Ss and maiden is a zerg surfing build imo. But you hit hard that's for sure. Do SS: 2swords, 1 jewelry, chest, legs. The rest do wm and light monster gear and you'll be in light armor.

I had a feeling it might be a bit much.
in that case I might keep shackbreaker and replace willpower/torugs for warmaiden.

With 5 shackle 5 lich you could run tri food for a disgustingly high stampool, then skoria and 2 willpower swords, good damage and sustain all around.

Syiccal

I have 13k stam which I find to be just fine in fairness.

My magplar runs trans(back bar)+damage set(body)+Bloodspawn+Infused destro

With tri-glyphs and WM it’s 35k+ magika 3k++ spell damage(depending on your choice of damage set), 2k recovery, 13k stam.

For BGs, i run trans+SPC+troll

I like to run heavy as my primary set in pvp/ imperial city/battle grounds. so much easier to survive/sustain in PvP and il choose sustain over light passivs any day.in light it's just a matter of time untill I get wrecked by a stamblade out of no where.in heavy they hardly scratch me

Have you tried running a defensive focused set? I find that with Transmutation(~3800 crit resist) and bloodspawn(10% mitigation) I'm sitting in the 26k range for resists and have perfect sustain. Then you get to take advantage of the spell critical and penetration that light armor offers(this is more damage than ANY set in the game adds to your build) while also stacking in a nice damage set(I like surge and julianos). This allows you to have superior mitigation to heavy armor setups(that don't include a defense set) while also packing significantly more damage than any heavy armor build can manage.

Basically, its much easier to find ways to add survivability to a build than it is to replace the light armor passives. If you choose overwhelming surge as your damage set then you've got a 13m aoe cloak counter that procs just for existing, does nice damage, has top tier 2-4 pieces, and procs concussion(8% more damage).

I'm just really not a fan of light in pvp.
what I really need to know..is warmaiden worth using over willpower/torugs set up before I commit to it.
shacklebreaker/soulshine (my heavy sets will be staying)

No, it isn’t. It does not boost your healing in the way willpower+Torugs does.

Edit: soul shine suffers these same issue with war maiden. It won’t matter on the main BoL heal, but the aoe smaller one will suffer a whole lot. Julianos is a superior choice to maidenbut can’t be paired with shackle. Spinners is more damage than maiden if you’re going to use a 5pc that doesn’t boost healing

Syiccal

thank you

I would say of ur gonna go overwhelming surge as some have suggested, then go wizards riposte on back bar and lightning staff on from that, you have double (i think) chance to proc concussion from overwhelming surge and also from all destro attacks on ur bar.

im running 2 setups atm

trans snb backbar and jewels, surge on body, 2 willpower swords and either skoria or if i want to be freaking tanky 2 pirate skeleton

works as intended.

Wizards reposte (SnB backbar)/shacklebreaker monster set if choice, SnB willpower or duel wield( main hand nirnhoned)5/1/1 light 2 dmg 1 recovery enchants.

also good and useable setup!

the extra stam on shackle is amazing

Pm me, i can show you some old videos of war maiden and soulshine in heavy and light armor.

I'm a fan of Axiom.

The mag and Stam are on the 4th item bonus, so I only run x5 front bar

Transmutation x5 back bar

Using Slimecraw ATM

I think it's a 17k dark flare tool tip

I use it for BGs

Lexxypwns

Trans is made for magplar, just toss a tri-glyph on your shield and it’s 100% uptime self-proc. There’s just nothing that’s as appealing imo given the magplar’s need for sustain. Remember that NO magika set offers more consistent damage+healing than building for sustain and running 3x spell damage glyphs and that magplar needs a lot of sustain on DW+SnB

Syiccal

I'm now using 5 heavy shackle and 5 warmaiden (dw) with 2 trans on back bar (s/b) I sustain just fine to be fair

You should make the switch to light armor. You'll love it. It takes anticipation of attacks and timings, but the damage is so far superior. Plus a huge boost to crit for healing.

Syiccal

which light armour do you suggest?

Syiccal

I do like the added stam from shackle could that work in light?

Absolutely, shackle breaker is just solid. The other suggestions are just suggestions for preference. Or if you don't want to have to have x5 on both bars

Lexxypwns

Shackle works for light, run 1 shield play enchant and use block as a way to relieve pressure when focused
Trans works as a back bar set and adds sustain
Impreg is awesome, you can use it to stack crit resist very high or to run lots of sturdy for block costs.
Riposte is nice, particularly if you’re using a damage shield(which may help the transition to light armor)
Pirate and Bloodspawn are great undaunted options.

Basically you want to build at least 1 defensive/utility set, some sustain, then rely on light armor passives + whatever additional damage you can add(wether that’s undaunted, a 5pc, jewelry glyphs+mundus, whatever)
