Introduction

Welcome to the Stamina Nightblade Build “Rampage” for Elder Scrolls Online. Make sure to bookmark the link as I will keep updating the build for each new Update of ESO. The Rampage build is a Stamina focused damage dealer build. It is made for endgame content like Trials, Dungeons & Maelstrom Arena.

Stamina Nightblades have really good DPS as long as you can keep damaging the target. Surprise Attack deals an insane amount of damage to the target, the only problem is when the enemy moves around a lot you might not be able to damage him and that is when Nightblades loose a lot of damage. They have pretty strong passives in terms of damage and sustain, so boosting Stamina Recovery is fairly easy on a Stamina Nightblade. I also recommend checking out the Stamina Nightblade Thread of Jeckll on Tamrielfoundry, he has a lot of experience with Stamina Nightblade

Resource Management

In terms of resource management i found that the best setup is a mix of Light and Heavy Attacks. However, like always you can totally build for a full light attack setup if you want. Stamina Nightblade has Leeching Strikes which helps a bit with sustain, I recommend using it. You can also run the Dubious Camoran Throne Drink which gives a lot of Stamina recovery, just make sure to adjust your Health values! Play around a little bit and find the best option for you!

• Leeching Strikes
• Heavy Attacks
• Stamina Recovery Glyphs
• Dubious Camoran Throne Drink

Trials & Dungeons Setup

Weapon Power Potion was active when I took this screenshot.
* Keep in mind I do not have Best in Slot gear on this Character Screenshot! You will have more Weapon Critical with Axe & Dagger. I was using 2 Swords here.

Gear

Gear Best in Slot

This setup is pretty difficult to get, because it requires you to have either Vicious Serpent or Twice Fanged Serpent weapons with a sharpened trait and we all know that those are pretty rare. On top of that we utilize Maelstrom Bow which also needs to be in sharpened.

• Twice Fanged vs Spriggan: In case you do not have access to Twice Fanged Serpent set, you could also run Spriggan, all the armor and weapon pieces can be bought via Guildstore, so it is easier to get, especially the weapons!
• What pieces? It does not matter how you allocate the pieces, as long as you manage to get 5x Twice Fanged Serpent/Spriggan, 5x Vicious Serpent, 2x Velidreth  with a Maelstrom Bow on the backbar.
• Infused Weapon? With the new CP we can get quite a lot Penetration through Piercing with only a few points and make up for it on the Weapon. This boosts the Weapon Damage enchantment by a lot and reduces the cooldown of it, its worth it! Also it reduces the chance of overpenetrating the target.
• War Machine set? You could also use the War Machine set instead of Vicious Serpent as it is a very powerful set. You need to test your sustain then to make sure not to be out of stamina too soon because you loose the 8% cost reduction and the extra Stamina when you kill an enemy from Vicious Serpent.

Not enough sustain? In case you do think you lack sustain, make sure to use 1x Glyph of reduced skillcost on your jewelry. That should be enough to gain enough sustain.

Gear beginner

This setup is dedicated to people that have not had the chance to farm the necessary gear for the maximum damage potential of the Rampage build. All the gear here is either craftable or cheap to get in a guildstore. Make sure to ask a friend to craft Hunding’s Rage and Night Mother’s Gaze. Agility jewelry can be obtained in the Guildstores. I do recommend having around 18k health (with buff-food). You can buy cheap Agility jewelry with healthy trait to reach this value.

• Why a Heavy Chest? This will give you some extra protection, so you will take less damage and when you already have undaunted passive, then you will also gain slightly more health.
