Back to the game after a break. Any recommendations on new sets for a stamblade? I'm already running Red Mountain with Nerineth's monster set (definitely want to replace that bit). The sets seem interesting from the limited drops I've received, but nothing I've felt the need to grind for.
I run bow + DW, if that helps.

    Ummm Velidreth...selene and krag are far far better than nerenith on a stamblade.

    I'm sure that's true. That just happens to be the only Monster helm I got to drop prior to 1tam. It wasn't really a conscious decision to use that :/

    Now they drop 100% of the time on hardmode. So it's easy farming. (NOT cradle though) krag is stupidly easy to farm. Takes 15 mins with a half decent group. Selene hits harder though and still just as easy to farm.

    From the NBs I have duelled and who beat me, I would say:

    Velidreth / Widowmaker / Viper (requires poison use)
    Tremorscale / Black Rose / Viper (requires 1H + S, aka Sypher / Fengrush builds)

    You might use Red Mountain instead of Widowmaker. That kind of makes Flurry mandatory to trigger it frequently.

    Spriggan's Thorns is another option that people appear to rate highly.

    I'm personally fond of Skoria, because unlike Velidreth or Selene, it's always on target. I do not recommend Selene, since it often misses.

    Obviously these are PvP options.

    I think Deltia has a video comparing Velidreth and Kragh specifically.

    Good tips. Thanks guys.
    Velidreth / Widowmaker / Viper
    That sounds promising. Going to put something together using those I think.

    Just go full banana, wacko from funky town; 5 piece black rose, 5 piece vipers, 2 piece tremorscale. Then be the radish that you are and 1 hit everyone in pvp

    I.... don't even know what you're trying to say.
    I don't really PvP, if you're complaining about people using those sets :|
