ESO: Recommended Basic Nightblade Build

As I’m sure most of you are aware, there is no cookie cutter build in ESO. The build is what works for you. That being said, here is a basic Dual Wield Nightblade build that I’ve found consistent success with.

Primary Skills:

I have these skills listed in their order on my skill bar, not in the order that I got them in.

• Assassination Blade – Deals magic damage to enemies, deals additional damage to low health targets.
• Teleport Strike – Deals magic damage to enemies, and stuns monsters. (As far as I’m aware, this skill does not stun players in PvP.)
• Strife – Deals damage over time every 2 seconds for 10 seconds. You receive healing for 25% of the damage done.
• Twin Slashes – Deals physical damage to enemies, and inflicts bleeding for 9 seconds.
• Agony – Stuns an enemy for 12 seconds, effect is broken if the enemy takes damage from any source. After the effect is broken the enemy takes magic damage over 5 seconds. (Mostly used when dealing with multiple enemies at once.)

Ultimate:

• Death Stroke – Deals damage and reduces target’s healing received. Player’s damage increases as the ultimate charges, up to a maximum of 275%.

This is the basic build I like to use. If you’ve found something else that works for low levels, leave it in the comments below. For more guides, be sure to check out the ESO team directory.
