This is one of the best breakdowns of how to Nightblade I have ever heard. My favorite class as well, and it turns most people off because it's tricky. It is so rewarding though, and worth the effort.
I built myself a one bar blood mage kinda build and I love it. With my setup, it's 4.5k wep/spell damage, 28k health 32k mag, 4.8k health recovery. Use it for IA all the time. Love it.
A full 8 out of 20 Toons in my roster are Nightblades. Nothing better than playing rogue classes in your RPGs. (Well, my main is a Magsorc, but …) Thanks for putting together this exhaustive guide! Eight years in, and you’ve taught me some new stuff about NBs. Just amazing!
Not a nightblade player, but video is playing though headphones while working for engagement. ALSO Though the major and minor buffs info was new to me!! Awesome!
I love my one bar blood mage khajit for IA. One of the most esthetically pleasing builds to play. I also saved up and brought full annihilarch's chosen style. That in heavy style mixed black and red 😊😊😮🎉
Yaaay finally my main class. I’ll love my NB through better and worse patches ❤ (btw. Cool fashion on the female character, mind sharing motifs and dyes?)
I am new to the game. The guide is really good and interesting, but I have some doubts. First, which build would I use for general world content, not dungeons? Also, as a new player, would this build be suitable for me? What do you recommend? This is my first MMO, and I'm stuck with this question. Regarding attributes, how should they be distributed? Also, should I focus on building my trash setup first or my main build? Thank you in advance for the guide!
Any class can be good even solo. Some notable mentions would be the templar and warden because they have a ton of healing and sustain abilities while also dealing lots of damage. Sorcerer/Necro are also good for having companions to act as tanks for you if you're going DPS. The NB is probably one of the harder few to solo just because it can lack substantial healing and doesn't have anything to aggro for you. Finally it focuses single target over AOE, so it can get overwhelmed. Not to say it's bad, I would just argue it's more challenging than Necro, Warden, Sorc, Temp, etc.
@@adolfocanul1 Ooof there aren't any great options here. I got some OK results in the last couple of patches with Crushing Shock but I think Elemental Weapon did best because it allowed me to use a Bow. Of course, you can stack up Stamina regen and use Lethal Arrow... but at that point you may as well make a Stamina build. You MIGHT be able to make Traveling Knife work (a version that costs Magicka) but I confess I haven't yet tested this on magblade. Sorry I couldn't give you a shorter (and better) answer! Good luck with it.
one of my favorite class, nb used to be good.. used to be. turn my magbalde into healblade in the last 2 patches i hope zos will buff nb in the next patches
How do your hands burn red like that? And no, i'm not talking about that grim focus red glow. I'm talking about the red fire. Is that like a part of your weapon appearance style? If it is then what is it called?
I've been thinking mine is broken lol. My crit only averages like 20k-50k tops but I'm also using oakensoul one bar, which is tricky cause I don't have enough skills to use while keeping stuff like leeching strikes to stay healed
I love my night blade character but compared to other classes I just don’t feel like it does the damage I want it to. If any body has tips on what skills they use that would be sweet!
How do you swap between a Boss and Trash build in a dungeon? I have seen addons for swapping skills fast but nothing as far as switching from say dagger/2H to dual staves...any tips would be greatly appreciated pls.
I wish I had a better gaming laptop or computer. My download speed or whatever sucks so I stick to my damn xbox lol. . I'm constantly seeing ppl using kahjit for nightblade I've gotta get on my shit.. it was between nb and sorcerer when I first started playing this year. I went sorc dark elf just bc that's what I've always gone with in games. . This game was just so overwhelming when I started . I'm nowhere near good enough to pvp yet. When I finally got to champion points I was excited as fuck. Lol but I cannot continue to level up any other toon and I've TRIED 😂 but NB IS LIKE EVERYTHING IVE EVER WANTED but I'm not well versed in the game yet like you or many others... I'm not utilizing everything like I should right now. I got lost early on and didn't do the game in order 😂. So with eso plus I'm ALL OVER the map ITS MESSY AS FUCK. . Yall mfrs are so damn smart. Watching these videos I really fucking wish I had started this game years ago with everyone else. I'm just rambling. ....... realized how stupid it was not to immediately start researching, craft leveling, and scribing as soon as I began the game. Now I have to also do the scribing. AND WTF IS ALL THE BADASS SHIT PPL GET FROM INFINITE ARCHIVE!?!?!? I tried that shit WAY BEFORE I hit champion points and thought I was good.. 😂😂😂 it scarred me for life I haven't been back AND I DESPERATELY WANT THE COOL SHIT
Yes it is. Wrecking Blow is the better morph for PvE since it grants Major Berserk. If you don't already have Major Berserk, this is great. But if your group is already getting it (e.g. from a Sorcerer) then it's wasted and the 2H spam falls behind. Just keep that in mind.
@@elderwiz3165 It's hard to play and you need to get every bit out of it to keep up, on the other hand you have a nearly brainless class as arca with which you can do good DPS much easier with far less personal effort.
Your site shows boss and trash builds but what about some solo builds too? Little things like that would really boost your sites views as there are a lot of people who play this game solo.
im using a mix of light and medium armor, what do you think is the best armor to use for healer? should i commit to all light for the magic recovery or getting the extra heals from medium?
Most Healers run 5-7 Light pieces, and most of the sets designed with Healers in mind are Light (Spell Power, Pillager’s, Jorvuld, Opportunist etc.). But so long as your healing tooltip values are nice and high and you can sustain, you can mix it up pretty much however you want. I’d steer clear of Heavy Armor though 😜

@@travismiller1491lit, what’s the build? Just the basics, sets and skills, if you don’t mind typing it all out lol
Was just watching a Necro one and thought "damn I wish there was a video like this on a nightblade" AND YOU JUST UPLOADED IT THANKS ❤
Amazing timing 🤩

Yaaay finally my main class. I’ll love my NB through better and worse patches ❤
(btw. Cool fashion on the female character, mind sharing motifs and dyes?)
Make blades great again
This is my favorite dps class and I feel like it's one zos struggles to work with
So many hits back to back patch.
They are already crazy OP.
@@elderwiz3165only in pvp, even then dk is king
Best guide, thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

Amazing, been waiting for this! I’m using the masters bow on the back bar, so in this case would you recommend surprise attack over rapid strikes?
As usual, Chefs Kiss content 👨🍳😘🤌♥️
Thank you
Ill always love my nbs. Also love the videos. Subbed
NBs for the win!!! Thanks for your comment 🤩
Of course !@@NinjaPulls
For magblade what would be a range span able besides swollow? It’s good but not as strong

@@NinjaPulls I also use bow. Best option
Nightblade was my first class but I had stopped using it because of skill issues, after 2 years gonna see if I’m good enough to learn it.
thanks for this! anychance you can shade that kahjiit's outfits/weapons?
Hey! It’s the Dremora Deceiver Duster costume with Balorgh weapons. Glad you liked it!
How do you get those stripes on your kajits head and body?
Thank you.
You're welcome!
one of my favorite class, nb used to be good.. used to be.
turn my magbalde into healblade in the last 2 patches i hope zos will buff nb in the next patches
NB is crazy strong dps.
@@elderwiz3165 i know, but they nerfed concealed weapon without reason and in raids, as single target dps is outperformed by templar and sorc.

Amazing! DO SORCERER NEXT PLEASE!
You are in luck! I am doing them alphabetically, so sorc is next
@@NinjaPulls Huzzah!
Well now I want to play a Nightblade. Btw, what's the drip?
I love my night blade character but compared to other classes I just don’t feel like it does the damage I want it to. If any body has tips on what skills they use that would be sweet!

The same addons like Wizards wardrobe swaps skills as well as gear 🤩
@@NinjaPulls Awesome! Thank you so much!
16:35 every other content creator who I have seen talk about Nightblade recommends against this as it slows your light attack weaving down.
In that case I'm glad I could set the record straight!
Bomb build nightblade❤

@@NinjaPulls kk ty for fast response
Try ur Nightblade with 8000 Weapondmg and 9000 Penetration. U will never change ur build 😊
The problem with NBs is the AOE dmg imo
No.
@@elderwiz3165yes. They have 0 cleave
Nightbalde pve needs a buff it fallen so far from the top. used to be the kind of dps
NB is super strong. Don't know where these comments are coming from.
