    @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.

    I have every character level 50, both a magicka and stamina version.
