[BUILD VID] Stam - BG / Small Scale PvP Build "The Narcissist" CWC RDY

Thogard

This is without a doubt the single most OP Stam DK build in existence at the moment. I've never seen anyone else play a Stam DK like this... I like to call this build the "Only Narcissists Name Their Outfits" build, and I am extremely proud of it. Perhaps, too proud.

Background:
Stam DK is a tough class to play in BGs! Here I've made a vid of how I've been having a lot of success on Stam DK. Using this build i managed to finish #2 on the deathmatch PC NA leaderboards this week, which as everyone knows means I'm the 2nd best player on PC NA (and therefore the world) and has nothing to do with how much I play.

The first video is a quick discussion of the build with commentary from some of PC NA's top BG players, as well as two BG vids. I also included a bonus vid of just combat play. All of this was just filmed today, on location in my mom's basement.

Here's the loadout:
Race: Redguard... AS IS TRADITION.
Mundus: the serpent
Jewelry: 1x stam regen glyph, 2h wep dmg glyphs
Food: No thanks

Skills:
Watch the video, gosh.

Equipment: (5 medium 2 hvy, bloodspawn, 7th, clever alch (back bar), 2h VMA main bar.
Bloodspawn helm / shoulders in medium
Seventh legion Chest / Legs (heavy)
Seventh Legion Jewelry (get the blue stam ring and combine with a healthy ring and a healthy neck)
Clever Alchemist Boots, belt, and gloves in medium
All IMPEN except for one or two well fitted
All with stam glyphs except for ONE tristat glyph (for the extra mag)

VMA 2h Nirnhoned (clever alchemist works here too if you dont hate yourself enough to grind through VMA)
1h / s backbar Clever Alchemist.

The champ points are pretty straightforward but the penetration would change a little depending on your wep type. Go with sword or maul, not axe. You can figure out the champ points on your own and Im not confident that my CP recommendations would be better than yours. If any solid players want to add in some CP recs, please do.

I think this build would be EXTREMELY useful for players like @Skoomah and @kookster

Special thanks to all the players in <Scrubs Anonymous> for the groups and for carrying a scrublord like me. In this case, @bpbpbp (bee-pee), @Horizon_Seeker (Endaros), @Luh44 (Stand Still),
@whalelord13 (Vistha), @AngryJanitor (Goatpocalypse), @Competence (Big Boi Season), @del9 (Del asoul / furious fred)

Huge shout out to @FrostyPikabrew (Ben-ten-ten-ten) who, as far as I know, has been running this extremely common build longer than anyone else.


I'm also going to tag @Lexxypwns and @Waffennacht because i know they have nothing better to do with their time than read the message boards at work

BONUS:

4vX video in IC w/ fake Kiwi accents!

Edits are in process to remove the copyrighted content. Sorry guys. I promise the wait is worth it. If Kodi was walking through a dark alley and all of the sudden Tom Brady cornered him, made him wear a wig, and then deflated his balls, this build would be the beautiful baby created.

Up until recently my favorite stam dk build was revolving around shadow image, but lately I've been seduced by elves and playing it with the trees

Ive actually heard a lot of good things about the stam DK builds that incorporate shadow image and vanish. Lot of good DK passives in those skill trees. I'll have to do additional research!

Btw I'm running this in 7 Heavy and argonian do you think I'm missing out on anything by not being Redguard and running medium?

Thogard

I run medium most for the runspeed. If I didn’t do so much sprinting to keep up with my group then heavy would be the way to go.

Who is that guy that wouldn't shut up in the first game? Guy is super annoying.

I like him now. I love his name.

Yes!

Btw I’d love it if you posted a Stam DK build that emphasized how OP Stam DKs are when you spend all your time in WW form using only WW skills and not benefitting from any of the Stam DK passives. It would really showcase the strength of sDK IMO.

Indeed! All these players are talking about how Stam DK is nerfed. If they’d just watch the first minute of the build video then they would see how wrong they are.

Skoomah

Stam DKs are the class of choice for beating someone's face in up close and PERSONAL... boiyeeee

Trying to do the same, would be highly interested in your findings!

Gotta say, I found your take on Stam DK to be rather insightful. I'd have never thought that to play Stam DK as a warden.

Also your Kiwi accent is bad.

Solariken

I heart you and this brilliant reimagining of the stamDk.

Also consider this my official vote for @bpbpbp for sexiest voice PC/NA.

In other news I've been playing a hella fun bowtard [actual]stamDk that I CAN'T WAIT to use to fuel your discount tree spam while being unable to damage you in the slightest while you practice your stamDk shalk/dbos/slice-***.

Edit: why does this forum censor e-n-e-m-a it's the only appropriate word for what happens when stamDkden 1-shots an unsuspecting medium armor bowtard.

given that both me and my mother are New Zealanders, I am inclined to disagree.

Also I liked how you use google to find the most generic sets to run for the build. Personally, I've always used Bing.

I love everything about this thread.

The mods edited my title...

Definitely not click bait. I think the joke went over their heads though.

ChildOfLight

Definitely my favourite PVP stamDK guide!

Best class to log out and pick up a warden!

wildbear247

Best StamDK build out there at the moment, hands down. Keep up the good fight for all the StamDK brethren Thogard.

Skoomah

Stam DK for lyfe!

It just adds to how good your build is ☺
