Hi all:
I just have started in pryd hib and have some doubts about the Nightshade,

¿what type of spec should I have in order to level fast?
¿Is it a good solo class? ¿Is it a class that can group "easily"?

thanks for answers in advance.

Best spec for levelling is full Piece, rest Envenom. You should figure out your end spec though, because most stop at 35ish, otherwise you'll need to respec :)

Is it a good solo class?
Its not the best, but with Envenom you can do Task Dungeons fairly easily.

Is it a class that can group "easily"?
Its not easy no, but if peeps are levelling and have space, most will let you join if it doesn't cause problems.

Frozodo: sry mate, I am not talking about pl, just if its a class that can group and be useful and also what's the best spec to level. Anyway, thanks for the help :)

Ryuno: thanks for the answer... just another question, how is Celtic Dual spec? is it better to be Pierce (I guess is better).

Celtic Dual has good styles, but to be most effective you would need to increase Celtic Dual and weapon (Pierce or Blades). Tbh on my NS I tried CD and Pierce, and also Pierce + Envenom, and I found it much quicker with envenom. The dot and wep skill/con debuff helps alot on mobs :)

i got two rr5+ ns and still i reckon it aint a easy solo class for pve, if u got to do PvE and want max amount of spec pts dont spec stealth until u r lvl 48 which then makes it hard for u to solo. aim for a rr5 spec to begin with will help u a bit summat like

35stealth
36Piercer
32 Env
50 CS
21 CD

This is with auto train in stealth only thign is with high CS u will have to do their styles to do max amount of dmg but hey good for rvr with Sidestun, okay decent debuffs, dots :D

AS Ryuno said most people if they miss a tank u might get in otherwise it will be a long way to 50 but hey it is worth it. RvR side i cant see u run in normal grps prolly only Stealth grp if u r into that sort if not then u will pleased with the choice of a ns:d

Indeed, the CS line is good, PVE makes a good practice because you can pull the mob with a DD spell and then run away a bit, stealth and perform the most devestating style any assassin has : Perforate Artery. Mobs will be dead in seconds when you can open with this style.

For RVR , Nightshades are genuinly a solo class. It means you won't have to wait for a group to be set to go out and rvr. It's a good class for casual play , although the stealtherworld is the most competative in my opinion. It makes it hard in the beginning, but its a good challenge and alot of fun to be able to sneak around and surprise your opponent.

So, basically... go pierce / envenom till level 20 then respec to CS as at lvl 21 you will get the imfamous Perforate Artery style.

It will be a lonely journey to get to 50, but if you play around a bit with the pulling and the PA's it should make it alot more fun :)
Tasks and instant-dungeons are your friend.

Good luck mate :)

With a bot I would just spec pierce and Cs tbh, and autotrain stealth. Speccing envenom requires you to have either a large supply of pre-envenomed weapons, or waiting 10 seconds after each mob to reapply.
With a botted shade you'll kill mobs so fast, that the envenom wait will lower your xp over time quite a bit.
If you haven't got a bot, speccing envenom is recommended.
