Stamina Nightblade PVE Build (105k+) – DW/DW | DW/Bow – Markarth – Elder Scrolls Online ESO

This video showcases two possible PVE Builds for the Stamina Nightblade (Markarth Patch).

Firstly we have the Dual Wield / Dual Wield setup, followed by a more traditional Dual Wield / Bow setup.

These build are a baseline, so can and should be adjusted for use in different situations. As they are now, they are primarily geared towards generic 12-man trials boss fights.

Thanks again to Rosskag for providing the footage.

– Thaumaturge 56, Piercing 3, Precise Strikes 66, Mighty 64

Blue CPs in Raid:
The no. points into piercing depends on several factors that may or may not be present in your group, therefore you could try and calculate this yourself since it’s hard to give a universal recommendation. Any Blue CP left over as a result of taking out from Piercing, can feasibly go anywhere – just try to hit those breakpoints.

Food
For Practice on Dummy: Lava Foot + 0 points into HP (64 into Stamina)
In Raid: Lava Foot + ~20 points into HP + 6 Medium 1 Heavy / Max HP + Stam food if you can sustain it

Both rotations shown are ~10 seconds long, due to many of the skills matching this duration.

Incap Strike should be used in a timely fashion, to provide you with the maximum burst. To make the most of it, usually, it will be one of the first skill to be used on your front bar. Then follow it up with re-application of your Rending and Soul Trap as soon as possible, if you haven’t already, and also fit in as much Surprise Attack and Bow Procs as you can.

For Maarselok, you will need to Bash once every 7 or more seconds to proc its effect.

In short fights, aim to have DOTs (and relentless focus with 5x stacks, for the new crit damage buff) running one last time, before spamming Killer’s Blade until the end.
