Nightblade talent calculator, you can find bellow, will help you find the best build to match your playstyle as this, mostly, DPS class. Nightblade is the only class that has a vanish skill that lets you get out of sticky situation or prepare your most devastating attacks. Assassination Nightblades will be all about dealing damage (or buffing themselves to do the most damage). Shadow is the skill line you want to follow if you want to get utility abilities that will make you vanish and do the most damage while surprising your enemies. Siphoning is more about DOTs and leaching health. Great for weakening mobs while staying alive. Whether you use a bow, daggers or other means of dealing damage to your enemies, Nightblade’s skill will help you dispose of them the fastest. Pick and choose skills bellow and save them so others can see your preferred playstyle.

Shadow Knight
One of my favorite classes in all mmos is the Everquest/EQ2 Shadow Knight. It is one of the few evil player classes in mmos. The theme is a heavy armor wearing knight of darkness that steals life from enemies and causes terror. Nightblade was a perfect choice. Most morphs were chose to be the Stamina version. Stamina is for damage, though you could put more in Health if you wanted better tanking I suppose; I have never tested this in a group as a tank; it's just a theme build, not necessarily meant to tank in a real group role.
