I just want to gladly add that this is the only channel I’ve seen that super newcomer friendly. Most videos go straight to adding content that new players probably don’t have which makes a new player feel as reaching stats impossible and also left feeling left behind. Thank you lucky ghost!
Thanks for all your videos. I just started playing ESO two months ago and your beginner guide and build guides help me so much understand the game. Keep up the good work
im a new player bouncing back and forth between a stam necro lev 40, mag blade 23. Having a blast on both and been having trouble jsut staying on one. Your guides have been a HUGE help. So wanna give you a shout out, Thanks. Ive also sent some friends to your channel who also just recently started. Keep up the great work
I love your videos, i main a bow/bow nightblade and you’re videos have given me a much better understanding of the game. A lot of your advice, after applying it and practicing it, i got out of being stuck at 20k DPS on a 3 mil dummy to 35k and i can keep my rotation and stay alive in solo a lot better now.
Just found your channel today - I'm a fairly new player and this is super helpful, and I see you have a build for my DK as well. Easiest subscribe click I've had in months. Thank you!
@@LuckyGhostESO oh haha wasn't referring to ur builds specifically, just most of the ones i saw floating around seemed to get rid of the destro staff all together lol
Hoping for an updated Solo Magicka nightblade building for 2024. I've just started and I'm noticing a lot of these abilities have changed significantly compared to now vs when this was made.
I've checked out quite a few Magblade builds recently and I gotta say, this is the best one I've seen so far; great results without the sweatiness. And highlighting both trial gear and non-trail gear is always worth kudos. Know your audience, ama' right? :P It's so hard to pass-up Summon Shade's Shadow Image morph though. Being able to teleport _back_ up (elevation-wise) to a spot that would otherwise be a pain to get back to, is so dang handy. Like in IC, maybe you just ported up to the surface from your factions base in the sewer, and you spot a chest right away, but you're not really looking to drop down long-term. Easy; set your shade up near your spawn-point, drop down for the chest, and port right back up to safety (or to your sniper's nest). Oh and, yes I know it's a PvE focus build _("so why are you bringing up IC!?")_ but some good PvE stuff comes from there. Nunatak's monster set, for one.. Which is, I think, the _ONLY_ source of Major Brittle in the game. So, even if you hate PvP, it can be worth the time and frustration to step into IC, from time to time. And, if you _reeeally_ don't want to take any risks, you can at least get the Arena District daily quest done, without ever dropping down from your initial zone-in spot. It's the safe-but-slow way to grind Tel Var for monster shoulders. Your _Shadow Image_ can help you nab the loot off the mobs you kill, and get you back up to safety. As well, if you do drop down and earn a pile of Tel Var (maybe by helping to kill a patrolling boss or something), remember that the fastest way out of IC (IE: to a bank where you can deposit your stash), is to queue-into Cyro (No-CP rarely has a queue-time). Taking the Cyro queue will pull you straight out of IC, even if you're in combat or running for dear life. ;p Really enjoyed this vid. I'm gonna suggest this one in /g chat! Thank you.
Now I'm playing this build and here's a feedback I got only 280 CP Pros: 1. Great sustain 2. Great AOE damage - 1 target damage is also OK, but it is not as impressive as AOE :) 3. Rotation is not boring :) I'm just starting ESO - so, it's still interesting to me to learn positioning and timings which are very important in this build Cons: 1. I'm get OOM very fast - usually I do my daily activities (WBs, Public Dungeons, Random Dungeons) without Recovery food - but it's great to have it. 2. Dumpen Magic (light armor shield ability) - costs a lot of mana and lasts just 6 seconds - I decided to switch it to Mystic Orb of Undaunted - it increases mana recovery, heals and do AOE damage Also, I found logical to switch Barber trap to secondary panel - because it's buff + dot with long duration - it's better to have 6 seconds shield (if you use it) or Mystic Orb on my main bar
This build is awesome and fun to play. Also I'm doing another build, a vampire nightblade PVE mostly for RP so, what is your recommendation for skills and sets?
Great guide, just started again 3 months ago, first time in like 6 years. Still haven't run a dungeon after 400 hours lol I get social anxiety.. is the community nice to newbies?
Hey, great video! Two questions - is this still up-to-date with the current meta? And is it still a viable build even if not playing the recommended races?
I was doing Vateshrans with 10k pen and major breach, and I have to say I had a way harder time burning bosses without it, is 4k really enough for Vet Vateshrans? I Struggled pretty mightily at 8k. Suppose you could always offhand a pen mace to make up the difference.
I would recommend caltrops for pen if you're willing to go get it, second best option is probably elemental weakness. Lover mundus PLUS light armor have felt like more than enough pen for solo in my tests, but I'll never advise against using caltrops in solo if you're willling to jump into pvp . cheers!
@@LuckyGhostESO I definitely like razor caltrops and Im close on my MNB, I currently use the magicka sustain elemental weakness, Caltrops would help with the aoe, ive gotten close on my MNB but I made a sorc heavy attacker and actually cleared the entire thing on the first shot with 3 deaths. Thanks for the info, Im also a 6 month player so relatively new but My first chest I got perfected point blank Snipe. But my MNB is my favorite so Id like to get him and his gear in their happy place. Being a heavy attack bot is a bit boring for how I like to play. Thanks!
I am a returning player and have read that the maelstrom staffs were nerfed is that still preferable? I was told the extra dam and pen does not carry over when you swap to main bar.
is there a one bar PVE solo Bow OR dagger build for Nightblade? ive been trying my best to find one but cant seem to find any. dont really have ppl to play with and ppl dont seem to slow down in group content. i dont wanna use a staff or 2 handed as a thief/assassin :(
Hey man love the vid. I’ve been trying this build out and I was wondering if it would be viable for normal trials (specifically Dreadsail Reef so I can get Whorl of the Depths)? I have no experience with trials and I am still ‘training’ on dummies, but I was wondering on your input on this
normal trials sure, veteran trials use one of my group builds on the same site. But be warned trial builds are tailored for specific situations where you're in an organized group and your character is a little glass cannon with little to no built in sustain (cus it assumes healers and tanks will provide it) so solo builds are better for 99% of content (anything but vet trials with organized groups)
I am reinstalling ESO and came across this video when I saw Nightblade had Shadow and Blood magic. Does it fulfill that dark sorcerer/warlock fantasy or is more of a description of generic magic?
Ok ok, cool and all but you forgot the most important thing luck! What motifs are you using for that great looking character? PS: great guide, because of you my mount feels like sonic now!
Trying to follow your Magicka Templar guide and getting confused how is pillar of nirn supposed to crock if there's only four pieces on at a time because u got 1 dagger and 1 greatsword on front and back and when u switch bars u only have 4 pieces out of 5
You don't have to farm dungeon sets if you don't want to, but you're not going to find too many good overland sets that will help you solo harder content. Although, I guess you could mix Hunding’s or Julianos with Briarheart and be fine soloing base game vet dungeons for the sets.
You really do get to skip a lot of what makes content hard if you can burn fast enough. Everything in the game is made easier by winning a DPS race against mechanics
Your questions is why do I make video guides and walkthroughs for builds that give people the best chance of success in ESO? As opposed to what? gimicky builds that don't actually function in veteran dungeons, trials or arenas? There are plenty of people making those builds, that's not what I enjoy making. IDK I guess I just like setting people up for success because that's what I would want if I was new to ESO looking for a build. I would want something I could build once and use throughout the entire game. To each their own. But its an odd thing to complain about unless you're just looking for things to complain about. Good luck out there
@@LuckyGhostESO it was an honest question, wasn’t meant to be condescending or whatever. See for me I only tank in group content but I do mostly solo content also and I guess my builds reflect my tank nature. I have tried dps builds like yours before but they don’t work for me. Mostly my solo builds are intentionally “gimmicky” because it’s more about having fun and having some kind of theme and also the solo content is very easy. Anyway it was meant to be a constructive question because I was just genuinely curious. I’m sure someone understands me and also I think an actually brand new player could have problems with survival going all damage if they don’t have pale order or something yet and trying to run a build all into damage without all the cp and skill points to get all the defensive passives also. Maybe you could title the videos “meta dps build you can solo with if your good” lol
@@eldenmox5525 I find these types of solo build don't work for me. I'm also tank, and my solo builds are 'tanky with damage' in the PvP style. High health, capped resist and high weapon damage.

finally a mag build without a twohander back bar🙏🙏🙏 nice video!!

lmao thanks! yeah IDK was thinking about firing the editor. We'll see
I would like to say thank you I really needed help with a good biuld for a nightblade and this guide really helped can't wait to solo dungeons now lol

Got a vampire nightblade - really fun to hybrid on with all the life drains you get.
nice! sounds fun!
Is this your most up to date magblade video ?
Thank you so much for all your amazing videos. Are you interested in showing tank builds? I’m looking for any
I’m super new to ESO and I’m so overwhelmed with all the games features. What’s Mundus?
Do you also do builds for the Xbox?
Great guide, just started again 3 months ago, first time in like 6 years. Still haven't run a dungeon after 400 hours lol I get social anxiety.. is the community nice to newbies?
What is this hook ur using? Is it always available?
Ty for the videos!
Which of your builds do you prefere to use for nightblade? Stamina or magica?
Hey, great video! Two questions - is this still up-to-date with the current meta? And is it still a viable build even if not playing the recommended races?
"Oh a staff"
-throws daggers in the ocean
Hey, when I look at my high elf nightblade, I can’t see these skills that you’re talking about for some reason?
I was doing Vateshrans with 10k pen and major breach, and I have to say I had a way harder time burning bosses without it, is 4k really enough for Vet Vateshrans? I Struggled pretty mightily at 8k. Suppose you could always offhand a pen mace to make up the difference.

Hey could you maybe also do a Stamblade Bow Bow Build please or Dw and Bow
5:40 If running Pillar of Nirn inferno staff on front bar, what do you recommend for enchantment and trait? Same as backbar or no?
I am a returning player and have read that the maelstrom staffs were nerfed is that still preferable? I was told the extra dam and pen does not carry over when you swap to main bar.
It shouldn't swap over any more which is what I heard also.
is there a one bar PVE solo Bow OR dagger build for Nightblade? ive been trying my best to find one but cant seem to find any. dont really have ppl to play with and ppl dont seem to slow down in group content. i dont wanna use a staff or 2 handed as a thief/assassin :(

It's big difference between High Elf and Khajiit?😁
Like this alot kitty crit also good 4 build.
kitty is AMAZING for all solo builds, definitely a great option
I am reinstalling ESO and came across this video when I saw Nightblade had Shadow and Blood magic. Does it fulfill that dark sorcerer/warlock fantasy or is more of a description of generic magic?
its pretty dark, try it out!
Ok ok, cool and all but you forgot the most important thing luck! What motifs are you using for that great looking character?
PS: great guide, because of you my mount feels like sonic now!
haha glad to hear it!
Whats the dps you get with this build?
I save up my tri star potions because they do all three and sell the cheap ones when i max out 😂
Trying to follow your Magicka Templar guide and getting confused how is pillar of nirn supposed to crock if there's only four pieces on at a time because u got 1 dagger and 1 greatsword on front and back and when u switch bars u only have 4 pieces out of 5
Backbar is 5 pieces cus its a 2 hand weapon so it counts as 2 pieces
@@LuckyGhostESO ok thank u i was really confused
So what should I use for a Double Staff Build i cant find it in the Written Guide
replace deadly cloak with inner light and run staff front bar
I just returned did they chnage merciless resolve so you know d9nt need to pre cast it only get 5 light attacks and then just shoot ? Or am i tripping
You're right - no pre-cast needed
@@stuPeteful awesome.change
I noticed no sap Essence that provides major brut and sorc isn't this important or
I had it instead of Barber Trap (before I leveled up Undaunted) - nice ability to have but it burns tons of mana
It would be nice if you had a crafted sets option too, included in gear.
It’s on the website in the description. I used it before I got the dungeon gear and it is pretty good
@@skunky6677 TX but only 1 crafted set is listed, the other is still overland.
@@jimfrostpreaches Both Order’s Wrath and Law Of Julianos are crafted sets. They are listed as alternatives, but I see what you mean
it works for pvp?
Sorrow + pillars of nirn does it work?
yeah its fine, but replace sorrow asap. its old, nerfed and no one uses it anymore . Orders wrath is better if you want something crafted
@@LuckyGhostESO
I will. Thank you 👍
It's 'whirlpool' of water, not whirlwind.
only if you don't believe
Why do all these "solo" builds that people post call for gear that comes from dungeons?
as with all my guides, the guide provides gear options for people who wont do dungeons as well, check out the written guide
You don't have to farm dungeon sets if you don't want to, but you're not going to find too many good overland sets that will help you solo harder content. Although, I guess you could mix Hunding’s or Julianos with Briarheart and be fine soloing base game vet dungeons for the sets.
Im not getting the right skills
Why are all of your solo builds just the meta dps setups?
