Nightblade





The Nightblade is a powerful 'assassin' class in the ESO which utilizes stealth, cunning and powerful siphoning magic to defeat their foes. The Nightblade, while not an extremely versatile class, fills the roll of DPS very well through its three skill trees; Assassination(DPS), Shadow(STEALTH) and Siphoning(DPS/CC).

Nightblade Skills
The three skill trees of the are:


 * Assassination, a set of skills relating to dealing heavy burst DPS
 * Shadow, a set of skills relating to staying hidden and stealthy
 * Siphoning, a set of skills relating to applying DoT's and CC's on enemies.

Assassination
The Assassination skill line mainly focuses on dealing high burst DPS, or Damage Per Second, with skills that help you to quickly incapacitate your enemy, without letting them touch you.

Shadow
The Shadow skill line is all about being stealthy, surprising your enemies, and gaining the upper hand, through under-handed methods.

Siphoning
The Siphoning skill line is one focused on DoTs, and cripples. Instead of doing the maximum amount of burst damage quickly, siphoning is based on self-heals and crowd-control.
