Best in slot for Stam DK?

Midori_Oku

What exactly is best in slot for max DPS as a stam DK ? I'm currently running two Velidreth, five VO, and five Hundings Rage. All are divines (other than an infused Velidreth shoulder), the Hundings Rage daggers are sharpened, and I'm running a precise Maelstrom bow. I know the maelstrom axe/dagger is good, but I don't have them with good traits, plus I'm not sure how to fit it in with the build, as I'm not sure if Hundings Rage is what you should pair with VO. Also, should I do 5/1/1 or use all medium in the end?

I'm pretty sure maelstrom daggers/axes are always better than any other set weapons no matter the trait. They give you like a 10k dps boost. Also, you need VO jewelry to fit both sets in.

Your current setup is probably one of the best to run vMA (even if you have access to vMA daggers/axes, since the extra damage on DoTs is mostly relevant on bosses)

From a trial perspective for stam DK, we're looking next patch at:
2x Velidreth / Kra'gh (Velidreth still probably the best for AoEs due to the range)
5x Twice Born Star
3x Vicious Ophidian / Alkosh
2x Maelstrom daggers / axes (sharpened) - either 1 axe / 1 dagger or 2 daggers
1x Maelstrom bow (sharpened)

No monster set alternative is using 5x Vicious Ophidian / Alkosh (if you have sustain issues, you'll probably prefer to use this).

Maximum DPS comes from using 7 medium, that being said, for harder content (vMoL & HM), you may consider having a heavy chest for extra armor and health.

Awesome! Thanks!

Don't forget that the set-up isn't everything. Your rotation is just as important

If you have not maelstrom weapon what can I use ?

I have to do a lot of maelstrom arena to loot maelstrom weapon.

I personally would use sharpened Leki's swords/daggers if all I was missing was the Maelstrom axes/daggers.

One more question. What would be the ideal CP setup for the mage points?
