The Magicka Nightblade class in The Elder Scrolls Online is a great choice for those PvP players that would like to deal a massive amount of damage, disappear from sight, and be able to survive for as long as possible. The class is in an excellent place right now, and this is an all-purpose build for battlegrounds, Cyrodiil, and the Imperial City.
