What Stamina Warden skills do you use?

Kattemynte

So I have been leveling up my stamina warden and am about to hit 50 in each class tree. From what I have seen there is actually only a few skills I use to run solo and dungeons.
What I have been using for my melee stamina build from these trees are:

• Subterranean Assault (Awesome skill)
• Bull Netch
• Green Lotus (more solo than dungeon)
• Ice Fortress (for survivability)

That's it... 4 skills out of a total of 15 and even then only 2 full time. Birds of Prey maybe but it is only 10 seconds and in organized groups you can get the minor berserk fairly often.

Even going over the passives in this tree it definitely feels like this class was build to be magicka based and not stamina in the least.
So, what skills do you all use for stamina dps and do you feel that it should be tweeked a bit to offer more stamina builds more diversity?

To be honest that is pretty normal for every stam dd in PVE.

In PVP you can find use for almost half the skills even as stam warden. I find that better than for example stam sorc. (in number of usable skills).

One problem I had with stamwarden, is that all the buffs apart from the netch cost magicka, result is I have to put some effort into magicka sustain just for this purpose.

Well to be fair, every Stam Sorc skill does like a billion different things (Hurricane has too many effects to mention, Dark Deal gives a *** ton of stam back and heals) and every stam class needs a good magicka dump- Streak is amazing.

Plus they get the best passives by far.

That is 40% percent of you available skill spaces.

Better than almost every other class.

I'm running steel tornado (aoe fights) / blood craze (s-target fights), bird of pray, sub assault, rearming trap and cliff diver on my front bar. (With bear ulti - trying to maximize the increased weapon damage from companion and fighters guild passives, once I have dawn breaker ill swap out bear for it) And bullnetch, lotus, poison injection, hail & flex spot on my back bar.

I know a lot of people don't like using the cliff diver as their spamable but I'm finding it works, still have quite a few passives to get and it's already crittng for 20k, plus it gives a nice little heal each time

I play stam tank (with frost destro) and as class skills use:

1. Ice Fortress - when need to boost survival
2. Gripping Shards (seldom and optional when trash CC is needed)
3. Frozen Gate (optional in some rare situations, like selene final boss or blackheart heaven where adds need to be puled to boss)
4. Screaming Cliff Racer - main spam
5. Subterranean Assault - armour debuf and good AoE dmg
6. Bull Netch - regen and buff
7. Wild Guardian - (temporary) will be replaced with horn and FDB as soon as i'll open them
8. Soothing Spores - self and group heal
