Gear and Item Set Info
For the gear i like to use my 2 heavy as armor and pants because they are the strongest parts giving you the most armor bonus capable to any other place on the body, i also trait them with impen to protect from criticals.
the rest of the armor is all medium traited with divine increasing your mundus stone, which will be the warrior for damage upgrade.
i prefer two swords over axe and mace because you have armor debuffs and dot skills you mines well stack your damage, however i trait both with defensive trait to stay on the beefy side, dont worry your damage is going to be very high following my build to a T.
The bow i actually use penitration trait because its your initial start for damage, but mostly your buff line.
Now to the actually gear, i run 5 piece Hunding rage, and 4 piece nightmothers.
Doesn't really matter how you do this because the bonus will be the same, just be sure they are all upgraded to the same color, because even if all but one is blue, and that one green piece is there, it scales to the weakest item, so itll be like its all green.
A bonus to why i prefer dual wield over 2h because of extra set piece, blood craze i prefer over rally because it offers a heal almost as good, but a dot as well, opposed to a damage boost. Reason being we get a damage boost from ambush, even thow its only for next attack only its not a big deal because the burst is hard enough to drop most players. Also the debuff from surprise attack helps heaps.
Lastly to jewlery get 3 piece of agility or lekis.
General Info
dual wield bar offers bufff, de buffs, dot (damage over time), hot (heal over time) hard cc(character control) and good dps.
bow bar offers dot, hard cc, hard heal, hot, buffs, and resource return.
I alway run with bow up first in cyrodiil being because i want to always be sure my shuffle is active, my vigor is at the ready, you will want to hit this at the start of the battle its a hot so even if your hp is full the ability is at cast and working the second your hit.
as i run with shuffle on always, i also start off with posion enjection because its a good dot. So to start a fight probably in the situation of being jumped on your shuffle was ready, your vigor is hit and hot going as hit and they are suffering dot from posion enjection, now swap.
in the dual wield we start with ambush its a cap closer and keeps you on your enemy, also it offers 20% dmg buff for next attack, this will be followed by usually blood craze, stacking dot with posion enjection suffer two dots now and the hots stack as well, blood craze has dot and hot. and this with vigor and posion enjection is beautiful.
next we will work our surprise attack that is a hard hitting spamable dps move which graciously gives a nice 5200 debuff to enemy resistances.
say what you want i animation cancel, i hold the heavy attack button, when its fully charged right before it releases i hit surprise attack with it and throw a shield bash, this animation cancels all 3 into one and usually doing so once or twice they are ready to be toppled by killers blade which is a hard hitting exacution to low hp enemys offering a very nice instant heal because you might be fighting more then one :).
the main idea here of rotation is psn injection, ambush, blood craze, surprise attack, animation cancel (heavy attack, surprise attack, shield bash timed correctly, once or twice) followed by killers blade. Most will be dead.
mass hysteria is your hard cc to keep the pressure of you if needed or multiple attackers, draining shot is a hard cc to put your enemy down and give you a fat heal once the cc expired or they break out of it, like real fat instant heal is beautiful.
vigor is a obvious heal over time and shuffle increases our evasion giving us the better chance dodging what could make things bad for us.
siphoning strike helps keep that stam resource happy and plentyful just incase your against multiple people or a really good and strong opponent.
in jumping situations from stealth, start with a charged bow attack, hit psn injection, swap, ambush, surprise, animation cancel, killer blade.
the other skills of hots, buffs, and ccs are really there for multiple attackers, stronger enemys who know what they are doing, or mistakes you may make, or recovering from being ccd. they help you stay on top and control the fight and keep resources up, they dont really fit into a damage rotation like i mention above they are there as you feel you need to use it to stay in control, evening your odds.ow
Champion Point Tips
i actually only duel in black water and delete my toons around level 50, but id suggest going with things that cut down cost of cc break, stam cost to skills, increase regen of stam, physical and spell resistances. also heal recival increases.

Gear and Item Set Info
Non procsets:
Sets: Nightmother embrace is what I think the best set for ganking at this moment. It gives you plus 300 weapon dmg and it decreases the area you can be detected by 2meters. With this set ur able to stay in stealth while staying 0.1 meters behind him and u can stay in stealth 2 meters in front of him

Monster sets: kr'aghs mask/velidreth mask and molag kena shoulder.
weapon sets: Agility, you need to have full jewelry of agility with gold weapon dmg glyphs on it.
proc sets:
the anoying thing with this kinds of sets is that you have a permitted chance to get this extra 'dmg' depends on what the set does.
armor sets: defiler or viper
monster sets:selenes or velidreth
weapon sets: agility
me myself wouldn't use proc sets, if you prefer another proc set use that one. Still I prefer non proc sets.
General Info
Strategy: so what you wanna do before the gank/attack: fully buff up, use momentum first then switch bars use evasion(not really important) then use relentless focus. <--follow that order this has to do with the time it lasts. After u buffed up ur going to gank, what you wanna do is a light attack with your bow (this will increase your dmg a bit becouse of the bow passives) directly after the light attack you do poison injection witch does dmg over time, helps break true shields and makes it more easy to kill the enemy fast. (THE BOW ATTACKS SHOULD STUN THE ENEMY IF YOU DO IT IN STEALTH) so if you stunned the enemy switch to your two handed bar and use ambush witch increases dmg of next attack and that will be surprise attack witch decreases the enemy's physical resistance by 5000 then use executioner and the target should be dead.
Im using the warrior minded stone for a little extra dmg, crit should be between 45-55%
use a maul couse it ignores 20% of the enemy's physical resistance.
ALWAYS ATTACK FROM STEALTH
U don't need health food becouse the enemy will already be dead before he can do 1 point of dmg. Make sure u have stam food with Stam and mag recovery and max stam
VAMPIRE REQUIRED u need to be a vampire
possible skill: replace evasion with rapid maneuver
Eso Ambush Apply Stealth Dmg Build
weaknesses: in campaign it's tanks becouse his friends will be there before u got the chance to kill him.
Eso Ambush Apply Stealth Dmg Price
dueling it's: templers(fire dmg) sorcs and other nightblades(fighting other NB it's not really a weakness this duels can last more then a half hour becouse they will stay in stealth and it's not skill it's just the one that strikes first, this is really frustrating).
stay away from ballista's, they kill u 1/2 shots.
u should have 40+k Stam 10k health and 9k mag 2k Stam rec 200 health rec 1500 mag recovery
Flee: if u cant kill the enemy within 3/5 seconds flee. If u flee roll dodge switch to bow bar use shadowy disguise stay in stealth. If ur low health roll dodge use vigor then shadowy disguise.
