Stamina Nightblade Build Help

So, I am looking to start another stamblade as I haven't played one in a while. I'm one of those more casual players who likes to use easy to get crafted armor, but in this case, I don't believe this will be much of an issue with the amount of weapon damage and crit that I have. The only issue damage wise might be the low penetration. Otherwise, I would rather use divines over inpen simply because a few extra crit resist will not help me if I really need it, but the damage should help.

My plan is to Rally -> Concealed Hunter -> Lethal Arrow -> Silver Shards -> Poison Injection -> Crit Rush -> Fear -> Wrecking Blow -> Executioner.

Are there any suggestions that could help me?

Roll dodge and pop some vigor and you should be all set bro.

I like impen more than divine PvP.

You can gank pretty well in 5 Alchemist, 3 Agility, 2 Leki or Shacklebreaker, 1 Kragh, 1 Kena or Veli. DW, bow. If you get caught in melee, though, you'll get destroyed in divines. For pure bow ganking in divines, go 5 Alchemist, 5 Spriggans.

I like it. I run a bow NB in pvp.

Abilities I'm unsure about:

Silver shards is expensive, and when I've tried it in pvp it's never performed. But I haven't run it in a loooong time. I'm tempted to think that focus aim...focus aim...poison inject is cheaper and stronger, but you'd have to test.

Wrecking blow plus executioner makes the setup feel attack-heavy. I'd be tempted to choose one or the other.


Things I might exchange them for:

Merciless resolve offers the damage boost and stam recovery. I'd consider this in place of silver shards and go rally...merciless...hunter...launch attack...

magelight: with the 20% boost offered by might of the guild, I get a lot out of this and use it. It really depends on play style. From range on a wall a stamblade can buff and hit HARD with their snipe. I average probably 13k for a first hit.

Vigor: it's pretty helpful unless you are amazingly good at avoiding detection. Although...I don't know...sometimes I feel it's on the border between being really helpful and just getting in the way.


Sets:

If you find that over half your dps is coming from the bow, marksman is cheap in guild stores. It'll give you a stam cost reduction on everything, though. Hundings performs well. Hawks eye...again if you're focusing on the bow. Spriggans. Really whatever boosts damage the most via increased weapon damage and stam, while keeping crit in the 60-70% range.

I agree with others that you'll get slaughtered in divines. The critical hits in CP pvp right now are insane. I wear five impen, and feel I can mostly get away from all but the worst sneak attacks. I gank a lot of stamblades...if they're in impen my opening attacks are hitting for 6-8k. If here not, that opening snipe is gonna land for 15k+. It's up to you if you think you can come back from that sort of blow.
