Thanks for the criticism, Curse! I'll try to address your points one by one, so this may run a bit long...
"First off level 75 is too high": I always play my builds until Lv. 70-ish, and assumed others did too. If that's not the case, then I'll change it to reflect that.
"You don't need Lockpicking": I didn't think I put any points in lockpicking on that spread. During the editing process I must have made at least 4 tries, some with Lockpick, some without, and probably linked to the wrong one. I'll fix that shortly.
"You don't need One-Handed": Point taken, I'll fix that.
"You're probably aware that chaos actually strengthens any enchantment its paired with": Actually, I was not. The TES Wiki page lead me to believe that was a glitch only affecting Absorb Health for some reason. You learn new stuff every day, I guess...
"You don't need Speech/Pickpocket": Yes, you do. First off, dual-casted Illusion spells use up a lot of magicka, and aren't always convenient. Second, this character needs Pickpocketing and Speech as part of the roleplaying aspect: the Nightblood Rogue is a silver-tongued thief who uses blood magic (Equilibrium) to compensate for her/his otherwise mediocre spellcasting abilities. She uses thief skills to make money and survive and magic to do damage. I thought all this had been made clear in the intro section. I understand it's a little long, but still. This build has a significant amount of RP involved. Pickpocket and Speech are crucial to that.
"Blood Maim and Storm Specter Sucker-Punch lack synergy": You'll have to explain what exactly is wrong with blood maim, because I think it works out fine. Point taken on the other one, though. I was actually planning on editing it before you brought it up.
"Tainted blood relies on a rather weak and useless once a day power": You say weak and useless, I say situational. If you lay down a wall spell in a hallway, then lay down Mora's Agony on the side closest to you, weaker melee enemies attempting to cross will be blocked and take poison damage, all while taking constant damage from the wall spell. It's definitely situational, but I don't see how it's useless.
"Arcane Fusilade and Guns of Alinor are essentially the same move": Fair enough, they're really only separate because I liked both names. I'll keep The Guns of Alinor, then add a not that this works with other dual-cast Destruction spells as variants.
"Hit and run isn't really a special move": I guess it is more of a tactic, innit? Fine.
"Come up with a better name besides unlimited powahhh": It's a Star Wars reference, as the link in the title makes clear. I can see how one could get confused, though, so I'll make that clearer.
I hope this makes things a little clearer for you. Thanks fore the excellent feedback, and expect a revision shortly!
