Tank/DPS Stam Sorc sets?

Krileon

I'm having an extremely hard time figuring out what set to focus on getting. I tank and DPS and am ideally wanting an all around set to cover both. I'm currently working on Black Rose since it gives health, stamina x2, spell & weapon damage, and improves constitution. For jewelry endurance x3. For monster set skoria when dps and bloodspawn when tanking. Thoughts?

Try black rose with agility and molag kena for tanky dps.

Krileon

Thanks, will work towards giving that a shot as well. Wasn't sure about molang kena, but seams like it'd give a good damage boost.

Does black rose come in jewelry? It does look like a really good set for this purpose, but if no jewelry or weapons the combinations become limited. If it does come with jewelry it's a superb set indeed.

As a stam sorc tank I have found endurance damage enchanted/reactive/malubeth is a winner but it will leave you a bit short on damage.

I might try

Malubeth x2

5 Alchemist - 3 armor 2 weapon

5 viper - 3 jewellery & 2 armor or 2 weapon OR
5 pariah - 3 jewellery 2 armor OR
5 Barahas 3 jewellery & 2 armor or 2 weapon

weapons as needed (not sure what)

If you have vigor the try powerful assault as tank. Combined with 2 bloodspawn and 5 marksman (1h&Shield / dual wield), all wpn dmg glyphs you have a decent tank setup that buffs your group and can do good dmg.
For DPS I would recommend completely other sets such as night mothers gaze or twice born star and agility.

I don't think it does. I didn't see any jewelry in the sewers vendor for it.

I was also considering Reactive for more defense. That 35% sounds pretty amazing, but I'm unsure how much I'm going to get CCed in PVE as I dodge or break free pretty regularly. Knockdowns or Stuns would be where it shines most I wager.

I tried Baharahas, but it felt pretty underwhelming. The AOE is so tiny it's easy for NPCs or players to just move out of it from dodge rolling, etc..

I do run vigor, but resource management seams to be a serious struggle now and the double stamina on black rose seams pretty helpful. The group damage buff from assault does look pretty good though since it'd benefit the whole group.

Baharah's is easy to proc though, any active damage ability has a 25% chance to set it off, and it snares a bit so it can be useful in PVE too at times. Also the lifesteal is killer. A stationary boss ends up being a really good siphon point. Even Valkyn Skoria couldn't out heal me at times as a tank NB

No Black Rose doesn't have jewellery unfortunately. I currently run a fasallas guile, malubeth and black rose for group pvp but solo pvp I run black rose, agility and endurance plus molag kena (weapon swap swaps between endurance and agility). Solo I use weapon damage jewellery glyphs, group I use block and stam redux.

PvE I use a dps setup unless I'm tanking normally and then I use Hist Bark as a basis (I dont have a good jewellery set for pve tanking as yet)

Underrated set, I use it on my hybrid tank, proc rate is insane.

Not BIS but fun and very trollish, works on any stam build but works very well on a stam sorc;

2 Mephala or 2 Kena or

1 Kena

5 Skirmisher 3 Jewelry / Weapon/s of choice / 1 armor
5 Eternal Hunt Armor

Werewolf

All gear is enchanted stamina with well - fitted trait

Werewolf is exceptionally trollish with crit surge up, hurricane up, and the eternal hunt proc.

It's not near as good as skirmisher or hunt replacing either with Morihaus is exceptionally trollish and fun.
