Help gearing up my stam sorc - crafted and overland sets ONLY please.

Bam_Bam · April 2017

Hi all. I've decided to give stam sorc a go and I can tell already it's going to be b00dy difficult to master. Although that might improve a bit if I can gear the bastid up properly.

At the moment i have 5 pieces of Hundings (med) 2 pieces Spriggans, 3 jewellery Spriggans. Weapons couldn't decide so opted for DW + 2H Night Mothers. (Forget VMSA weapons, never ever happening).

My stats are absolute gash. without food - stam = 26.4k health = 13.7k (!!!!! HAHAHAHA GTFO WTF!!!!???) and forget magicka (beyond laughable). I have no recovery but ok-ish weapon dmg. After eating bi-stat food my health is around 19.8k - that is nowhere near enough for Azura.

So what should I change to get a bit of sustain without sacrificing damage. I don't want to user a bow, proc sets etc. just stuff i can buy or make (I'm a 9-trait crafter, so I do have a use lol). And I want to use DW and 2H (would like 2H to be main weapon). Last but not least - currently a Redguard but was thinking maybe Orc?

So you absolutley dont wanna use a proc set? you're really hindering yourself cause everyone wears Heavy armor and runs Troll king anymore. 1 proc isn't considered a noob thing to do IMO, 2 proc sets is where it gets bad.

Well, you have some pretty strong stipulations here, as some of the best sets in the game are dungeon drops. Your setup is fine if all you want to do is use overland and crafted sets.

If you want more sustain try;

5x Spriggans
5x Eternal Hunt / 5x Marksman
2x Leki (DW)
1x Gold Sword of choosing

Pretty decent way to go without including dungeon sets or undaunted sets for a medium build. Although your healing will be subpar. I recommend looking into using dungeon and undaunted sets though. They're not all that awful to grind, minus weapons.

5 7th legion, 3 agility 4/3 nights silence --- s/b and 2h
if u wanted a better build the one i run on my stamplar sorc is 5 7th 5 trainee/hulk/marksman/viper some times if im feeling evil and then troll king, tremour, slime or my favorite on all my charas is blood spawn

@Dillpat offtopic but do you feel like you have the 7th legion 5 piece bonus procced pretty often? I'm trying to determine how often various weapon dmg bonus sets would be up in normal PVP play.

ofc it procs like spawn faster vs taking more dmg so it depends how much pressure u under, a mag or stamplar or stam sorc will proc it faster on you due to jabs and hurricane and boundless storm but i find it procs a nice amount personally.
