ESO Magicka Nightblade PvP Build

Welcome to our ESO Magicka Nightblade PvP Build which we will give you two options to play.  One will be the 1vX style ideal for solo players or dueling.  The second is “bomber” which destroys large groups instantly though it has low survivability.  Magblades play in the shadows and excel at single-target kills. In the current meta, near Update 37 Scribes of Fate, the Magblade can be argued is the strongest solo class in the game. It has the most burst, the best healing and most single target kill potential in the game.  The major downside is, the skill cap required makes it very challenging to play.

Last Update March 16th, 2023: After playing the Magblade in Update 37, Scribes of Fate, I changed to build to incorporate Shadowy Disguise and Vampire at stage three.  Both my survivability and burst increased and I think this is the best way to play it.  Additionally, I used some alternative gear sets and changed out the loadout slightly for optimized high critical damage (burst). Magblade remains one of the best overall classes due to the raw damage of Concealed Weapon and the healing and mobility of Refreshing Path.  I’ve also added another playstyle for “bombing” since Nightblade Bomber is making a comeback.

Pros Cons
The Best Burst Possible VERY High Skillcap
Insane Healing Requires Constant Buffs
Can Bomb or 1vX
Great Group Utility

Magblade went from one of the worst, to arguably the best class in ESO PvP.  The Magblade in the right hand is literally the best 1v1 or 1vX class in ESO unquestionably.  The downside, it has to be the right player with the right level of skill, reaction time, and situational awareness. Keeping a broad view of these classes in ESO, I rank it third because most players won’t be able to pull off what they often see or hear.

  • Highest burst damage with one-shot potential spectral bow proc.
  • Highest burst healing with Healthy Offering magicka skill.
  • Mobility and healing over time to you AND your group.
  • Incredible in class ultimate and flexibility when picking weapons.
  • Can bomb, 1vX, or heal, it doesn’t matter.
  • Siphoning Attacks for infinite resource sustain
  • Fastest ultimate generation passively.

Skills

Front Bar: Dual Wield 1vX Build

Front Bar Weapon Options: They are all good choices depending on your playstyle and needs. Experiment with what works best.

  • Dual Wield - best overall damage via passives highest DPS but without a restoration staff or Ice staff on the back bar can be brutal to sustain.
  • Fire staff - range and most single target damage and pairs well with elemental users.
  • Lightning Staff: provides easy fully charged heavy attacks for resource sustain and 10% AoE damage when channeling.
  • Two-handed has the best passives for burst.
 

Merciless Resolve (Morph of Grim Focus | Skill line: Assassination) - For assassin skill line buffs and main single target nuke.

Power Extraction (Morph of Drain Power | Skill line: Siphoning) - AoE damage and minor courage buff.

Concealed Weapon (Morph of Veiled Strike | Skill line: Shadow) - melee spammable mainly used to increase damage passively.

Refreshing Path (Morph of Path of Darkness | Skill line: Shadow) - Our mobility tool that keeps the 10% damage buff up for concealed weapon and a good heal over time.

Camouflaged Hunter (Morph of Expert Hunter | Skill line: Fighters Guild) - Used for critical buff, minor beserk proc and counter to fellow stealthy targets.

Incapacitating Strike (Morph of Death Stroke | Skill line: Assassination) - Your single target bursting tool.


Back Bar: Frost Staff 1vX Build

Back Bar Weapon Options: They are all good choices depending on your playstyle and needs. Experiment with what works best.

  • Restoration Staff - the best buffs and healing. The strength of Resto is fully charged heavy attacks for major mending and magicka sustain.
  • Sword and Shield - great choice when blocking The benefit of a sword and shield is using stamina for block mitigation when taking tons of pressure. Switch to sword and shield if you like a slower pace gameplay or if you struggle with survivability.
  • Frost Staff - can either use magicka or stamina for blocking and gives as much damage reduction as Sword and Shield and you can use the spell damage enchant and have some range.
 

Leeching Strikes (Morph of Siphoning Strikes | Skill line: Siphoning) - Your sustain tool. It may seem odd, but I use a lot of stamina to dodge roll, so I prefer the Leaching morph to make sure I never run out of stamina. Take another morph if you're magicka starved.

Elemental Susceptibility (Morph of Weakness to Elements | Skill line: Destruction Staff) - Great debuff on a single target and gives in class major breach.

Refreshing Path (Morph of Path of Darkness | Skill line: Shadow) - Our mobility tool keeps the 10% damage buff up for concealed weapon and a good heal over time.

Resolving Vigor (Morph of Vigor | Skill line: Assault) - Stamina based heal over time.

Healthy Offering (Morph of Malevolent Offering | Skill line: Siphoning) - Burst heal for survivability.

Soul Tether (Morph of Soul Shred | Skill line: Siphoning) - AoE bursting tool that gives you a big heal.


Front Bar: Bomber Playstyle

Concealed Weapon (Morph of Veiled Strike | Skill line: Shadow) - Buffs our damage if we maintain Refreshing Path.

Sap Essence (Morph of Drain Power | Skill line: Siphoning) - AoE damage used after our "bomb" combo.

Lotus Fan (Morph of Teleport Strike | Skill line: Assassination) - Gap closer used to proc our Rush of Agony gear set.

Shadowy Disguise (Morph of Shadow Cloak | Skill line: Shadow) - Stealth and guaranteed critical strike after cloaking.

Camouflaged Hunter (Morph of Expert Hunter | Skill line: Fighters Guild) - Used for critical damage on our front bar.

Soul Tether (Morph of Soul Shred | Skill line: Siphoning) - Our bomb ultimate after Proxy Detonation explodes.


Back Bar: Bomber Playstyle

Refreshing Path (Morph of Path of Darkness | Skill line: Shadow) - Used for mobility and to proc increased damage via Concealed weapon on the front bar.

Proximity Detonation (Morph of Magicka Detonation | Skill line: Assault) - This is our bomb skill we try to time with soul tether for instant nuke.

Race Against Time (Morph of Accelerate | Skill line: Psijic Order) - Mobility tool and pre-buff for bigger critical damage.

Siphoning Attacks (Morph of Siphoning Strikes | Skill line: Siphoning) - Resource sustaining tool.

Healthy Offering (Morph of Malevolent Offering | Skill line: Siphoning) - Burst heal.

Life Giver (Morph of Panacea | Skill line: Restoration Staff) - Survivability ultimate.
