Very high damage/high recovery stam NB gear build.

Jaiden

I'd like to share with you a gear setup and build that i've been playing around with the last few days that has very high weapon damage/stamina as well as a very good stamina regen. A little background on me, i'm a wood elf NB. Wood elves have a 21% stam recovery passive which alows me to get the numbers i have. Keep in mind other races may see lower returns on the stam recovery and this may not work out as well for you. I'm V16, I have 501+ CP's, and i'm a vamp. This is a DW/2H melee build with primary focus on dps with the DW line. The gear setup is as follows:

3 Agility : primary weapon Swords x2, 2ndary weapon 2hander, Neck
3 Leki: Rings x2, boots
5 Hunding rage: helm, chest, waist, legs, gloves.
Molag kena shoulder

All jewelry is weapon enchants and serpent mundus. Gear ideally should be impenetrable traits, but i'm using my old hunding rage set and the pvp vendor molag shoulders. I plan on getting a new impen HR set made soon. Food is important because it's how i'm able to get numbers. I'll show you in 3 different pictures.


This is my stats, unbuffed, unstealthed with blue Orzorga's Tripe Trifle pocket food (5k health + 500 stam regen):


Same food but stealthed and buffed up with rally, relentless focus, camo hunter. ( I have flawless ulty on bar for the 8% weapon damage)


This is a glass cannon build if you wanna max damage gank. I went with blue health/stam food (5395hp + 4936 stam) Notice the 36k+ stam but regen takes a hit

And finally, with Continuious Attacks (resource/keep capture buff) i sit at around 4720ish weapon damage and over 2600 stam regen buffed (this is with Orzorga's food). Sorry i don't have a picture but i kept forgetting to take a screenshot everytime we flipped something.

Well there you have it. As far as the ability bars go, you find you're own setup that works for you. Most stam NB's run a pretty similar configuration anyways. Hope this helps you out in the future and happy hunting.

Nice build, just not sure its really better than the current meta of 3 agility, 5 hundings, one piece Kena and one piece Bloodspawn, which, also allows for Maelstrom weapons if you have them.

Assuming both build runs 5 Hundings and 3 Agility:

You are basically adding 1 kena and 3 leki for: Weapon Damage x2 and Max Stam x1

With one kena, one blood spawn and 2 leki weapons you get: Weapon damage x2 and stam Regen, which is probably better.

With Kena, Blood spawn, and Maeltsrom, you get: weapon damage (times about 2.5 because VMA weapon is a bigger boost) stam regen, and the malestrom enchant. 2 Hand is probably better for PVP, and you could also run a bow.

All that being said, not everyone has maelstrom weapons or monster sets. Also, leki rings are cheaper than Agility rings. Other than the kena shoulder, all of this gear is easy to get and it looks like your stats are in a very good spot.

Yea, I was focusing on an easier/cheaper way to gear up since I don't really pve and Maelstrom weapons are rare to get the right traits you want. All in all though the stats are very competitive with the high end meta that many players will never be able to achieve. Also, I'm pretty sure almost everyone that didn't have one, picked up a molag shoulder when they were offered that first week.

This is cool man I am having such an issue trying to get my stam DK to have 30k stam with 2k stam regen.

It's either one or the other with me so thanks for posting this!

I know I will get it eventually but it's hard for me to min/max as I was never good at it!

Then you nailed it. Haha. Leki's is a handy set I picked up a pair of daggers for next to nothing. Basically the new Morag Tong. Those used to be one of the most expensivive daggers in the game. Still can't bring myself to decon my old pair.

Here's my stats with the continuous attacks buff from flipping a keep or resource. These are stealthed and fully buffed.
