STAMBLADE DPS

ProtossOP

I am currently hitting at 2900 fully buffed DPS. I’ve got max gliphs on my gear all 160 CP gear, but I can’t get my DPS any higher.
Running
3 Armour gladiator
Sword + board gladiator
Great sword gladiator
2 armor shield breaker
3 jullrey shiled Breaker
Saline’s proc set

What can I do to increase my DPS

PvP build by the way.

Your build is bad.

Switch to 2h/bow or dual weild.

For now you could do something like 3x agility 5x hunding whatever monster set until you can farm for something better like bone pirate or whatever.

Its not a bad build per say, just depends on if you want to be tanky... if your dps isn't cutting it you probably don't want to be tanky...

Hundings is still one of the best sets out there and easy to get your hands on, eternal hunt if you're having sustain problems

Also your mundus and jewelry glyphs will help push you up

ProtossOP

Appreciate the advise

One thing you need to know: PvP isn't about DPS, its about burst and survivability.

Your build is indeed not that great.

I'd tell you to just go with the classic route of using Eternal Hunt (4 pieces on the body and the Bow) and Spriggan's (3 jewelry, 1 body and the 2H weapon). Dubious Camoran Throne drink. 3 Weapon damage glyphs. Serpent mundus. The best monster set would be either Bloodpawn or Velidreth. Why Velidreth over Selene? Because you get a visual cue for when its about to proc which means you can line it up with your Incap or your Assassin's Scourge. Selene is just way too obvious and easy to avoid in PvP.

Skills would be:
2H: Relentless Focus, Surprise Attack, Stampede, Rally, Mass Hysteria, ult: Incap Strike
Bow: Poison Injection, Shadow Image, Shuffle, Siphoning Attacks (not Leeching Strikes), Vigor, ult: anything you want

I really like having Relentless Focus on the front bar because its much easier to combo with it, but you could always take that skill off and use Executionner or Killer's Blade instead.

Skills would be:
2H: Relentless Focus, Surprise Attack, Ambush, Forward Momentum, Mass Hysteria, ult: Incap Strike
Bow: Poison Injection, Shadow Image, Shadowy disguise or Dark cloak, Siphoning Attacks (not Leeching Strikes), Vigor, ult: either Damage- Flawless Dawnbreaker for more damage to skills and a AOE attack or Toxic Barrage (for Single Target killing, and man does it kill) or Survivability- Soul Tether or Replenishing Barrier ultimate morph under Support skills (Support Rank 6)

I would change some Abilities to the above,

Why?

1. Stampede is getting their Snare dropped to 4 secs, Ambush can be used while sneaking and gives empower 20% more damage for your next attack, and it also does sneak damage, which is way better than the 2H gap closer.
2. Rally can be changed to Forward Momentum to still give Major Brutality, the Heal over time (HOT), and removes snares and gives you immunity to further snares for 8 sec's when fully leveled. Also doing this frees up an ability for your Bow bar.
3. Sometimes you need to escape and a Cloak ability can help with that if you are running Shadow Image (which currently is bugged but should be fixed by the next DLC).

good luck..

Fairly sound advice. I’m not 100% agreeing with #1 though. 4 second snare at 60% snare from stampede is still extremely strong. 8 seconds was to OP anyways, especially with all the snares in the game to begin with. Both stampede and ambush are good mobility ever since they altered how gap closers work (I’m sure everyone remembers how crit charge and stampede were before the change lol). The 20% empower is also debatable as ambush is no more difficult to dodge than stampede and any competent player will dodge after an ambush because everyone knows there is a large chance an incap is coming, especially if they ambush while already in melee range, it’s a clear tell they are just setting up empower for incap. Also, I’ve never liked the teleport animation on ambush. It makes it slow and clunky where as stampede just rockets younto the enemy without silly animations.

Overall I’d say if you already have a snare and want to gank go ambush, if you don’t have a snare and like more 1vX style go stampede.

Now that’s was in-depth thanks guys!

My boyfriend runs Bone Pirate and Shaklebreaker (and some other piece...I think Asylum weapons) and he kills and survives like none other but it works with his play style. Never have I seen a Stamblade gank in the middle of a zerg and be able to out maneuver an entire zerg and get out alive. He's excited that the Fusion drink will be fixed with the new patch too. This isn't in depth but a couple of sets to look at and try. Build to your play style.

Now that just sounds bad ass!!

Useful thread. Thanks everyone. Anyone have some direct websites to some of those builds? Like from the TF or something.

It is definitely the most regen. Also the weapon is Asylum 2h + master bow.

Playing a Stamblade in medium armor without a burst heal? Never gonna work.

Vigor is on the Bow Bar, Vigor + dodge roll works pretty good (bow gives you speed too, but you know this IZAKI..).. rolling also break snares now, freeing you to get to the 2H bar and using Forward Momentum.

Hell, I do this with running Dual Dual wield (both bars are DW) on my build (that's all i'm sharing, see below) and it works great and I don't run 2H..

On a Side Note- don't ask for my build/armor sets, skills used, ETC., as I don't announce stuff like that over a forum, only trusted people will know if I decide to tell them..
