What are the best solo builds for Nightblades in ESO?

MMORPGs are multiplayer heavy games by the very definition of the genre. However, not all of us enjoy depending on other players to tackle the content of these games. For some players, the appeal of MMORPGs is the idea of a consistent world where you can live your adventures by yourself, while other players go about their own lives all around you.

ESO is a game that really values the solo player. A huge majority of the content of the game can be finished as a solo player, with enough skill and the right combination of gear and abilities, of course. Here we will take a look at some of the best builds for solo Nightblades in ESO.

5. The Raven

Starting our list in grand style, The Raven is a solo Stamina Nightblade build that uses this class to its full potential, mixing the DPS and tank capabilities of the Nightblade. When you successfully combine durability with damage output, that is when you know you got a serious solo setup, and this build is just that.

What The Raven Excels at:

• Can deal with tankier enemies due to its very high Offensive Penetration;
• Very high sustain to your Health and Stamina provided by high Recovery values;
• Constant self healing provided by the Ring of the Pale Order;
• Very fast to clear big groups of enemies using the Thunderous Volley Bow;
• Additional self healing with Critical Strikes while using the Briarheart set.
