the above mentioned gear sets are good for dps, but not balanced between dps and sustain, so it may make you a good ganker, but not a great player generally.

How would u set up a build? All I ever see are gank builds posted for pvp. I don't see stamblade going toe to toe with anyone. It's more of an attack and escape and kill whoever broke off from the herd

For the past week, I've been roling with:
5x Eternal Hunt
5x Skirmisher
1x Molag

I'm starting to fall in love with this Eternal Hunt set!

@sluice if you wouldn't mind sharing, how are your unbuffed stats with this setup (max stam, stam recovery, weapon damage)?

It looks like an interesting setup.

@rolandlu7prb18_ESO anyone with a high damage build can gank well. No gear setup will a player good, though. It's the well rounded gear setups which enable players who are already good to perform to the their capabilities.

My stamblade uses eternal hunt and Skirmisher to hit over 3100 unbuffed regen and 4200 buffed weapon damage. Elf regen op.

@HarpaxPT 9 trait crafted set. Hit up a major trade guild or prime time zone chat for a crafter if you don't know one.

This is by memory and not 100% precise, but it's close to my actual values.
I will validate by rechecking tonight.. I can post some screenshots as well if you guys want.

@sluice Thanks for sharing!

I've been leveling a stam nb alt and have been lucky enough to secure a 5 piece skirmisher set with jewelry. I already have a Kena shoulder I've been saving, and was debating whether I should pair that with a 5-piece of Hundings Rage or Eternal Hunt.

EH seemed to have a nice synergy with the dodge roll effect from skirmisher, but I had concerns that I'd be giving up too much weapon damage. On the flip side, I was also concerned about going with HR and potentially having stam recovery issues.

But those numbers you posted seem to be very nicely balanced, looks like I'll be giving Eternal Hunt a try. Thanks again!

It's a great Synergy. By dodge rolling you get:
-A rune that hits hard and immobilize!
-420 weapon damage for 5 seconds
-Major Expedition for 5 seconds (if on Bow bar..)
-Dodge an attack.


But trust me it's viable. I have much better sustain and survivability now than with my previous setup (see one of my other post in this thread) Also, the rune is great for finishing dodge roller spammer.

Note, if you are using a Kena like me, you will need to go with Skirmisher or Eternal hunt as your weapons.

I recommend going with 4x Well-Fitted and 3x Impenetrable.
That 20% dodge roll reduction from well-fitted will help a lot.
Also, be generous with Tumbling in your CP tree. I have 70 points in there.

Ouch that sounds painful. :< Looks like a balanced build between deeps and regen.

That's a good point about dodging attacks. In your opinion, is this dodge roll play style sufficient justification to drop Shuffle from my bar, or would you suggest keeping it on?

Shuffle and Vigor are like the top 2 "absolutely cannot go without them" skills for a stamina build.

@sluice Appreciate the honest feedback. Maybe I'll drop siphoning attacks from my bar and keep shuffle. If my stam regen is anything like yours, hopefully sustain won't be an issue.

@sluice most is a seekrit. I will say I use health + regen food, maelstrom 2h bar, back bar enchanted with the crafted dmg glyph, and a couple other key components.

Marksman is basicly the best stam sustain set in game for pvp. 2x stam regen bonuses + 5% reduced stam cost (works on every skill using stamina).

Is that a recent change? I tested Marksmen when it first came out and it didn't reduce my dodge costs.

Doesn't affect dodgeroll but skills (like vigor, rally, shuffle, sa, ambush). ^^

No! Not at all!

Nothing can warrant dropping Shuffle.
You may make a case about Double Take (Or the other Morph... I prefer Double take between to two, it's great when sneaking by as a Vampire, but off topic!), either way that 20% dodging from Double Take or Shuffle is huge!

Big plus if you are dodge rolling a lot, you will be even more evasive.

Seriously, regarding Shuffle, grab a friend from another faction and do this simple test:
-Don't pop shuffle, let him attack you with 10 consecutive light attacks.
-Pop shuffle, tell him to do 10 consecutive light attacks again.

You will be amazed with the results.

Without shuffle, when you get snare, what will you do without Shuffle?
Remember this game is called Elder Snares Online...

Shuffle and Vigor are like the top 2 "absolutely cannot go without them" skills for a stamina build.

Thanks for that, I'm going to try it out. How does it fare solo and 1vX/2vX?

I really like it.
The sustain is great. You have absolutely no excuse to go out of stamina with 2k + recovery and Siphoning Attacks.
(Even by dodge rolling a lot)

I'm used to playing with 1.3k recovery (+Siphoning Attacks), it was fine in 1v1 and most 1v2, but more than that and you were calling for trouble. It was mandatory to keep Siphoning Attacks up at all time.

I have much better survivability with my new setup (5x Eternal Hunt, 5x Skirmisher, 1x Molag) compare to my old (5x Hunding, 2x Leki, 3x Agility, 1x Bloodspawn).

Strictly 1v1 speaking, my old setup was better for initial Burst out of stealth (since higher base damage), but they feel just as good in 1v1, but different. The Rune is amazing for finishing opponent.


Overall eternal Hunt is really great to use offensively and Defensively and I don't think I will go back to my old Hunding anytime soon.

Gear? Stamblades dont't need gear. Just go to Cyrodiil naked and spam Incap. You will be fine.
