hundings rage and shieldbreaker armor sets for stamina nightblade

Bats0828 · September 2015

anyone here using the two armor sets for their nightblade? which one is better with the 5 pc bonus set? i am currently using bow and dual wield? should i go for the 5 pc bonus set of shield breaker and then 4 pc bonus for hundings since swords can be crafted in hundings rage? or if you have any other idea about what crafted armor sets that will be better combination for my stamina nightblade. thanks

My usual set up is 5x hundings rage, 4x morag tong and 2 shadow walker 2h/bow. big dmg but lacking on the stam regen. got the setup from kerviz when he still played. if I did any pve at all I would definitely replace 4 morag and 2 shadow walker with 2 molag kena and 3 agility and something else.

when all I see is shield stacking sorcs and magicka nightblades on the field, which happens very often, i switch to 5x shield breaker, 4x shadow walker 3 agility dw/2h. decent dmg and tons of stam regen. shield breaker does its job.

i dont run the 2 sets together because the strength of each set is in their 5 piece bonus.

i would like to try the more tankier willows path builds but i dont have s&b lvled at all =(

I'm using two armor sets. Stamina NB, Dual Wield/Bow. 5 piece "Powerful Onslaught" 4 piece "Ashen Grip". My build is PvP focused for groups, I found shield breaker 'meh' for group pvp.

what about 5 pc hundings rage for the armors and 4 pc ashens grip (2 pc armor and 2 weapons for dual wield to get the 4 pc bonus)? i am vet 14 at the moment and hopefully to hit vet 16 today. i don't have one of the better or best drop sets for rings, armor sets and weapons. i only buy what my gold can afford like crafted armor sets. i only play pvp with this character. and i am still using vet 6 armor set of hundings and vet 9 of shield breaker...

5pc Hundings is good as it will provide you with 299 Weapon Damage and some crit as well.

Most weapon damage stackers prior to 2.1 ran SWx2, MTx4, and HRx5.
Now the obvious choice is Venomx5, Agilx3, NMx3 or a mix match. Hundings will do you well until you get your drop set. Shieldbreaker is rather inferior to all the above when not fighting a magicka Sorc.

Hunding *5 and ashen *3/4 are never a wrong choice. Good overall armor since the launch of the game. I run as stamina hunding for ages if stamina build.

Currently I want to craft my V16 gear and still wonder should I, again, do hunding *5 and 3* ashen (+3 agility). I also want something else but I don't have the PvE gear (I do want it, but don't want to do pledges anymore. it's so boring). I used not long ago Hunding *5 and shadow walker *5 and a master bow. But shadow don't get V16 so I drop that.

Although im a magicka build right now (as a Breton I though it to be better choice) I do miss my bow

. But must admit I do like running around as a bald vampire in a tuxedo suit trying to backstab people (fighting mobs) with impale
