Guide

Build Explaination

This build is designed around maintaining 100% critical rating during any encounter. It builds off of the high critical rating inherent to nightblades and maxes it out. There are different variations of this build that allow for max critical rating. The Tarnished Nightmare version is the only version that does not require DLC trials gear. If you do not have the perfected versions of either Coral Riptide or Ansuul's Torment, then swap out the 1-piece Balorgh for Slimecraw.

This build was designed around a Khajiit. If you are using another race, it will work fine as there are several ways to boost critical damage in group settings. If you are under the critical damage cap, then you can swap out Exploiter for Fighting Finesse or Backstabber.

The backbar weapon can be either the Maelstrom bow, staff, or two-hander, just be sure to swap out the skills accordingly.

Recovery food is recommended for dummy testing.
