2H/Bow Redguard Nightblade

This build functions well for leveling through vet ranks, soloing, group play in PVE and PVP. 2H is utilized for 3 or more AOE fighting while the bow is setup for single target encounters. Armor is 5M/2H to take advantage of stam regen and stealth abilities with medium armor while adding some survivability with a couple of heavy armor pieces.

Each skill bar has a swing ability that can be swapped out depending on encounter. The Rally ability can be swapped out for more healing with Refreshing Path or even Silver Shards if more AOE dps is required. Likewise Swallow Soul can be swapped out on the Bow skill bar with Bombard for more control, especially nice in PVP or Silver Shards for those daedra encounters.

Flawless Dawnbreaker is really a key Ultimate for both bars because of the passive weapon damage. The 2H is mostly based on control and survivability with 3 or more targets so white damage needs to be high and that is achieved with the passives from Flawless Dawnbreaker, Power Extraction and Rally. In the Bow skill set, the Flawless Dawnbreaker passive weapon damage offsets the loss when Leeching Strikes is engaged. Leeching Strikes makes solo boss encounters so much easier. You can literally leave that turned on and wear a boss down while you heal yourself and regen stam and magika throughout the entire encounter. Switching to 2H if any mobs are summoned.

Lastly I chose to play a Redguard for the Stamina regen and find this build really meshes well with their racial abilities.

Nightblade PVE Bow / Healer

My first try for a DPS / Healer biuld for Nightblade, I haven't tried it yet.
But it seems reasonable.

Nightblade/Vampire Dual Wield/Bow PvP

PLEASE NOTE: I am a Dark Elf, therefore I get a high fire resistance from my passive skills which is great for this build due to being a vampire. Vampires take extra damage to fire for those of you who are not aware.
