ShadowKnight - Hybrid Nightblade SnB Brawler - PvP Build - ESO U41

[@briankingham175]

I love how you retained the nightblade identity while being able to use sword and shield! Another great build!

[@hawkeyehebrew]

Appreciate it bro! Not gone lie, it was difficult to figure out initially because I tried every single sword n board skill possible. Most Nightblade skills are way too good to pass up on lol.

[@briankingham175]

@@hawkeyehebrew Very true, their kit is pretty good without relying on outside skills! Replacing ambush/Lotus fan with invasion gives a nice stun on top of being a gap closer, so that works out nicely. Otherwise, I can see the difficulty in trying to keep as many nb skills as possible. You pulled it off!

[@bogie1102]

Another great shield build.

[@hawkeyehebrew]

Indeed! Appreciate the support bro!

[@keithgoddard4192]

Well thought out build, nice.

[@hawkeyehebrew]

Thanks man! Greatly appreciate it.

[@RaphX13]

I think you just inspired me to go make a paladin something about reverb Jabs beam sounds glorious

[@hawkeyehebrew]

Nice! That does sound pretty strong lol. Glad I can be an inspiration. 💯

[@starlightknight3768]

Is this build going to get an update with the new shield throw from scribing? I look forward using this build regardless. Good job

[@hawkeyehebrew]

Appreciate it! I'm going to try and update some of my builds with shield throw. My SnB Warden, DK, and Templar for sure. I'm not sure what skill I would drop on Nightblade for shield throw. What skill are you thinking?

[@cooperplaster693]

Why not shadow disguise for the crit?

[@hawkeyehebrew]

It's more of a brawler playstyle so the minor protection helps more. You could switch to shadowy disguise if you want. It shouldn't change the build too much.

[@PsykoSockPuppet0510]

You can make some tri pots that grant heroism to stack that with the siphoning passive granting 20 Ultimate on pot use too

[@hawkeyehebrew]

Bruh! That sounds crazy strong. Are those the pots you need all those dragon resources to make?

[@PsykoSockPuppet0510]

@@hawkeyehebrew Yessir. You can craft a tri pot that's Essence of Magicka but will grant you Magicka + Major Intellect, Stamina + Major Endurance, and Minor Heroism, all for 47.6 seconds. Requires Columbine, Dragon's Blood, and Dragon Rheum.

@@PsykoSockPuppet0510 ok cool! Thank you for sharing this.

[@PsykoSockPuppet0510]

@@hawkeyehebrew have you tested this yet? How has it worked out for you?

[@hawkeyehebrew]

@@PsykoSockPuppet0510 I haven't tried it yet. I been leveling my ESO account on PC. I'm definitely going to craft these though.

Thank you bro!

[@jasonchui111]

Unless you are fighting a block tank or some high level pvper that do perfect block weaving every gcd, why would you use shell Splitter? The 5th line is impractical and uptown would terrible. Using oakfather's Retribution would be better as you will not lose most of that pen from shell Splitter while having more dmg.

[@hawkeyehebrew]

I completely agree with you which is why I'm only wearing 4 pieces of it. I feel like the same argument can be made with oakfathers if your fighting someone who is terrible at keeping buffs up. I am curious though if oakfathers works against someone using oakensoul?

[@RaphX13]

Yes it does

[@RaphX13]

Oak father was bugged also not sure if it was fixed it counts on debuffs aplied as well

[@hawkeyehebrew]

@@RaphX13 OH WOW!!! I need to go try this out asap lol. Thanks for sharing this!

@@hawkeyehebrew might be patched by now but worth a test

[@irishsage2459]

You give up on PC already bro ?

[@hawkeyehebrew]

Not a chance bro! I got my markyn, pale order, and sea serpent coil mythics and I'm currently farming veteran vateshran. Been playing BG'S on my arcanist trying to strengthen my build. I also just crafted my first set of shattered fate and wretched vitality gear. I'm here to stay!

[@gudhlef]

​@@hawkeyehebrew hey, thank you for your content. What's your opinion on Shattered Fate? I'm planning to use a brawler necro, but still thinking what set to pair with Wretched Vitality. Is Shattered Fate better, or it's better to slot Rallying Cry? If I'm doing setup with Shattered I slot Nibenay Bay + all impen pieces except chest, which is reinforced

[@hawkeyehebrew]

@@gudhlef you're welcome! Shattered Fate is best in slot for pen. I love that set and used it on a couple of my sword n board brawler builds. It's really strong with wretched vitality. I don't know much about necro but if you have good sustain without wretched vitality I would probably say go with rallying cry because that's some of the best defense in the game against all the crit nightblades and sorcs running around. If you need the extra sustain though wretched vitality will definitely work wonders. Better defense or better sustain.

[@gudhlef]

@@hawkeyehebrew thank you bro. i will test both and reply after.. just need to level up, rank up undaunted.. psijics... alchemy...and scry Sea Serpent xD

[@hawkeyehebrew]

@@gudhlef Ok cool. You off to a good start if you have all that.
