PROs: Great damage + good ulti regen + decent tankiness
CONs: A lot of buffs to keep up + lacks mobility


Unbuffed stats

SETS:

2 Medium 5 Heavy
Sets: Bloodspawn/Selene/Tremoscale/Troll King, Fury x5, Werewolf Hide x5 & vMSA 2h Axe
2h and s&b setup

I've been playing StamDK as my main for pvp-ing since 1.6 and enjoy s&b + 2h because of its robustness. For this patch I will be doing the same as well. Explaination to the sets used.

WHY HEAVY ARMOR? Some might say its a playstyle thing. No doubt some sets are really attractive for example waugh, spriggan, widowmaker. But being a DK u have natural defensive skills which amplifies when they all stacked up. therefore in this case ''blocking with s&b > dodge rolling with bow'' for solo playing dk.

WHY WEREWOLF HIDE AND FURY? Since StamDK lost some damage output from the big nerf of multiple proc sets running a mixture of ulti regen + damage gaining/outputing sets are essential for survival in cyrodiil. With fury a grand total of 4k weapon damage is achievable and with werewolf hide set I could drop bloodspawn to include a damage dealing 2 piece monster set. **Bloodspawn/Troll king/Tremoscale are really good substitutes too**

WHY SELENE? Simply because 2h + s&b build is a full melee build which allows selene to be used at its maximum potential (because it has only 15% proc chance on ONLY melee hits) Besides that, major fracture does give selene that extra boost in damage. **Tip to proc selene a bit easier is to include light attack and bash between skills

CP, FoodBuff & Mundus

Max HP + Max Stam foodbuff & Thief mundus
CP Setup is very straight forward and generic. Just make sure u have 30 points in to Atronach tree to get ripsto block passive

SKILLS

Some skills are interchangable
1. reverse slice FOR trap beast
2. venomous claw FOR noxious breath
3. volatile armor FOR wings
4. Reverb bash FOR Fossilized (Not recommendable if u cant sustain magicka)
5. Dawnbreaker+Corrosive armor FOR spell shield+Leap (All 4 ultis are interchangable)

STATS SHEET

Buffed stats with rally and minor brutality (Fury & Heavy armor wraith damage not included)

COMBACT GAMEPLAY

Combos & Tips - 9:40 onward in video. Highly recommendable!

LAST WORDS:

Feel free to gimme some constructive feedback and Cya in cyrodiil!

Thats what most ppl who use these sets think, but oh boy are they wrong:)

Build videos are so boring when people don't demonstrate by adding some clips of their build in action...

Rohaus

Also, I enjoy the proc sets because people actually die instead of getting healed to full.

yea i agree on the boring part. gimme sometime to get clips i havent been recording much since NB and templar are so much fun to play.

If you want to see the build in action, just go find any stamina player nowadays. 0/10 for innovation.

Another crap proc set build. Why do people even bother posting cheese builds like this. Dont expect much applause regarding this. "Here's a build where I can close my eyes and hit 1 button and kill people"

Good work OP.

One man poison is another man's meat. Blame the game dev for the sets not the players.
As u can see in the gameplay vid below at least 3/5 of the players(magicka&stamina) are using proc sets. If u want to be competitive in open world pvp as a SOLO STAM DK u need that extra burst from proc sets.
And as far as posting builds goes. If u did actually watch the whole build vid u would know that it covers more than just sets. So yeah i leave it as it is since it is your opinion.
Lastly, gameplay vid is OUT! watch it carefully too because i do hit more than 1 button to kill ppl

Nice vid, good combat etc, shame about the proccsets tho:P

Ankael07

Sure ''blame the devs for adding proc sets into the game'' yes but maybe you shouldnt be sharing your videos like its something to be proud of?

You must have spent weeks trying to theorycraft this.

Build would be stronger with Spriggan instead of Knight-Errant to boost the damage of your procs and all your other physical/poison/disease attacks instead of a piddly bonus to just your 1h/s abilities. Synergy just isn't too good with this setup, but I guess you can just cobble crap together with proc sets and do well.

I tried spriggan before this as well. I agree the armor pen is really good against heavy armor guys but the only prob i have with that set is I have to run med armor with it... In a 1v1 situation it would work just fine but in open world I dont think i can survive all the snipes/frags/sneaky NBs/beams etc etc.

Yo clay! yea gf indeed
As a dk proc set is really just too good to be left out. Since the nerf to wreckling blow + leap combo the only burst we have is Dawnbreaker atm. Corrosive is decent against heavy armor but other than that stamdk is lacking a lot in that department. Thus, we have to rely a lot on sets to give us that extra burst to finish off ppl. And by ppl I mean decent players not scrubs
All i wanna say is not shame in using proc sets because sometimes u just wanna kill ppl and move on quicky
