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.

WardenHeavy Armor Skirmish
PvP Build - Two-handed & One-handed + Shield.
I run with a full set of heavy armor that is all enchanted with Magika bonuses.
Works best in small skirmishes where high survivability and high burst are essential. You are strongest when solo fighting 1v1, 1v2, 1v3.
If I'm fighting larger groups, such as in a siege defence situation, I have two options...
+ The first is to flank the opposing group of players and either pick off singles from the sides or try and cut off reinforcements from behind. You want to limit your fights to smaller numbers. Although your shield bar will give you enough survivability, you can't just charge into a large group of players and hope to survive.
+ The second option is to simply switch your entire skillset. I have also set up a 'warlock' style caster skillset for this exact purpose which is much more effective when dealing with larger groups of players. If you're stood on your keep's walls then this skirmish melee layout is wasted (unless you're on a siege weapon!) - You must bare in mind that you can't switch armor or skills during combat so plan ahead! I'll post my warlock setup here too...
It's also worth noting that you could use Siphoning Strikes on your One-handed bar instead of Immovable Brute - which I quite often do.
Thoughts welcome!
