Stam NB tips and advice needed.

Hi guys, I want to run a Stam Nb for PvP, my current idea is to use a bow and try and increase my crit rating as high as possible for some solid burst damage followed by a quick retreat and repeat. However I'm not sure whether I should go for 2 handed or duel wield. Does anybody have any advice on what I should focus on, or just any tips generally?

Keep_Door✭✭✭✭✭Personally on my stam NB i run bow./2h for rally and executioner. if it wasnt for those 2 abilitys i would duel wield.i know you can get the brutality buff from flying blade in the duel wield skill tree but not along with a HoT like rally.2 -
Sunburnt_Penguin✭✭✭✭✭Race:
In your case, Khajit is probably the best options if crit% is not maxed at 100% (not sure on this tbh). If it is, I'd suggest Bosmer but for any other StamNBs I'd recommend Redguard & Imperial as well.
2H complements a Bow really well:
1. Rally (+20% damage),
2. Camo Hunter (+8% crit and +X damage if they're WW or Vamp),
3. Relentless Focus (+8% damage),
4. Shadow Cloak (guarantees a crit),
5. Piercing Mark (optional but does reduce armour),
6. Focused Aim
7. Shadow Cloak
8. Ambush to close gap
9. Shadow Cloak
10. Wrecking Blow w, animation cancel
11. If >50% Surprise Attack and Mass Hysteria, repeat
12. Executioner @ <50% health until dead
13. Rapid Manoeuvre
14. Shadow Cloak
15. Leg it.
That's pretty much all you'd need tbh. Maybe throw Razor Caltrops in there somewhere just to reduce their movement if they look like they're pesky dodge-rollers or cloakers (althoigh if you've marked them you'll be fine).
DW can be levelled as well but it's typically more of a 1vX kind of build which doesn't seem like what you're intended to do it. For levelling in PvE though I definitely recommend it as Tornado is great.
Armour/Weapons:
All medium 5x HRage & 3x NMGaze will give you the most damage and crit. However, NSilence does offer fantastic speed whilst in stealth so if you feel that your damage and crit is okay without the preferred set, you may want to try this out. It saved me so many times at a lower level.
Divines is probably the best trait for you to boost your burst damage by either buffing your weapon damage, crit% or crit damage - depending on what you choose.
Probably best to use a sharpened bow for the penetration as this will be your opener and a precise sword for the added crit and weapon damage.

KPC13✭✭Thank you so much! I'll stick to levelling Two handed then and follow what you suggested since it seems like exactly how I imagined playing this build.0

✭✭Try this:
Snipe (whatever morph). While chanelling, press a medium/heavy attack. Release them when the arrow from snipe goes away and then fire Silver Shards (FG skill) or Poison InjectionSarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
Used the wrong method with the wrong technique0 -

Once you've levelled and your build is largely ready to go, test out your damage from stealth on some mammoths using the different Mundus Stones to see which hits the hardest.Thank you so much! I'll stick to levelling Two handed then and follow what you suggested since it seems like exactly how I imagined playing this build.0 -
2h and duel wield is all you need bruh why be a bowtard when you can get up close and personal all you need is ninja speed then anything is possible.

Weapon Damage and Max Stamina is typically more desirable for PVP because Damage Shields (which are rampant in Cyrodiil) cannot be crit upon.
If you want to main Bow, 2H is a good complimentary weapon because of the last skill in it's tree. When morphed to rally you get 20% increased Weapon damage and a Heal over Time effect.1 -
