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.

Warden2H Nightblade Self healing/AOE
This is a Nightblade 2H DPS build with focus on buffed white damage and heals on the first bar and AOE Damage on the second. The first bar should be very sustainable using the Atronach Mundus Stone and 60/40 Stamina/Magicka enchants. I would suggest using 5/2 Heavy/Medium armor for this build but it could also work going 7 Heavy or 5/2 Medium/Heavy as well. One quirk to the build is that the Ultimate on both bars would be better served to be used on the opposite bar. The passives are what slot them where they are.
The first bar should play like a traditional MMO cooldown rotation as you want to keep all the Buffs, HOT and DOT up at all times. The damage will be mostly buffed white damage with some additional magic damage from the HOT and DOT skills. The buff priority would be Immovable Brute>Rally>Focused Attacks while throwing in Swallow Soul and Degeneration as needed for extra damage and heals. The Ultimate is slotted here more for its passive.
The second bar is also 2H but with an AOE DPS setup. It has a strong damage buff and damage shield the more enemies attacked at once. Leading off with Lotus Fan and then keeping the buffs from Power Extraction and Brawler up would be the priority. This is followed by Silver Shards, more Lotus Fans and/or Reverse Slices as needed. The 2h passive also gives some splash white damage as well. One option is to replace Reverse Slice with Impale and this bar also acts as a pseudo ranged damage bar while using a melee 2H weapon. Again Soul Harvest is slotted here for its passive which would fill very fast in this AOE set up.
