Just used this last night to farm 28 sky shards in Cyrodill in about 5 hours. After almost 3 years, I will finally clear them out. And not one single death taken while farming. Pop out of stealth, grab the shard, mist, run, and then recloak. This build is a thing of beauty! Thanks for this, Xynode.
OMG Xynode is using Sithis on a build 😮 Everyone should have a character like this for utility. Also it's a lot of fun playing a bad dangerous vampire that creeps up on people. Love it
I never quite knew what to do with my khajiit stamblade that I've never mastered for either PvE or PvP. Threw this setup on and am having so much fun already! Vamp skill line is not high enough yet to get mist form or mesmerize but speedy sneak + shadowy disguise are unreal for escaping pesky guards. I am out of combat in mere seconds after a cut and run then I'm right back to pilfering. Thanks so much for this Xynode!
I hadn't played eso for over a year. I got sick of the raids and vet dungeons etc and was burned out so basically quit. but saw this build and thought looked fun so loaded back in. bought all the gear via guild stores quickly and had a stormfist head in bank that i use. all purple/blue gear, but no probs.but having been using this build last few days just doing the dark brotherhood/thieves guild stories and running all the new story dlc content since i left. its just so much fun and totally got me back into the game. sneaking around, sprinting fast and going invisible. basically sneak/sprinting past everything but tbh spamming bloodthirst gets me through the forced story fights when i need to! even ran a few normal dungeons no probs with it for the xp! great build cheers xynode, enjoying the game again, just story and casual, like when i first started played it
26:00 I think you accidentally mixed up the purpose of the "Piercing Gaze" champion point passive. This passive increases YOUR ABILITY to detect sneaking enemies -- it doesn't reduce the radius that enemies (like guards) detect you.
A very well done video yet again, Xynode, this build looks fun. Exciting, I have never really bothered with the Thieves Guild and Legerdemain skill lines in the past. Cheers man :)
I have something similar I'm working on. Using 5pc Night's Silence, 4pc Darloc Brae, and 3pc Night Terror. I wasn't aware of the skills of Vampire, so that skill line can replace Night's Silence set completely, leaving me space for Sithis. If I were to up to 5pc DB, I guess losing the stealth radius on NT wouldn't be too bad, given your demonstration. Thank you for this one! Great to see it in action.
Just found this guide while building one that looks almost exactly the same. :D I just use the shadow teleport guy, because I'm to lazy to level psijjic and concelled weapon for even more movespeed while sneaking as "spammable". Yes it still works with vampire passives. Love this playstyle this is what I needed to enjoy the overland questing even more.
Yo Xy! After got bored of pve years ago, and now with all cyro lags, i started to do dark brotherhood/ thives guild / ledgerman levelling on my nightblades, now on 2nd character.... exactly same setup :) 1 stamina done, now doing exact same setup on magicka... once tgis one done, will have 2 more nightblades to go🤣🤣🤣 i use darloc , sithis and 1 balorgh, with wild hunt... just cant run out juice lol... good that i see u do exact same :)

And Rock that ProFiTeeRiNG!! I From one Murderous, Pillaging, Pickpocketing, Attic Serial Murderer to Another... Epic! 👊
This is so late, but thank you for this build! It is so much fun to play my thief/murdering khajiit after a hard day at work. No one can see me at all!!!
Love the build and the support for out-of-end-game stuff! Is there a way to work this without being a vampire? It seems like the mist is the only big thing.
I have been making a Khajiit nightbalde thief and he isn't a vampire, but he can still be really effective at sneaking, vampire just make it better and faster is all.
Everything about the vampire is explained in the video. It's required for the BUILD. But if you want to play differently that's your call and the video probably is no use to you. movement speed while sneaking and sprinting into invisibility is vampire based. You can get sets that remove penalties but that's a waste of a full 5 piece set vs what we already have and you will get completely different results :)
This is just the video I needed to get back to ESO. (i got bored last time). Would you recommend this build to new player? And also is there a solo build I can combine with if I want to take break from thieving, just for questing, solo contents, and normal dungeon? Thanks in advance!
This seems like quite an interesting build. I'm really bad at PvP though. I understand I can get Vigor quite easily, but Support rank 7 for Revealing Flare? My base lvl 17 MagSorcerer gets insta-killed in Cyrodiil while doing a town quest..... I assume Ninja NB base lvl 13 will get killed just as easily as well... 🤔 Is there a good replacement for Revealing Flare? Thanks for the guide!
How about Dark Elf? And what can i do if i wanna go dungeons? switch armour for more dps? or do i have to crate a new character for dps? And last but not least, how can i get those armor/weapons if i dont have any dps character?
Have they created some form of new cooldown now in the deadlands patch? This build seems not to have the same stealth ability anymore. Before my stealth seemed to be seamless between the 'Shadowstrike' champion point and my 'Sithis' set. Now there seems to be a split second delay between the two, breaking you out of stealth and making you visible and vulnerable to attack now when the Shadowstrike passive kicks in... 😭
I love this , just found it , made a Khajiit NB for this very thing, I'm just at lvl 30 atm . Only bit that throws me is the PVP heal , is there anything else besides that ? I can't/won't/don't PVP cheers .
you get assault level 2 at level 10 just for entering cyrodiil and picking up the quest. For more alliance points just go to battlegrounds. All you have to do is show up, even if you lose you get points. It's guaranteed ;) This build is a finished product, what you do to get to it is up to you.
I've only done PVP on one character. I get most of my alliance points from the daily login rewards, usually once or twice a month, but in large amounts.
I made a second bar build with darloc and a diff 5 pc instead of sithis but everything else the same aside from 2 skills on front bar, im still a phenomenal murderer/thief but i can also do actual combat
Hello. Seems like this does not work on xbox? It deas not perform sneak attack move, just a yellow damage. Do i have to be high lvl for it to 1hit trash mobs or its nerfed?
If I use a armory slot..make this build and rack a bounty but later swap builds...will that bounty still show? Or come back when I switch to this build again?
This seems like a great guide But im brand new and want this as my first char because its gonna help me get money for my true pve-main So in what order do i pick skills? How do i get myself to level 50? Whats a Vampire? Never heard of Psijic either? Because its my first i got no Champion Points? Im assuming some interim build is needed to level up, move around zones, to get blue crystals and whatnot What about joining the thieves guild? Ive already found out its best not to try that at level 3 with only 5 lockpicks How about Scarlet Brotherhood? Necessary? Not so much? Not at all? I get that it really means this guide doesnt help me, but i honestly expected a "how to get to level 50 with enough skillpoints" section to what seems like a very complete(ish) guide Any advice?
So, just saw this today when looking at making a Kajiit/thief/nightblade/assasin, I see its 2021, how relevant is this in July of 2022, and specifically with update 35 coming ?
Still 100% relevant apart from mist form. Dump it, it was changed. Update 35 is not out yet, i don't want to lie to my audience and say what WILL happen when NO ONE knows yet, so will have to wait and see ;) But as of now, the build 100% functions apart from that ONE skill :)
@@xynodegaming Most excellent, thanks!! I think I will tweek it a bit and use bow and the oakensoul ring in place of the other mythic, along with Ember companion to do a bit of overland as well as delvs. - thoughts ?

perfect for running around imperial city and telvar farming small mobs
oh yes
Hehe I can imagine that
This looks like fun! I'll have to try it out.
Like the concept I'm surprised at the ease a khajit vampire does dark brotherhood
Hilarious build 🤣
Gonna need an other slot on the armory station for this 👍🏻
Totally love it my Man...
Thank you!!! I'm about to start playing for the first time, ESO is so different from Skyrim...
awesome build... really ressemble my vamp kajiit farmer build :) i would prolly use magma incarnate shoulder over bloodspawn... :)
You can turn this into a badass dps build
i have a dps nightblade already on the channel this is 100% not the point of this video on purpose ;)
2 years later, does the build still work properly? Ive just come back and this looks fun
works perfectly, Mist form is a little different but that won't make a difference to the build :)
I use Night Mother's Embrace and Fiord's Legacy for my thief build while also having a decent DPS (~40k+) in PvE.
That’s awesome 40k+ it’s enough to do everything in the game gg!
This is not for "dps" build. That much is explained in the first two mins of the video ;)
@@xynodegaming ik 😁
possible update on this?
Love the build and the support for out-of-end-game stuff! Is there a way to work this without being a vampire? It seems like the mist is the only big thing.
Its not just that... the sneak passive helps a tonn, though u can defo do it without it

Can this setup be used for pvp assassin style?
Bro I fucking love ur content
Thank you!
Thx this build is alot of fun.
Two questions:
1) Have you made a viking-style, Nord Dragonknight build?
2) what is the Mundus Stone for this build?
This is just the video I needed to get back to ESO. (i got bored last time). Would you recommend this build to new player? And also is there a solo build I can combine with if I want to take break from thieving, just for questing, solo contents, and normal dungeon? Thanks in advance!
I just want to get the sacraments achievements!! Thank you!
I’m using this for that heist bs in the thieves guild quests tysm
Interesting... perhaps it's time i dust off my stamblade
So i need to level a nightblade now… what crafted armor with training should i wear while leveling…
hey xynode, i love ur tutorials and insight, but id love an updated stamblade build specifically for trials and dungeons. keep up the good work though
"Sting" the stamblade build is updated on the website :)
This seems like quite an interesting build. I'm really bad at PvP though. I understand I can get Vigor quite easily, but Support rank 7 for Revealing Flare?

Very nice, repurposing my NB now... and subbed
I wonder how the one bar ring will do on this build

I've only done PVP on one character. I get most of my alliance points from the daily login rewards, usually once or twice a month, but in large amounts.
This i very late but what ability would you use instead of mist?
Now player here, can i use this skill lvling and for all soloing things, lile dungeons and so on? Or maybe this is fpr when u done it all already?
Does this achieve 200% movespeed without sprinting? I thought you needed Concealed Weapon for Minor Expedition for that.
I made a second bar build with darloc and a diff 5 pc instead of sithis but everything else the same aside from 2 skills on front bar, im still a phenomenal murderer/thief but i can also do actual combat
Is this still viable today? I just got into ESO and would like to build towards the perma stealth one-tap build.
Perfectly viable. Mist form changed sl that's not the same but the rest is solid

I guess this build is somewhat broken now that elusive mist has changed. no longer does is reduce damage by 75% and only effects PLAYER damage.
is it good in pvp?

no
