@izJordy
This is what I use and so far it works great.
I run 2h and bow
Bow Bar: Shuffle, Poison Injection, Piercing Mark, Dark Cloak, Siphoning Strikes Ultimate= Soul Tether
2H Bar: Surprise Attack, Executioner, Ambush, Rally, Mass Hysteria Ultimate= Soul Harvest
(Since I haven't done much pvp on this char I do not have vigor yet, but close so if you do have vigor I would put that in instead of mark)

Gear:
5 Hundings Rage
3 Ashen Grip
Stamina Enchants on all the pieces
Increase Wep dmg on bow
Unresistable damage on 2h
(I use greatsword with precise trait)

Almost forgot about jewelry, I run 3 endurance with all wep dmg enchants.
Mundus Stone:
Warrior

Magic and Stamina Drinks


With this setup I currently have 19k hp, 25k stam, 2k stamina regen and 3200 wep dmg
This works quite well for me. I have good magic and stamina regen, I am quick with the bow and have good dmg. The only downside is you only have 19k hp, but I have cloak to deal with that.

hmm, sounds legit, most of these things are something i use and works aswell, i just see stamblades with dual wield/2h sometimes no bow and it confuses me, wondering me if its better or not, anyways 2h and bow seems fine, and shuffle? why? is it really usefull? thats something i do not use, nor tried also ultimates why no dawnbreaker from the fighters guild? and whatatabout the buffs like camoflauge hunter?

I have a slightly-related question for you guys, if you have the time.

I haven't played since before Orsinium dropped, and I wanted to dust off my VR13 Altmer NB. However, I'm REALLY wanting to try a PvP melee Stamina build, primarily for single-target ganking and back-line skirmishing.

I'm wondering how noticeable the lack of racial Stamina passives will be. Part of me thinks the Altmer Magicka racials supplementing Surprise Attack + Crippling Grasp will be a nice complement to my melee toolkit, but I wanted to get some opinions on it before I dumped any more gold into a respect.

Thanks in advance, you guys!

Hmm , racials do make a difference but it's not the end all. I'm guessing you will see that but of dmg lossed, but i suppose the max mag/regen will help you with your cloaking. Stam nb's tend to focus on wpn dmg/stam regen so they don't have super high max stamina.

If your going for a ganking build, then i think you'd just focus on pure dmg.

You could try it, it will still work pretty good.
