ESO PvP: Hybrid Magicka Nightblade 1vX Build 🥷 [Firesong]

This build is slightly outdated
There is no longer much benefit from running sea serpent coil on nightblade due to the changes to concealed weapon which provides major berserk now instead of a unique 10% damage buff. If you want to try this build you can swap sea serpent for markyn and shadow image for race against time. The damage is noticabley lower now for this particular build so I would recommend running wretched back bar, orders wrath/War maiden/back alley gourmand front bar, balorgh, 1 trainee, markyn. I may post a new nightblade 1vX Build in the future but for now I recommend checking out Hexapug's channel for an up to date guide.

Even with no Shadow Cloak Nightblade can be very strong. Building into crit seems to work the best for both damage and survivability. Hist Sap is a very powerful set that provides quite reliable passive healing. A lot of people are sleeping on it because of how good Mara's Balm is currently. I wanted to showcase it's potential prior to the Mara's Balm nerf since Hist Sap doesn't look like it is getting changed on the PTS.

Masters Dual Wield is also crazy strong right now. Using Blood Craze with Masters Dual Wield provides extra healing and a nice DoT to keep pressure on targets while reapplying buffs and healing. The amount of healing this build provides allows you to easily go offensive without much worry of getting bursted down quickly.

I have intentionally built my Nightblade to over-sustain in low pressure encounters because I like to mitigate a lot of damage on my back bar while block weaving and when you are getting overwhelmed your mag bar can disappear pretty fast so being able to recover those resources quickly is important in my opinion. If you want to try this build out but feel the sustain is unnecessary, you can swap the food for bewitched sugar skulls which would provide a bit more damage at the cost of recovery. You can also run Rallying Cry or another defensive set back bar in place of Wretched Vitality and keep the same food.

One small thing I forgot to add to the video: technically it would be more optimal to run 1 Domihaus instead of 1 Trainee and then mess with glyphs/attributes to get slightly higher stat pools but this is very minimal.
