Introduction
Welcome to the Stamina Nightblade Build PvE “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 insane Burst and overall really good Single Target Damage. With our combination of Relequen and Berserking Warrior we can reach insane Weapon Critical numbers which is especiallye. Those two sets make Nightblades freaking strong, whether be it in Dungeons, Trials or Maelstrom Arena. Another good set is also War Machine 15% Major Slayer damage boost and the Ultimate 20% damage boost combined with Berserking Yokeda will increase your dps tremendously. We are using a full light attack build in combination with Leeching Strikes.
- Insane Burst Damage
- Insane high Single Target damage
- Group Support
- Good AoE Damage
- Good Sustain
- Dualwield & Bow Setup
- Trials, Dungeon & Maelstrom
Changes from the previous version
- Updated Champion Points and optimized passive section.
- Changed Enchantments. They now work slightly different compared to last patch. So we run double infused. Backbar Bow with infused poison enchant, which will keep procing from Endless Hail on the frontbar and on the frontbar we use the weapon damage enchantment.
- We now also use two Daggers instead of 1 Axe and 1 Dagger, this is to eliminate RNG and higher weapon crit will be more beneficial on trash pulls in trials and dungeons.
- Optimized Gear Setups, it now follows the rule of 1,2,3
- Setup 1 is with Trial Gear
- Setup 2 is without Trial Gear
- Setup 3 is for Beginners
- Optimized Maelstrom Setup
Resource Management
Nightblades can sustain a rotation with blue food already, just make sure to keep up Leeching Strikes. You also want to make sure that Spears or Orbs are used by your healers to activate the synergy for resources. I recommend being a Redguard because you will get the best sustain. You have more options, you can also use Stormfist as main Monster Set to gain another Stamina Recovery bonus or Vicious Serpent set. And you can be a Vampire stage 2 for the 10% extra Stamina Recovery. Stamina Nightblade has Leeching Strikes which helps a bit with sustain, I recommend using it.
- Leeching Strikes
- Orbs or Spears from Healers
- Heavy Attacks resource return (optional)
- Vicious Serpent Set (optional)
- Redguard (if available)
- Dubious Camoran Throne (only if you struggle with sustain)

Gear Setup 3 Beginner
This setup is dedicated to people that have not had the chance to farm the necessary gear for the maximum damage potential. 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 if you want.
| Gear | Set | Weight | Trait | Enchantment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest | Hunding's Rage | Heavy | Divine | Health |
| Belt | Night Mother's Gaze | Medium | Divine | Stamina |

| Ring | Agility | Jewelry | Robust | Weapon Damage |
