Welcome to the Magicka Nightblade Vampire Build “Bloodlust” for ESO (Elder Scrolls Online). Make sure to bookmark the link as I will keep updating the build for each new Update of ESO.

This build is focused on a true Vampire experience. Nightblades in combination with Vampire make for the best experience in ESO (Elder Scrolls Online).

Vampires have the drawback of a huge cost increase on all non-Vampire abilities, therefore the False God’s Devotion set can really make a huge difference to help with sustain. In addition, we use the set Bahraha’s Curse that will constantly proc and heal us for the damage caused which is nice. For the Monster Set we go with the Nerien’eth Monster Set that casts a Crystal that explodes at the targets area.
