Stamblade build advice

HoolDog

Played a magic sorc for what seems like an age. Recently started tinkering on a Stam DK and a StamBlade.

I really enjoy the close quarter fighting of the Stam classes and I am really enjoying the stamblade.

Having spent so much time perfecting a magicka build I feel a little lost in the new stamina ocean I find myself in.

When DB releases on Xbox I have the mats ready to craft my stamblade gear but I am not sure which way to go and would very much appreciate any help / advice that people would give.

I mostly PVP.

Thanks

Do you want to min max? Or just a general starting build?

I would recommend Dw/Bow(META weapons PVE)
for Crafted sets go for:

-5 pc Hundings rage

-3 piece agility

-4 piece night silence

put all WD enchants on jewlry

use well fitted traits on all pieces for a massive dodge roll cost reduction use impen for PVP

nonCrafted:

- 5 piece skirmisher

- 1 piece Blood spawn

-1 piece Kena

3 agility same enchants as above

use well fitted(PVE)/impen(PVP)

Dw/Bow as weapons.

Min/max for Pvp

Sets I was looking at:

Eternal hunt
Shield breaker
Hundings rage

Looking to build something that can put up a decent fight not for ganking. Looking for good regen, with decent weapon damage.

At the minute for levelling (currently vet 4) using 2h/bow

Using hundings 5 piece
Ravenger 4 piece
Night silence

Try Morkuldin and Eternal Hunt:
- on 2h/bow its 4-4 in matter of setp ieces (raw stats, without any special "effects"), or
- DW/bow with Morkuldin 5th piece active only on DW (3xarmor, 2xswords, and bow of morkul) - this gives you flat stats to work with AND possibility of spawning helpful (but dumb sometimes) swordy thing ( <- my personal setup)

NB: As for skills: Killers blade may look awesome in description, but in real fight its usable mostly against "moderate" players, due to bonusal dmg bound to really low HPs of target. Flurry IIRC requires splitting points into two stars to be worth slotting. Fear skill can be used in two ways: Hysteria as offensive while Manifestation as "safe zone" against one attacker (two runes are placed). If you lack regens, slot Siphoning Strikes, only in case of free slot on hotbar.

DK: idk, not my type of play, however urban legeds say that PoisonKnights are quite durable - when comparing to StamBlades

The go to setup for PVP on a stamblade is 5 hounding 1 Molag kena 1 bloodspawn this is kinda of standard Setup for all Stan builds right now.For your stamDK you should go 5 hounding 2 melbeth.The heal from that is very strong on a stamDk.

As said earlier in the thread run full Impen with about 35 points in resistant and you be pretty Tanky in PVP.

If you have Malestorm weapons 2H and Bow you can run Shieldbreaker.

Also are you Xbox NA or Xbox EU?
