Stam Sorc. Build Adjustment after Homestead?

Weathur

Hello, So I run a stam sorc in the maelstrom arena and I get on the weekly leaderboard with about 530k-540k scores everytime. I currently use 5x TBS, 3 Agility, 2 velidreth, maelstrom bow (sharpened) and maelstrom 1h axe (sharpened) as well as maelstrom 1h dagger (sharpened). Anyways, I was reading a forum post saying TBS wasn't good after the homestead patch. Then, I thought of some replacements. Should I run 5 Hundings rage (body), and 5 spriggans, (jewelry + helm + shoulder) and maelstrom weapons instead of my current setup? Or, should I stick with TBS as I don't care for trials? and if you have any other suggestions please leave below.

Well TBH as a sorc you shouldn't be running TBS it should be NMG but that's my two cents.

TBS isn't going to be "as good" because of crit multipliers mainly in trials with warhorns.

I don't think this is heavily going to effect you in vMA. I run with NMG tried literally everything else.

The only thing I've recently subbed it for is TFS - Two Fang Snake in divines which is amaze balls.

After this patch in addition to nerfs, dw/noncrit mob set/ hurricane /trap..... there is also bugs with physical damage, effecting how physical pen./resist are calculated, until the bugs are figured out stam sorc does less damage and receives more incoming damage than they should. Running VMA with extra HP and using more sigils than normal right now.

Thanks for the response, my next question is because of the recent nerf to proc sets, should I run 5 NMG and 5 spriggans + maelstrom weapons, or 5 NMG, 2 veli, 3 agility, and maelstrom weapons. (VO is not an option to me, as I do not have a trial group and I do not have any interest to join one.)

Thanks!
