    It may be awesome to be a stam NB for PVP using ambush, surprise attack and killers blade. I may have to try it out.

    I can only think that this is part of the “blanket multiply by 10 rule”, as 100% of something means just that…every time. If I have 100% chance to crit then I will crit with every attack. If I have more than that (and on PTS I have almost 500% Spell Crit) then that must mean my enemies are attacking themselves and I can sit back and laugh at them.

    More than 100% is a useless statistic on Zeni’s part and needs to be fixed soon.

    I don’t really understand the passive Pressure Points – Increases critical strike rating by 2519 for each assassination ability slotted. does that increases your chance to crit?? by how much %??

    Very curious to see a NB stam build for PvE purposes post 1.6. Seem to be respeccing every week and can’t find a DPS bow build for NB that makes sense. I liked your 1.5 build. Changed with 1.6?

    Hi Deltia, I’m a little fan of your playing and builds, th for your playing and sharing. I’m playing on EU server and after patch 6 got little problem get DPS bow single target over 11k. I’m imperial NB, using 4 peaces of Opthian set, 3 peace of Hunting rage + bow so 4 peaces, 2 rings of hawk eye, necklase not set, enchan jewelry – one reduce cost of time drinking, two + weapon Demage, armor enchant all in Stamina, attributes, 5m, 52h, 5s, champions all in poison Demage, all in regeneration stamina, all in block, 30 points each. Aspon Demage around 2400 without buff. Skills for bow single target, verdron arrow, leather arrow, reletness focus, evil hunter, repeats mark, ulti dawnbreaker +5% weapon buff. Think that I have little problems with rotation skills and use advantage of relentless focus. Still using your old rotation get target poison dot, spamming lethal arrow, but can’t get effectively use there relentless focus. Thx for your time. I would like to get DPS about 1800. White 🙂

    I believe it’s good they changed the scaling attribute for some of the NB class abilities to stamina, in order to boost their effectiveness for all the stamina builds.

    I’m still not sure about the governing attribute for the critical chance of those abilities. Let’s take Killer’s Blade for example, it now scales its damage over Stamina and Weapon Power, good, but does the probability for it to crit depend on Weapon Crit % or Spell Crit %?

    And what about other class abilities? Is the crit probability of all magicka related class abilities related to Spell Crit % and all stamina related class abilities based on Weapon Crit % or is it a case by case dependancy?

      It’s case specific. Generally crit scales off what is highest (weapon/spell).

    Have you considered making a tank build for NB with these skills? Due to low amount of tank players (on xb1), I found myself tanking as a NB Dps, surprisingly it worked with just a shield and a few taunting skills and siphoning.

    Hey,

    ever thought about adding a personal ranking for each active skill? Maybe divide it into a PvP and a PvE score/mark or something like that!? Would be great for crafting builds since many people like me use your website as a valuable ressource anyway.

    Cheers!

    Hey DG, im kinda new to eso so i have a question. The dark brotherhood patch has changed a few things. I want to be able to switch between a stamina tank build and a dps build on a nightblade. And I Playing as an Imperial. Before I invest hours of gameplay onto this character i just want to know if this is a viable thing to do? I know imperial stamina dps is viable. Whats your take on a stamina nightblade tanking?

    Do you happen to know if Sap is considered an area heal?
    My second full armor set on my NB tank could be pretty much anything and I haven’t settled yet so I was thinking I might really like to work in a group set and I don’t like alkosh cause its really for stam builds and I’m not doing trials with that guy anyway (at least not yet ;D)… I’m less impressed with imperium cause the cool down bites, I hate lunar bastion but I was thinking maybe just maybe healing mage. Only prob is my big self heal is sap. Could rotate healing springs in but swapping bars can literally kill you so I’d rather not…

      Area heals typically are ground based, like healing springs and sap is not that. But you could try it and see if it works.

Also I attempted vma yesterday and could not get past the first round (I managed to get the boss to 50% using all sigils). Any alternative suggestions since the correction would be appreciated as well as any tips to get past the boss round. Many thanks Deltia, your videos have helped me a lot.

    So I’m new to ESO, can someone give me an example of the final abilites i should take from each class of skills? Also could someone explain generally how many i would want to take from each as well. (how many from assassination, how many from shadow, and how many from siphoning.). Im also new to MMO’s, i have had a hard time understanding things in this game. Skyrim was never a problem but i think since this is an mmo im having more of a difficult time with it. Anyways Thanks!
