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.

WardenNightblade PVP/PVE sustainability build
This is a PVP/PVE build that is designed to do massive amount of DPS via DW and provide sustainability via Bow.
Rotation description
DW -
1. Sneak
Rotation begins ->
2. Surprise attack (stun)
3. Blinding flurry (for massive DPS and another chance to disorient)
4. Shadowy disguise (to go invisible)
Repeat rotation until target is below 20% then -->
5. Impale (finishing blow = 300% dmg)
Notes:
a) At any point of the battle if target has higher HP than you use Incapacitating Strike (ultimate ability for stun + reducing targets healing ability and cause burst dmg). As an example you can use this ability between step 2 and 3 after Surprise Attack stun effect has worn off.
b) Ambush is used to either close the distance between a fleeing target or can be used as an opener instead of Surprised Attack as step number 2 in the rotation. IMPORTANT: Then straight after Ambush you would need to use Incapacitating Strike to maximize ultimate skill damage causing huge amount of burst dmg in the first seconds of the fight. Note that for this rotation opener you would need your Ultimate charged to the maximum AND have your HP lower than target's.
BOW -
1. Sneak
Rotation begins ->
2. Surprise Attack
3. Swallow Soul (keep this DoT going to heal)
4. Magnum Shot (keeps distance between you and the target)
5. Shadowy Disguise
Repeat rotation
6. Activate - Leeching Strikes (when low Magiska and/or Health. Remember to deactivate when Magiska, Health and Stam are full or near full. Reason why you want to deactivate is because it reduces your dmg by 22% as a price for restoring).
BUILD NOTE: Simply switch to Bow to restore Magiska and/or Health to retain sustainability then go back to DW to continue dealing massive DPS.
