Draugr Hulk/ VO StamBlade. Not Bad, Not Great, just different.

So it happens Direfrost was yesterday's daily and I had been wanting to try out Draugr Hulk armor or see if it would be like necropotence or destruction mastery for a stam toon.

So it took me from 34.5k Stam to 40k stam on my NightBlade. My other set is Vicious Ophidian and Veledrith, so I replaced Twice Fanged with Draugr.

I'm not sure what to make of it. I run an awkward setup using S/B in the first place. I'd been getting around 20K on the Skeleton Dummy and I'm still at 20k. I have got a little bit better result with NMG at like 21.5k, but I used TFS just because.

It does make my Vigor heals stronger. That's a plus I guess. I'm gonna beat on the dummy some more tonight to see if I can do something for different results.

It's epic for pvp. I run that with poisonous serpent and master bow. My Stam sorc sits at 45k Stam and just spam bow attacks and lit weave and it melts everything. Full heavy bow attacks crit for near 30k. Great openers.

Interesting you would mention poison serpent. I'd been toying with that set also. I've been finding vicious ophidian to be not the greatest in Cyrodil.

Though my intention on Draugr was more dungeon/PvE I'll try them out later.

PvE wise use it with dw daggers and spriggan and stormfist. Stormfist hits as hard as veli and the recovery is pretty nice. Also needed in a few weeks time.

@kylewwefan ...hmmmmm, a stamblade using SnB - very interesting...i like that idea...

what's on your other bar?

kylewwefan

Resto staff. Just kidding! Using an Ophidian Bow I think. I might have a poison serpent one lying around to try also.

On S/B bar I mainly use Surprise attack, Power Extraction, Killers Blade. 2 flex spots depending on content. Bow bar I use Venom Arrow, Trap and 3 flex.

Lots of choices for flex Rapids, Purge, Siege Shield, Camo Hunter, Silver Leash, Snipe, Draining Shot, Ambush, Caltrops, Fear etc.

Using S/B as DPS works really well on NightBlade because there's good combination of Class abilities that take place of weapon skills.
Surprise Attack, spammable and debuff. Power extraction, AoE and major brutality buff. Killers Blade, execute and heal.

Long as your using skills and abilities and not just light attacking from range I think you'll find yourself doing more than 10k DPS and most dungeons even vet will go alright.


I hear MagBlades can also work wonders with S/B for ultimate combinations...even with like Necropotence, Scathing Mage, maybe BSW, heck even Worm....sorry, I experiment a lot on my NightBlade.
