Stamsorc PVP Help

Sixth
Sixth
✭✭✭
Only ever played a Magsorc, Stamsorc seems fun for small groups and dueling. I wanna run DW as my main bar and 2H as a buff bar.
Current bar set up looks like this:

DW: Steel Tornado (Weaker execute to use), Rending Slashes, Rapid Strikes, Vigor, and Streak as my gap closer
2H: Executioner, Hurricane, Critical Surge, Caltrops and AVA speed buff

The problem Im running into ATM is that Streak is really buggy. So I was thinking of slotting Stampede on my 2H bar and using Steel Tornado as my execute even though its weaker.
Daggerfall Covenant
Rank 17 Eightt: CP160 StamBlade
Rank 15 Sixthh: CP 160 StamSorc
f**k magicka characters

maybe I'm zerging... maybe I'm running solo.... play how you wanna, pst for the 1v1

    Streak is a defensive move, using it as a gap closer is possible but really not as effective as using crit rush, which does good damage and is a gap closer.

    Also, you can slot overload and throw caltrops crit surge and rapids on your overload bar. Frees up a lot of space.

    Use crit rush. Combine with a stam poison gives you a really good advantage.
    Sarcasm 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 technique

    I've been rolling with DW/2H...Crit Rush as gap closer then swap to DW for Rending Slashes and Rapid Strikes. Been using Rune Cage as CC but not quite sure I'm going to stick with it. Also running all medium...because I'm a masochist apparently...

    Rune cage is sneaky good on a dw stam sorc since nothing in your dw kit is gonna break it.

    Yeah it has been pretty nice when I toss it on someone who can't break it immediately. I used to main a NB so I'm used to fear spamming lol....having a blast with Stam sorc thus far.

    Rune cage is great for dueling mag dks, mag temps, tanks. However, it has limited usefulness in open world, sadly. Dodge rollers will dodge it every time. In my experience, it's better to use that magicka for a dark deal or streak. Plus, I like to run bound armor so my bars are short on space, even with overload utility bar.
    Some say speed kills, I hope to be proof of that.

    @Sixth if you run 2h, run rally. You will see a huge increase in survivability. Caltrops and rapids can go on your overload bar, giving you room for necessities like dark deal, shuffle, rally. Steel tornado has limited uses in solo/small group play. Also, in no-cp it will burn your Stam too quickly.
