Shadow Knight 2.1 (Post IC DLC)
The general concept here is a stealthy DK assassin.
I have been running this build for a week or so and I'm having fairly good success with it. I originally played a Heavy Armored Spell Damage build in PVP, but that play style is all but dead for Solo/1vX so the move to stamina was inevitable. This setup gives you plenty of mobility around the battlefield, a decent amount of firepower and enough sustain to hold up against 2-4 moderately skilled players.
Gear:
3 x Vicious Serpent V14 - 2 piece bonus adds weapon crit which is good and the 3 piece reduces the cost of feats by 8% and increases your movement speed after killing an enemy... this set is a pain to get (only drops in SO, but is a great utility set providing crit, sustain and speed to disengage after dropping an important member of the opposing army.
5 x Hunding's Rage V16 - Weapon Crit, Stamina & a boatload of Weapon Damage, this set is a must for Stamina damage dealing. This set is craftable, so you can get whatever pieces you need to work around the pieces of Vicious you have.
3 x Endurance V16 Jewelry - I know most would go for the Agility set for the extra weapon damage and I would for PVE, but in PVP I like the extra HP & stamina regen. All three pieces are enchanted with Gold V16 Weapon Damage Glyphs and it makes a big difference.
I use divines on all crafted gear. With the buffs that Mundus Stones received in the last patch this gets the most of a builds potential.
Mundus Stone:
The Serpent (stam regen), other possibilities are The Warrior (Weapon Damage) or The Shadow (Crit Damage).
Rotation - From stealth - Crit Rush -> Petrify -> WB -> [bar swap] -> Ransack -> Reverberating Bash -> (if they are still alive) [Bar Swap] -> WB->WB....
In a more open field encounter where you aren't engaging from stealth you'll want to close the gap with Dragon Scales up, Start on the S&B bar, Shielded Assault -> Ransack -> Reverberating Bash ->[Bar Swap]-> WB->(Petrify whenever their CC immunity is over, this will dry up their stamina really fast.
This setup is for Solo/1vX situations... if you find yourself in a group or heaven forbid in the AP Train, then you swap out the S&B buff/debuff bar for Dual Wield Daggers...
For DW, my bar is Resolving Viggor - Camo Hunter - Retreating Maneuvers - Steel Tornado - Dragon Scales - Bats
Race:
I am an Orc, so I get a 4% buff to Melee damage, extra health and stam.<br/>Bosmer, Redguard, Khajiit and Imperial are all good choices.
Any suggestions are welcome,
Enjoy
The necromantic assasin
This build is mainly for pvp but wil work great for pvp
(And yes i know necromancers are suposed to raise the dead not shadow people but just use your imaginations the shades kinda looks lile ghost)
Hope you like it ( just a final tip i ussualy use the assasin bar for pvp and the necro bar for pve)
Okay so there is no “Edit” option.. the “4th skill” meant to be “Ward Ally”, the tool mixed the order of skills up a bit :/
hello
i added 2 builds… well one and a half.
the NIGHT MAGE and the UNDYING BLADE.
i hope some of you like to comment on theese, since its not the old-fashioned and booring DW/Bow-sneaky-creepy-assasin-rouge-style-archetype.
I like my opponents see me comming and my fights long and rewarding.
maybe we find a way to improve it even more, or you see synergies/buffs/things/changes in rotation which i have not.
cheers

Some comments or thoughts on my build for pvp/pve would be great. Thanks!
It’s now the middle of 2017. With the newest content of Morrowwind coming out very soon. Anything for the new builds or monster sets?
