⚔️ The Everything Build – Nightblade Versatility Guide

Doesn’t have the absolute top DPS — but it is the top versatility.
One setup for PvP ganks, solo content, Infinite Archive, and even 65k single-target parses. No more swapping builds.

🔥 PvP Combo – Expect Quadra Kills

The main idea in PvP is to stay uncatchable and one-shot enemies with a clean combo:

1. Charge Heavy Attack → procs your Monster Set. Throw that axe, they will hate you.
2. Cancel animation with Chilling Soul → procs Winterborn, shreds armor, applies strong DoT.
3. Light Attack
4. Aurora Javelin → stuns enemy
5. Light Attack

Finish Options:

• Slip back into Shadow Disguise, or
• Fire off a couple Merciless Resolves then vanish, or
• Drop Toxic Barrage to obliterate your enemy.

⚠️ Important: You’re squishy. Dodge, hide, stay mobile.

Get Vampire Stage 2 → run speed while hidden + weapon damage bonus leaving sneak.

If harassed by another NB: Essence of Immovability Potions reveal them.

Need 30k HP?

• Equip Warrior-Poet (Neck, Ring, Shoulders, Bow) + Valkyn Skoria Mask (for penetration), or
• Swap to two-bar setup to maintain Monster Set, then add 2x Rallying Cry (or Warrior-Poet) jewelry + Greatsword.

The two-bar set up runs the following abilities on the back-bar:

• Resolving Vigor (heal + defense buff)
• Concealed Weapon (15% move speed)
• Revealing Flare (10% damage reduction)
• Sun Shield (absorb + close AoE)
• Forward Momentum (+20% weapon & spell damage)

🗡 Solo Content Setup

This build is centered on Puncturing Strikes, which not only deals huge damage but also provides constant healing. The Deadly Set amplifies its damage, while the Prayer Shawl Set gives you a fresh 5.5k shield every 2 seconds (with CP). The result: a versatile Nightblade that’s hard to kill, shreds enemies and still parses 65k single-target DPS.

Straightforward adjustments for Infinite Archive & solo challenges against Difficult Encounters (e.g., Marauders):

• Swap Elemental Blockade → Structured Entropy (adds strong DoT + healing)
• Swap Barbed Trap → Resolving Vigor (to constantly trigger Prayer Set)

⚖️ Set Testing: War Maiden vs. Prayer Shawl → results are nearly identical.
If you know a better self-buff/damage set, drop a recommendation. I advice you to get the Prayer Shawl set because thanks to the 

💥 65K Parse Potential

Work in progress, but climbing fast.

•  Current: 65k single-target DPS (my solo stam build hits 85k — trying to close the gap, maybe with a 2-bar setup).

Context: After 10 years in ESO, this is actually my first magicka character, so I’m still experimenting with abilities and sets.
