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.

NB Destruction Staff/Restoration Staff
Solo mage build for NB. This is what I use at pve questing. One action bar pure damage, another for utility and regeneration. For damage build some morphs may be better other way but I like healing when grouped so heal morphs.
Keep Incapacitate active. Start whit prolonged suffering (ranged enemy) hit quick siphon and funnel health and Destruction staff rest. Sap and impulse while standing on elemental blockade. Destructive reach for some breathing room for weapon switch.
Ultimate I usually use only when fight go on too long or I pull too many enemies and boss fights. Just stand on it and sap-impulse and you will be standing on corpses.
Magicka is must and at least 5 light armor. My magicka keeps capping so all attributes on health.
