PvP DW Stam Nightblade Set Suggestions?

DrCraig · November 2015

I'm a Stam NB vr16, been running Shied Breaker+Agility+NightSilence on a great 2h+Bow set, but I want to switch things up.

I want to drop Shield Breaker and run a Dual Wield + 2h(buff) build for some meaaan burst, but I'm foggy in sets. I want Hundings, Agility is the only good jewelry set, ravager is heavy

, and there's a plethora of other sets littered around. So I'm confused on how to make a build excelling above what I previously ran.

Any Dual Wield Stam Builds?
What sets do you run/recommend for some high weapon dmg?
(Sheer venom probably is not happening

)

5 shield breaker, 2 endurance, 3 agility, 1 molag kena, 1 bloodspawn :-) And it's even quite cheap if you can get hold of the undaunted pieces! Make sure both dual wield weapons are agility so that's the bonus you loose when switching to the 2h buff bar.

DrCraig · November 2015

I was trying to drop shied breaker since I won't be running a bow. (It's best with a bow on hand in my opinion)
I DO have 16 shield breaker on hand for the buffs tho because the 4 piece is pretty good. Was looking to stack weapon dmg and tweak the recovery to preference later.

I run a stam nb at vet 11. Agility jewelery is definitely best bet. For more burst hundings is usually at the top of the list. There is a new set called briarrose in orsinium that heals off crits, which uou could possibly use to replace a heal for another damage buff. Sheer venom looks great, especially for a 2h because of executioner, i understand why you would be against that grind lol. If you use crit rush the maelstrom 2h gives it a good boost.

glavius · November 2015

Shield breaker is great even without having a bow!

ColtPython · November 2015

I'm using 5 shield breaker, 3 agility accessories, DW maces Night mother, 2h axe maelstrom, 2 molag kena.
And...
Werewolf!
The rotation is as follows:
Turn werewolf
LA, LA, LA, LA, repeat
Profit

Jitterbug · November 2015

5 hundings rage
4 night mothers gaze
3 agility

that is if you cant get the fancy monster stuff in post #2

Reeko · November 2015

Warrior mundus with all divines.

Lifecode666 · November 2015

1 x molag kena, x5 hundings rage, rest ashen grip.all increase mundus stone effect.
I did a cheap trick and bought all endurance accessories with stam and inserted wepondamage glyphs.
Now you change to serpent mundus stone.
So here is the fun part.
You get extra health from both ashen and endurance bonus, and stamina recovery from both accessories and the mundus stone.(serpent)around 1.6 k i think it was..

If i remember correct you get around 20k health, 33k stam and around 3200 wepondamage unbuffed(dawnbreaker on offensive bar).
Buffed with rally and in sneak it popps over 4k.

This is with tri food and all legendary gear.

ofc, there is many ways to go.
you can take warrior mundus and run agillety sett also....etc...

The post above - that's a good idea just for stam regen, I might think about doing it so thanks for the tips haha. I'm just running 5 hunding 4 night mother 3 agility all with robust 20k health (with food, yeah I know it's bad) 28k stam but only got vet 14 gear though and my weapon damage unbuffed is 3200 with dawn breaker. I like my build atm but it's just the stamina sustain that I need and it's only 1400 with the max health and stam recov food

Olen_Mikko · November 2015

5 Hunding's rage
4 night mothers gaze
3 shadow walker (necklace + ring + ring)

warrior mundus / weapon power jewelry.

olsborg · November 2015

5 hundings and 4 morkuldin (and 3 agility), it worked great , altho I found out I didnt like dw much, atleast not yet. I might try it again, but the gear setup worked great.

Kutsuu · November 2015

Personally I run 2h/2h... because I feel that Crit rush + executioner (with the usual surprise attack, cloak, and fear) gives me more consistent killing power than ambush + killer's blade in those slots. Killer's blade doesn't synergize with Mighty since it does magic damage, is reduced by Hardy, and even worse it's absorbed by Harness Magicka... so you take someone down to execute range with physical attacks that bypassed their magicka shield then spam your killer's blade into their magicka shield while they recover. Of course you could *not* do this if you're paying attention, but then a slot on your bar is useless against them. (ultimates will also hit their shield so it can be kind of a "whatever" situation for you).

Anyway I know you're asking for gear set advice on the DW/2h build. You can check out Sypher PK's DW/2h stam build that he just posted a couple of weeks ago. Seems pretty viable. He uses Willow's Path and Morkulden I believe for the sustain power, while still reaching 3500+ weapon damage.

I think NB in PVP makes a very strong case for drinks so you can get stam *and* magicka regen. Cloak is so incredibly powerful on a stamina NB, but you need magicka for Fear too... so having that 1000+ magicka regen with drink and Nightblade passives is a huge boon.

Of course you'd have to push your health up with other means at that point so it might not be as viable for you as it is for us imperials.

I thought I was the only one. Keep trying to force myself to like Ambush because it ignores terrain + empower but Crit Rush hits just too damn hard for me to give up lol.

I was really struggling with Vet maelstrom arena, because i had so low stamina regen, which is also very important in pvp and pledges
I got some ideas from ALCAST in terms of build and some tricks.
I had warrior mundus and agillety accessories(but 1 ring was healthy and the other magica.)
My mood was going down the toilet because i was tired of grinding sewers to get rings with stamina and at that time they costed like 300k+ for 1 ring.
So i bought endurance sett for like 3k each and innserted wepondamage glyph, then changed mundus to serpent aswell.
Best idea ever and cheap.
Another thing you can do for even more stam regen is to put werewolw ulti on offensive bar for shitloads of more stamregen.

Ofc it is fun to sometimes go full gankstyle and go full damagebuild, but if you get into a fight where it will last awhile you will simply die cause you run out of stamina..

...again it all depends on many factors like playstyle,cp points etc etc..

DrCraig · November 2015

Yo thanks for the input guys. I'm pretty proficient with my 2h/bow in small scale PvP and I think DW would be fun to try. I'll get a set up going

(And for those who posted about warrior stone, serpent is the more efficient choice. You can make up the damage, and then some, with weapon dmg enchantments on jewelry.

I have to ask because I been thinking about farming for Bloodspawn and Molag Kena what is your weapon damage and Stam regen.

3.2k weapon damage and 2.2 regen
34k stamina and near 50% crit it works great for my stamplar

Skinzz · November 2015

Im a stamina night blade red guard with 3800-4100 weapon damage and 2350 Stam regeneration all buffed of course. Using 5 piece hundings all legendary and v16 with divInes or infused, blood spawn + molag kena, 3 piece agility with a weapon damage enchant on the necklace and legendary duel wield night mother gaze maces with defending traits and weapon damage glyphs. Also warrior mundus stone. I'm using all legendary stamina enchants as well

ThePonzzz · November 2015

I'm doing the same 2 bars, DW DPS with a 2H buff bar. I'm using...

5 Hunding, 5 Briarheart (3 jewelry), 2 Night Mother (weapons). I'm only at 240 CP but I sit at 2800 weapon damage and 1500 stamina recovery after food (new blood recipe with health plus stamina recovery) but prebuff.

dday3six · November 2015

Personally I like:

3 Night's Silence (on DW)
1 Molag Kena
5 Willow's Path
3 Agility w/weapon enchants
5/1/1 Medium, Heavy, Light

I've been favoring a mix of sustain and weapon damage lately.

What is your regen and Weapon damage ?

Kutsuu · November 2015

Does the willow's 5 piece modify your final regen values including drink/etc, or only base regen?

I'll be honest I found out there seems to be a bug and on PS4 the 15% doesn't seem to calculate out quite like I thought it would. I discovered I had more regen from having WW slotted than having 5pc Willow's Path. Which doesn't make sense. I think it's something to do with Willow's not factoring in CP, racial passives, and drinks.

Sharee · November 2015

5x night's silence, 4x shield breaker (only have to swap belt to get 5 shield breaker if there's need), 3x endurance jewelry.
NS is a must(unless you're a vamp). Speed is life.

No idea why everyone is so fixated on agility jewelry. You still need some hitpoints, and you still need some stamina regen. If you get them on jewelry, you can then use other slots for damage or stamina.

Tankqull · November 2015

5 hundings/shieldbreaker depends on my moot
3 agilty
2 endurance
molag kena
bloodspawn
5/1/1
vamp (only for the stealth speed passive)

Jaronking · November 2015

I been Theorcrafting and You should be able to work this as a build.
5 Hounding Rage
1 Blood spawn head
1 Molag Kena Shoulder
2 shadow walker Rings(1 weapon damage enchanted1 Recovery)
1 Agility or Endurance necklace (Weapon damage enchants)
2 Agility/Endurance Swords

Serpent Mundes For that recovery.
