Set questions, stamDk

I'm looking at knights errands mail which increases s&b abilities by 200, while sets like the ravager, veiled heritance or 7th legion brute receive a +- 400 wd buff.
Would the latter sets be a better choice than KeM? I'm a little confused by this.

Anyone? I'm in the middle of farming KeM but if it isn't worth it I'd might as well stop.

Knights errant only works on S/B but it heals you also. It's kind of like VDSA master weapons S/B, but in a 5 piece.

I know it only works for s&b, right now I'm using 5p 7th legion brute which has a 10% chance when being hit it increases my wd by 400 and heals me for x amount, my question really was if I was better of using 7th legion because of the 400 wd increase or knights errands mail for the 200 increase to s&b abilities

I think it depends on how you play. KeM is omitting dmg from your claw/crit rush/ult/etc. while the others would actually buff all your abilities. If you don't use any DPS skills other than sw/b skills KeM would be fine. But if you rely on other skills like Crit Rush/Execute you'd be better off in a different set.

Kem is for pure snb builds but you get a heal and damage boost for all your snb moves instead of an uncontrollable proc.

Ive wanted to try Kem, black rose and tremor for a long time but havnt gotten lucky with 1handed drops.

In non cp I run werewolfhide jewelry/weapons
S&B and 2H sword.
2 weap dmg, 1 block cost

7pc HA 2 pc bloodspawn, black rose/7th legion.

Still not sure which I prefer. Of the two. Black rose for that sustain! Or 7th for the heal/dmg.

7th legion has no cooldown (well, 1s cooldown) If you are gettig hit enough it is up all the time. Problem is it has a useless 125 health regen in there... The extra weapon dmg will give you increased healing from all your skills tho as well.

With some sturdy pieces, shuffle, vigor, igneous, volatile armor, S&B reflect (and 7th legion procs) you can take a lot of dmg. Shield ultimate in there (which you can basically spam with werewolf hide and bloodspawn).

Dmg comes from reverb bash and animation canceled ransacks. Crit rush, take flight and executioner to finish em off.

I still cant decide on a mundus though. Ritual, tower or warrior. I know lots of people dont like tower but the extra stam gets a 12% increase plus the 4% stam return (redguard) and 5% (igneous) are based on max stam.

PS: I only have like 500 stam regen but with ulti spam, 7HA and ingeneous/redguard passive I have no sustain issues.

Edit: Knights errant does not get buffed by major brutality. As a dk you will get hit so much that 7th is almost always up. Imho 7th is superior. (500*1.2= 600 weapon dmg vs 200). The healing u get from both sets is similar.

If you want max weapon damage I would try Fury

It's good, I've been running that for months now.

Also, armor master -bloodspawn works pretty good (46k resist when it procs). Any damage monster set will for well also.

You can even use it together with reactive.

Instead of heavy attacks restoring 50% more stamina, the heavy armor passive is being reduced to 25% more restored so that will hit sustain if you rely on heavy attacks.

This nerf is to much I have tested it on test... I would like to see 35% first then re-evaluate....
