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.

New to the game. Still testing this out. I'm still leveling so I haven't had a chance to test Refreshing Path and most of the Passives yet...<br/><br/>The Archer build is working well, I can survive after taking on a group of 3 MOBS which are of similar level. DW blade is pretty self explanatory. Dark Elf is my choice here. I think it works well because of DW leveling + good balance of Stamina and Magicka ++ Flame Talent hopefully will increase my Scorched Earth and should work well with my Medium Armor in crafting, which I've been using for Ashen Grip's "Breath of Fire" (bonus fire attack).<br/><br/>Single Target:<br/>Open with Stealth/Shadowy Disguise >> Melee/Surprise Attack >> Rapid Strikes (while enemy is down) >> A few quick melee hits >> Killer's Blade! Mix in Swallow Soul and Shadowy Disguise + Soul Harvest for tougher enemies.<br/><br/>Multiple Targets:<br/>Open with Scorched Earth (Fire DPS) >> Lotus Fan (Slow + Bleed DPS) >> Venom Shot (stun casters and Poison DPS) + Draining Shot (stun/hold back attackers) >> Refreshing Path (damage DPS + Heal).<br/>From here you can either finish them off with bow attacks or switch to Dual Wield. Swallow Soul should provide extra healing while standing on path while slotted w/ Dual Wield. Enemies should be weak enough so you can move around path quickly and execute as needed. Mix in Soul Tether for large groups and/or boss enemies that have other back-up minions.<br/><br/>A few thoughts:<br/>If Refreshing Path + Swallow Soul provides enough healing, I may morph Killer's Blade to Impale, for increase distance, which will allow me to execute enemies who stand outside of Refreshing Path.<br/><br/>Also, if needed later, I may replace Impale with Siphoning Strikes, which should work well with Rapid Strikes (increase attack speed).<br/><br/>Only 60 skill points showing. I doubt I'll play enough to see all these points.<br/>
