can confirm tarnished is crazy on stamsorc
Where does the tarnished set drop sir?
It drops from the new dungeon Bedlam Veil
which armor styles u use?
You had me until the Markyn😢 not you, but for the life of me after opening 1000s of chest, I can't get the lead.
Try death dealers, these days its better to have the extra resources. Id go 2 bloodthirsty 1 infused
You in coldharbour? If yes try doing it on a toon you never use.
@yumuddah8735 actually I haven't. I'll give it a shot
@@bobbyescarciga2882 the lead comes from coldharbour chests
@bobbyescarciga2882 You can always run Death Dealer’s, it’s a very solid alternative of Wild Hunt if you’re feeling real spicy

@@Hexapug haha I know you slap even without it💯thanks for all the videos
would orders wrath still work instead of tarnished?
Order’s Wrath is very good! Just note we are in a heavy proc meta this patch so it’s a bit rough out in PvP rn
Bruh my Redguard NB hits hard
Wait rallycry stacks? How many times?
Rallying Cry doesn’t stack, I may have mis worded, I meant to say the more group members you affect with Rallying the more over power the group gets
@@Hexapug you didn’t misword it. I wasn’t paying enough attention
I have been waiting for you😈
Yessssssss
Why is axes bettet for nb then maces?
It’s because NightBlades inherently have more crit chance so it’s better to compliment that with Axes, as Axes typically does more damage than Maces it’s just the inconsistency of non crits, plus NightBlades have nearly 3k Pen in one of their passives to off set it
Can you run a 2h battle axe of tarnished?
Yeah if you want, I would recommend Sharpened with either a Shock, Poison enchant or 2x DoT poisons, the damage would be ever so slightly lower compared to 2W
@@Hexapug what trait for a 2h maul?
I would go Sharpened, but I’d highly recommend a Battle Axe over Maul for NightBlade imo
Swap vigor and syphoning for stronger heals
That is very true, but I prefer it on my defensive bar lol it’d be to weird for me
Yay more tarnished
ZOS gives us crap sets? People complain. ZOS gives us amazing sets like tarnished: people complain
@@rwmorris35its more of the fact that it was bugged making it stupid to play against.
I've been enjoying using tarnished, so satisfying hearing it proc...be it from my templar doing a crescent sweep or my sorc streaking through a crowd, both leaving an explosion of damage in their wake!
Oh i like it! Just said it since he didnt want to hear it! @rwmorris35
If i use axes, what trait do i use
Main hand Nirn and Off hand Sharpened
Does anyone know if the new torc mythic affects proc sets?
If you’re talking about the new mythic that nullifies all set bonuses, it does NOT affect proc sets
Are maces or axes better ????
For NightBlades specifically yes, the other classes Maces are better
@@Hexapug so shall I go with maces or axes for khajit nb I’ve only got maces
Maces are really good so you should be completely fine if you don’t want to grind, it’s just Axes work best on NB if you’re trying to min/max even as a Khajiit
@@Hexapug yeah man what’s better out the two though if I run axes il have no pen so maybe maces both sharp? What’s better out the 2?
@@Hexapug an both maces sharp yeah
Can a 2hand work?
Yeah, just run a 2H Axe or Maul with an Absorb Stam Enchant
suprise suprise what we running? its ähhhhh long break.. ah yes ralling cry its always ralling cry and why y make a big suprise about it?
COOL BEANNSSSS 🫡😎😎😎
Haha cool beans! 🫘
.... your builds are always just straight hot garbage in battlegrounds and a waste of time and gold. so disappointing.
First
"press this, use that, hit this ability, boop" TERRIBLE EXAMPLE!!!!!!
I’m just taking advice from some parts of the build. It does seem like it’s too much just to get 1 kill lol
I mean it’s a brawl blade not a gankblade
