Need direction-Lazy man's NB build?

I say lazy man's build because I mainly PvE due to real life responsibilities (kids, job, limited playtime). I've currently got a Templar Bow/Toothpic build running that works great but being a Vamp for him just doesnt bring much to the table so I was thinking (and hearing in chat) that the vamp NB rather shines.

I'm open for simple idea's that leads to a simple style of running one that I wont have to micromanage every point and enchant just to survive a normal 3 mob pull. I would like to take him Vamp as soon as I think I could do the questline for it, my Templar had no issues and didnt even need to kite at 19.

I've got a Cat built now sitting at level 6, running duel daggers all medium armor.

Thanks :) and may the coffee flow ever in your flavor <laughs>

Here's my 2 cents running my NB.  There's two questions that I neded to answer that really unlocked NB for me. Also will kinda tell what build you might be more interested in. 

1.  What role are you going to play?  From my experience and from what I've read on forums NB are really good when focused on one role than trying to be jack of all trades.  They can do it but honing it down yields better build development.  Tameriel foundry has a lot of NB vamp builds out there if you're looking dps. 

2.  Decide if you going full magicka or full stamina. For the longest time I tried to straddle both, but when i committed fully into ine or the other I saw a huge turnaround. Right now I'm running all out stamina. I used to do the 49 health but found if I could get my static heal to 2.7k I could throw the rest into stamina. I'm fact you'll start seeing a lot of that kind of setups on the reddit and other forums.   As a caveat I ran a full magicka crit build in AvA and had a blast, but that went back to roles, that was dps.  Right now I tank for my vet group as a full medium evasion tank and having a blast. 

For the vamp quest run bow build from what I've been told. Venom arrow, magnum shot, etc...

Hope that helps. I'm no expert by any means but recently had this lightbulb moment with my NB and has made all the difference for me..

I ran the vamp quest at lvl 15 with my NB using shield and board,  used the charge to go in and then vamp skill and was pretty easy....

 

from experience, and well my NB is only lvl 26 so its not to extensive,  I find they are not naturel aoe dps,  and that can make mob killing a bit harder,  but I've manage to pull aggro on 6-7 targets and manage to kill then single target fast enough that it didn't matter

I had thought of setting her up with a destroy staff and use the aoe from that to balance it out, but haven't played with her enough to figure it out
