Alternative setup for DK stam based

llSRRll · June 2016

I was thinking about tinkering with this Stam DK PvP armor set up let me know what you guys think: I use Sword and Shield and Bow

Head: Hist Bark- Reinforced, Heavy
Shoulders: Marksman- Reinforced, Heavy
Chest: Hist- Reinforced, Heavy
Hands- Lamea- Impen, Light
Waist- Lamea- Impen, Medium
Legs- Lamea- Reinforced, Heavy
Feet- Hist- Reinforced, Heavy
Neck- Marksman
Rings- Marksman x2
Mace- Defending
Shield- Reinforced
Bow- Marksman

I will have 5 Hist set under sword and shield, 5 Marksman under Bow, and 3 Lemea at all times. I will be using this in Daily Undaunted Dungeons too so this is why so much Reinforced.

You may enjoy reinforced in pve content, however, in pvp I'm a strong believer in wearing full impenetrable. Most classes have around 50% crit chance and if they have a lot of champion points maxing their crit damage multiplier, you are the target they look for. You can try running that setup and see how it goes, but I warn you that you might throw your controller when you get hit with a 16k ultimate/snipe/heavy attack/uppercut/executioner and die instantly. Go watch a video showcasing the Bullseye Stamina Dk build. It has people reading their death recap before they even realize they are dead... Lol

OP decent mixed set up. I'd say drop hist bark for something else. Hist bark buff dosent stack with shuffle and it seems you are running a stam DK. Stam DK has no problems running and/or keeping up shuffle. You can get far better 5 piece bonuses than hist bark.

Also you dont really need reinforced on gear slots for daily undaunted pledges. Thyre easy enough to do. I run 5 black rose and 5 fasallas with full impen and all hakeijos and I can tank vetICP or vetWGT. This is not even PvE gear. Its for PvP support tank. Granted I am well above cap but just to let you know, reinforced is not really required unless u intend to tank trials etc.

And I think Nirnhoned even outperforms reinforced for all but medium chests... but still it's not worth it. Infused, well-fitted, or impen are always the way to go.

I was actually thinking about Black Rose. I did switch to everything but my Shield to Impen. I went with Hist bc I like the 20% invasion while blocking and I do block a lot. This is what I settled on:

Head- Hist Bark, Heavy, Impen, Hakeijo, Gold
Shoulders- Song of Lamea, Heavy, Impen, Hakeijo, Gold
Chest- Hist Bark, Heavy, Impen, Hakeijo, Gold
Hands- Song of Lamea, Light, Impen, Hakeijo, Gold
Waist- Marksman, Medium, Impen, Hakeijo, Gold
Legs- Song of Lamea, Heavy, Impen, Hakeijo, Gold
Feet- Hist Bark, Heavy, Impen, Hakeijo, Gold
Sword- Hist Bark, Defending, Does 2000 Magic Damage and Heals for 918, Gold
Shield- Hist Bark, Reinforced, Hakeijo, Gold
Bow- Marksman, Sharpened, Reduces Targets Armor and Spell Resistance, Gold
Neck- Marksman, Health Regan, Gold
Ring- Marksman, Health Regan, Gold
Ring- Marksman, Health Regan, Gold

With this setup I had to put 10 Attribute points in to health and the rest into stam in order to achieve 25k health and 29k stam. I also have 16k magika. With 17 points into heavy armor focus I have 32k in both spell and phsy resistance and just over 3k crit resistance. I only have about 75 champion points into crit resistance bc I only have 371 but will put the whole 100 once I get them. I use the thief Mundus which under my bow I have 43% magic crit and 49% weapon crit with 1400 spell damage and 1550 weapon damage. Once proc'd with Molton weapons I have 1900 weapon damage. Have not tried in Cyrodiil yet but will today to give it a test run.

you arent going to kill anything. unless this is a tank build then its not the best set up either

So I ran it today in IC today and was surprised how effect this was. I was not only able to kill people with more CP than I have but I seemed to be quit hard to kill as well. This probably isnt the most mathmatical build but for my play style it works great!
