Stamina Nightblade PVE Build (105k+) - DW/DW | DW/Bow - Markarth - Elder Scrolls Online ESO

This video showcases two possible PVE Builds for the Stamina Nightblade (Markarth Patch).
Firstly we have the Dual Wield / Dual Wield setup, followed by a more traditional Dual Wield / Bow setup.
These build are a baseline, so can and should be adjusted for use in different situations. As they are now, they are primarily geared towards generic 12-man trials boss fights.
Thanks again to Rosskag for providing the footage.

Shadow
Example Blue CPs for Practicing on the Dummy
Master-at-Arms 72, 9 Physical Weapon Expert
Thaumaturge 56, Piercing 3, Precise Strikes 66, Mighty 64
Blue CPs in Raid:
The no. points into piercing depends on several factors that may or may not be present in your group, therefore you could try and calculate this yourself since it's hard to give a universal recommendation. Any Blue CP left over as a result of taking out from Piercing, can feasibly go anywhere - just try to hit those breakpoints.
Check out possible Blue CP allocations over at eso-u.com/cham...
Food
For Practice on Dummy: Lava Foot + 0 points into HP (64 into Stamina)
In Raid: Lava Foot + ~20 points into HP + 6 Medium 1 Heavy / Max HP + Stam food if you can sustain it

Both rotations shown are ~10 seconds long, due to many of the skills matching this duration.
Incap Strike should be used in a timely fashion, to provide you with the maximum burst. To make the most of it, usually, it will be one of the first skill to be used on your front bar. Then follow it up with re-application of your Rending and Soul Trap as soon as possible, if you haven't already, and also fit in as much Surprise Attack and Bow Procs as you can.
For Maarselok, you will need to Bash once every 7 or more seconds to proc its effect.
In short fights, aim to have DOTs (and relentless focus with 5x stacks, for the new crit damage buff) running one last time, before spamming Killer's Blade until the end.
Static Rotations:
Spam = Bow Proc or Surprise Attack or refreshing Relentless Focus (every three parts)
Static Rotation - DW/DW
Alternate part 1 and part 2.
Start (setup and the starting burst):
Dark Shades - Leeching Strikes - Relentless Focus - Barbed Trap
Part 1 (with incap)
Deadly Cloak - Soul Trap
Incap - Rending - Shadow Silk/Spam - Spam - Spam - Spam - Spam - Spam
Part 2 (without incap)
Deadly Cloak - Soul Trap
Rending - Soul Trap - Shadow Silk/Spam
Barbed Trap - Dark Shades - Leeching Strikes (if needed)
Spam - Spam - Spam (this last one if you didn't cast leeching)
At 25%, keep up Deadly Cloak, Barbed Trap, Dark Shades and spam Killer's Blade.

[@MrChaydelarosa]

Wow great parse, what add-ons are you running?

[@Missmiaeso]

That’s some nice spicy noodles content

[@Codamans]

This is what I've been waiting for. Too bad it's harder to do this on Xbox

[@devilmaycry0917]

bashing is no-go for competitive console dps build, use selene instead

[@Codamans]

@@devilmaycry0917 just missing berserker warriors weapons since everyone wants that

[@brunoschneider7287]

How do u manage to hit 85%crit chance? With the same setup I cant get past 58%... Keep the awesome work

[@Liko]

this is probably with raid buffs included, so when you compare do ensure you are hitting the raid dummy as well

[@smokedogg5940]

is this still good for trials ? asking as im returnng i have most of it gold

[@kdawg3484]

What add-ons are being used? The purple Maarselok counter is from Cooldowns. The AY bar on the left I don't know. Is it it BuffTimers2? And what are the two at the bottom right, and what are they tracking exactly?

[@Liko]

Addons: -Cooldowns ( maarselok ) -PenTest ( two stripes on the bottom and off balance ) -Buff Timer ( the strip that on the left side showed AY)

[@avistorres2601]

Liko will the swords for brp work as well?, I don’t have the perfected axe yet only the perfected sword and mace

[@ihhkkk8260]

Which is better for pve and pvp stamblade or magiblade

[@paabeatz]

Currently planning to run for IR on my stamblade. Using Tzogvin/Swamp Raider/Masters Bow/Msa Bow. So basically going for full poison/disease dmg. Would you rather use spiders or Dark Shade in my case?

[@Liko]

Spiders is good if you can get both hits on the main boss. Dark shades would be better if stamina gets a bit sweaty, seeing as shades cost magicka.

[@paabeatz]

@@Liko by both Hits you mean the normal aoe plus the synergy? Im currently the only stam in the group so u doubt i'll get to activate any synergy. Sustain is no Problem for me as a woodelf and with soultrap on spheres

[@Liko]

@@paabeatz I mean the initial hit, then the hit after 10 seconds. The spider synergy is the bonus for someone else, but not what I was talking about

[@paabeatz]

@@Liko ah, I see, thanks.

[@orboro6836]

Why the 100 points in arcanist and not mooncalf?

[@Liko]

you should totally rather put the points into mooncalf than arcanist on a stam class haha, definitely an oversight in this case but stamblade sustain is good enough without it seems

[@rosskag9466]

so good sustain that I didn't even notice -_-

[@rkindaleft]

Bit late now but why the use of spiders? Are they worth it on other stam specs?

[@Liko]

If you're able to consistently get both hits off a spider, then it's pretty worth it for the damage. The nice synergy that comes with it is a bonus too. Worth on most other stam specs if bar space allows (perhaps not stamplar atm?)

[@rkindaleft]

@@Liko Cool ty

[@takiitopotato2507]

curious about the mag recovery

[@Liko]

Twas an accident, should be towards stam recovery

[@cairoringoarraesfilho2023]

Please do flames.

[@Liko]

Coming today!

[@cairoringoarraesfilho2023]

@@Liko Thank you sm for the good work you do for us.

[@Dlent1337]

why is ping always high when you parsing, for better weaving?

[@connorwelsh2658]

He’s on EU and PTS is only NA I believe so even if he wanted good ping he can’t

[@Jarnoh]

What addon is used to track maarselok here?

[@rosskag9466]

Cooldowns

[@roxascloud101]

Magsorc update pls?

[@Liko]

i dont have one for markarth, and probably wont -make one in time but: liko.gg/search?by_tag_id[]=695&by_tag_id[]=720&by_tag_id[]=986&order_by%5Bcategory%5D=published_at&order_by%5Border%5D=DESC
