I was wondering where most think a stamina based character should ideally be at unbuffed for PVP:

    Varies heavily on what gear sets you are using as well.

    For comparison, someone using the Marksmen Crest set may have higher tooltip damage with bow abilities even though they will have less weapon damage then tradition weapon damage stacking setup's. Weapon damage is not the only stat that is important. There are various sets that work well that do not offer much weapon damage.


    The ideal stamina based character would be running the following:
    -5 hunding rage
    -3 agility (weapon damage enchants)
    -Monster Set of your choice (most likely 1 bloodspawn / 1 molag kena)
    -Maelstrom Weapon or either Leki's Focus Weapon (to fit 2 piece weapon damage. Note only 1 monster set item can be worn if Leki's is being used)

    This is what i would class as the most ideal stamina based setup because so many people run this build setup.

    I personally think this setup is boring and would much rather run set's with more mechanics then raw stat's. For example shield breaker or eternal hunt.

    For numbers sake it would be 3k weapon damage unbuffed and 50% critical chance. Note these numbers are harder to achieve using set's with fun mechanics like the ones ive already listed compared to hundings rage or powerful assault (not as utilized but still a great set).

    Use whatever is comfortable to you. I know many people who pump ton's of weapon damage into their builds but always complain about sustain issues or vice versa. I think its important to play the way you feel comfortable. I personally play with food buffs, this gives me high health and stamina which makes up for having lower weapon damage when i use the marksmen crest set with my bow build. I still hit like a truck even though i have lower weapon damage then usual. My high health pool also leaves me less vulnerable to ganks as a vampire player.
