For an stamblade, will continue being better 2h than dw?

RazielSR · April 2016

Or with the patch changes maybe not? Im not sure. Im gonna run bow for sure but dont know if with 2h or dw?

What do you think?

Rally is still more or less mandatory for stambuilds sadly..

One Hand and Shield, there must be some Stam NBs that use this surely..

There is but they still use 2h.

You can use 2h/dw as well or 2h/s+b

RazielSR · April 2016

No, I want bow for sure.

2h bow is good

Regardless of your second weapon set, one of your weapon sets needs to be 2H, even in the update. Rally is a must have for the heal. Any other second option, bow, DW, S+B, are all viable second options. Just depends on which one you prefer.

If you have Assault line open, you can use Vigour for heal. Major Brutality can be acquired from Sap Essence. The drawback is that two slots are used instead of one. Benefit: you're not stuck to 2h. Use bow+dw. I'm not aware of healing capabilities of Rally though compared to Vigour.

Rally is used for burst healing, vigor is a powerfull HoT, but it won't save you of being bursted down in pvp, that is why rally is a must.

Bow/2H will keep being the best for stamblade, but now that we have a working execute on killers blade, i will be using a lot more of DW/2H

Is just that I wanted to try an stamblade.

I have a magblade that I like a lot and I have mastered quite well.
I have a magdk,and an stamplar too.

As stam is gonna be on par with mag...I was wanting to try some stam based buid.As my dk is a Nord and is the worst race...The redguard stamplar Im not sure if feels ok for pvp...

I have started an Imperial stam nb. My question is...having a dunmer magblade...is ok having an imperial stamblade or better do this imperial be an stam dk?

Im a bit doubtful because Im afraid I will find the stamblade too similar to my magblade cause with my magblade I play like lets say a ghost. An stamblade would be more or less the same I guess but wont be able to cloack that much and It will be more an instagank build. But that build works just inside ic mainly and there I play with my magblade.

So...would be better to go stam dk imperial dps to test a diff built or gankblade imp?

If I reroll the nord to an stam dpstank new heavy DB armor would be ok?

Bow got a heal. Rally won't be necessary for the burst heal. You can make DW/Bow work.

Ohhh really that's pretty cool I would assume its draining Shot.I might start using Bow now and just make Major Brut potions to make up for the lost from rally.

Rally isn't a must have anymore, since you've got bone shield + vigor.

2h is superior to dw imo for other reasons though. While dw gives you a viable aoe, bow already has that. 2h also gets the battle rush passive, one of the best passives in the game.

I think the only thing worth considering switching 2h our for is s/b, LA-suprise attack-bash mostly makes up for the lost weapon damage and you gain access to reflect, and another gear slot, in the form of a large armor piece, though I'm still not sure its really worth losing battle rush.

2H is still superior, but now a DW/Bow build is workable..

RazielSR · May 2016

But Im not gonna do undaunted again for bone shield....so I will go 2h and bow. What shield apart from that could I use?

That's the only stamina shield in the game at the moment.

Isn't it just undaunted 4? That's super easy

RazielSR · May 2016

Yes it is 4 I see. Didnt remember. Maybe with public dungeons achievements...cause its a problem to find lowbies for dung. This stamblade I have is from DC. I started yesterday and now lev15.
