@Alcast I'm already trying to make a warden mag dd build and so I've a question regarding your Ice & Fire build.. There is one point I don't know, better said I don't understand.. you prefer 5 pcs moondancer over a 3 md / 2 monster combination also for solo, specially vma...
why? the 5pcs bonus only counts when activating a synergy... the only logical explaination is that blue netch counts as synergy..
hopefully this is the answer, else I've no idea why, and anything else doesn't make sense for me at the moment..
I agree, I'm more than a little nervous about rebuilding my tank with such a reliance on others for his stamina.ArnoTerranova wrote: »Wow thank you Alcast, this is huge contribution you give us here.
A quick question about the DK tank, or 2 in fact.
- I understand the "maximizing life" strategy is worth now since new changes in CP system, especially with the synergy with shields. But is it really that good in trials? Don't you depend too much on others to restore ressources ? I feel more comfortable to play with 35k life and 30k vigor and 17k magicka when group is sloppy, it's easier to manage resources.
FWIW, Woeler's latest tank build utilises Sturdy all round.- While I understand the infused trait helps you get more health, why not go all for sturdy on your gear to reduce block cost. Its is so costly with the new CP system (more than 50 are not that rewarding).?
we have to thank for your work and the builds..
Ilambris can also be a joice, personally I like it more than grothdarr
Thanks for all the work on this thread.
Can I ask you what race would be best for Stamblade? Currently running a build similar to your stam sorc 2 hander due to broken DW weaving on console. I'm currently an Orc but would like to know which race would optimal for PVE(don't really PVP at all). Running 5 hunding and spriggan with heavy kragh shoulder. Also currently have 68% crit with Major Savagery up.

And if you are still looking into templar tanking, try 5 seducer 5 worm (or SPC) with troll king or Rekugamz (will never spell that right...). So many outgoing heals that you could probably keep the squishy stam DPS alive through all but one shots, and an AOE stam return proc on healing done is insanely helpful.

Question however is how the 2h build compares to the DW build in terms of mitigation?
DocFrost72 wrote: »@Alcast I don't know how many tarets troll king applies to, actually. I'll mess around with it and let you know what I find, but I imagine where it has no mentioned GCD on the tool tip that it works on any target healed under 60%. Extended ritual works great for this, especially on a tank build.
If you decide to try the Sentinel set, keep in mind that it only procs if you actually heal the target (think gossamer's dodge chance effect). If you use this and SPC, your heals are buffing your teammates most of the time. That, and PotL gives you great ultimate generation and debuffs with minor breach and fracture.
Also, empowering sweep can make you very tanky during dangerous phases, and if you choose to use automated defense instead of seducer, I imagine you could get a pretty nice uptime for the major aegis (though probably not worth the loss of warhorn).
@Alcast Can you post the rotation for your magsorc no pet build? I don't see it on the website.

Hey! Ye thats the weak point for me atm. DW has 25% more damage mitigation. That is why i usually still recommend running dualwield setup, especially for the new trial.
Thanks for the advice! I'm at the motion of levelling both DW and 2H at the same time with DW taking priority for the moment.
Could there also be ways to resolve the lacking mitigation around 2h in single-target fights? Or are they completely lacking in that department that they shouldn't be considered? I've more or less seen very little 2h stamina builds running around for PvE except this one.
Edit: Corrected a few things!
@Alcast
are you aware your site is redirecting hits to your Wordpress WP-Admin page?
have you got a redirect set up on www.alcasthq.com to point requests as a permanent 301 forwarder to that URL? if you remove everything after the .com it goes to the site fine, but making a http-get req to *.alcasthq.com redirects back to wp-admin here -> https://alcasthq.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https://alcasthq.com/wp-admin/&reauth=1

How does your current setup (Shock front bar/Inferno+Blockade back bar) compares to old setup (Inferno+blockade front bar/Shock back bar)? I've always completely adored the rotation with blockade on front bar.
Just wanted to say thanks for the vids and guides they give a lot of insight to me as a new player.

My problem with these guides is that they are worth nothing to a new player, let me tell you why, i'm a fairly new player and my first end game char is a stam sorc, i've found the build on deltia's gaming and it helped me a lot as a new player because it was very detailed in my progression through the game with the skills, passive and ability bar progression through certain levels, why are you people don't do ability bar progression on each class? do you have a clue how hard is for a new player that's looking for a guide to actually get his way through the game randomly using skills and choosing passives? these guides are useless for new players, think about that when you're making the next guide and take a look at how a guide should look: http://deltiasgaming.com/eso-stamina-sorcerer-dps-build/. Too bad is outdated when it comes to champion points and had to look at your guide for that. I'm not saying that your guides are not good or useless, only that they are useless for new players. Thank you.

I do understand that ye.
I am planning on creating Leveling Guides for Builds in the future. But unlike others, I DO have to attend university fulltime next to this. For others ESO is their fulltime job so they can invest way more time into this then I can
Why are you using dual lightNing staves with ilambris monster set? Should we not use inferno back bar for blockade of fire? Summoner sorc that is.

Hi Alqast,
I see this is Vanas, not yours. But do you know why doesn't she use Healer's Habit set? It gives 8% more healing. It could be instead of Karegnar's Hope, for example. I found Healer's Habit not so long ago in the market and thought it was a must have for every healer, until I saw this build (which seems very well done).
Of course, in the end you should use whatever suits you better, but I'm interesting in why wouldn't Vanas (or you) choose Healer's Habit.
Thanks!
