This build is improved from my previous post from a few months ago. With simple gear changes and skill swaps, this build is easily playable is high end PvP and PvE.
Race:
As the title says, the character will be an Argonian for their Healing received buff and for more health, though an Altmer or Breton would work fine too.
Stats with food:
With V16 blue food, my character has 22k health, 35k magic, and 9k stamina. I also have 2,500 and 2,700 spell damage depending on which bar i am on, with 45 – 50% crit chance.
Gear:
I am currently using 5 piece Kagrenac’s, 3 piece Torug’s Pact, 3 piece Willpower (all enchanted with spell power), and 1 piece Molag Kena. I plan to switch out one of my Pact pieces for Kena helm if it ever drops for me.
Champion Points:
I have 300 cp and have arranged them in the following.
Thief:
91 to Arcanist, 9 to Tumbling
Warrior:
100 to Quick Recovery
Mage:
70 to Thaumaturge, 30 to Blessed.
Skills:
Bar 1: Resto Staff
U: Soul Tether – I use this for a decent leeching heal, and for decent damage and stun.
1: Shallow Soul – I rather have Funnel here but i am currently testing the healing output of Blessing of Restoration. Despite that, its a great skill with high damage and decent HoT.
2: Magicka Detonation – This skill is one of my favorites and has great damage. I am unsure of which morph to choose as i prefer range on this bar but like the instant cast of Proxy.
3: Mirage – this skill is use for the dodge chance and for boost to resistances.
4: Blessing of Restoration – Good healing, Area Heal, Group buff. Testing to see if this is better than Ward.
5: Shadow Image: I love this skill so much. Saved my hide so many times.
Bar 2: Dual Wield
U: Dawnbreaker – I wish i used this skill sooner. Though i would like advice on the morph i should pick.
1: Sap Essence – The nightblade’s version of Surge but way better and great AoE damage.
2: Concealed Weapon – Nice Damage, and Stun from Stealth.
3: Lotus Fan – Gap Closer, Dot, Snare. Good CC. Gets buff next patch, too.
4: Mass Hysteria – Enough said.
5: Dark Cloak – Great Escape Skill, Solo DoT Purge. This skill is the Bread, Butter, and the Cake of Nightblades. At least for now.
Situational:
Piercing Mark – Tired of fellow night blades getting away? This skill will solve all your problems and well as a nice debuff.
Purge – Cures everything from Marks to Curses. Nice skill. Personally don’t use. Imo its a liability.
Merciless Resolve – 8% damage increased in heaven.
Healing Ward – Good Heal when shield breaks but fr me it doesn’t heal me at all sometimes due to great lag and glitches.
Once more thank you for your interest in the build and I welcome any criticism.
