Hey,
what do u guys run right now in open world?
So far what worked for me:
2h heavy builds
5x shackle
2x trollking
3x agility
2x trans SNB backbar
1x vsma/sanctum 2h
+golden food
Same with 7thegion
5heavy SNB
5x shackle
5x spriggan
2x trollking
1x vsma / sanctum back 2h
+golden food
What builds could I use for more DMG without lolsing too much regen (I play actually with 1k stam / 1k mag recovery) ?
I really like the wrothgar golden food, I dont need anything else in terms of regen with it.
Is the prisoners + 7th setup woth farming? I enjoy 2h mainbar more them SNB, but never really tried dw since I cant fit in a good stun, so maybe any1 have some advice here.
Of course, I also Trier the clever Alchemist setuos, but I dont like relying too much on drinking potions. I also considered truth, but since I play no CP most of the tine I cant see myself proccing it reliable.
So how do u guys on stam sorc this patch?
Drop heavy shackle and put on medium fortified brass.. with s/b on back you would get close to 33k resistance..
Tried many options and that build is crzy

If you're talking about the setup I mentioned, which is shackle/truth/TK then the setup is 5/2 medium, not heavy. Also medium brass + truth means 0 mag sustain, good luck playing sorc open world with 0 mag sustain.
2 medium troll king
5 seventh legion
3 automaton jewelry
2 automaton daggers (Nirn+defending)
Back bar, 2 seducer sword and board.
Go forth and conquer.
I run 2 selene + 5 shackle breaker heavy but dont know what to pair it with
Im wondering if automatons strength is the way to go ? or 7th legion ?
I dont feel like testing prisoners rag or brass, they dont seem to suit me
Im kind of stuck
Any nice idea to share ?

Plus, there’s no realistic situation where brass outperforms Impreg
Well, I tried the 7th + prisonet + TK setup and hands down, its pretty good for open world. I can run double stat food with it, which leaves me at 37k stam, 3500 wpn DMG - up to 4500 with glyph and 7th.
I can run full DMG, double stat bufffood on no CP, 0 sustain issues. Next patch when DD becomes uninterruptable I guess it will even be stringer.
Thx for every other advice,but for open world 1vX I dont see a better build.

37K stam?
@del9 the math says you lose a few % damage from ritual, but you can use shattering blows and gain damage on damage shields, plus you gain 10% on off balance opponents. It’ll lower DPS parses, but it increases pvp burst.
I think shields are currently purging off balance on cast though so you lose that 10% damage on damage shield opponents. That’s why I suggest some points in shattering to recoup the lost damage
Yep! 2 robust 1 healthy is actually very good for pvp as well, especially since you're gonna be in medium and the hp will be on the lower side.
Edit: also, orc would be BiS for this setup as it buffs health rec. and as a vamp you need the buffs.
To OP regarding builds, this is what I´ve been using for about 3-4 months and I love it, not really BiS or META but I enjoy it:
Disclaimer: I didn´t created the build but got tip from some NA players who´s been using it for some time before me.
5 Prisoner:
Baffles me why it took so long for people like Kodi to realise the potential of this set. Synergises so well with stamsorc and their Dark Deal. I`m using 3 Jewellery (all weapon damage enchants), 1 Infused Sword (Berserk Enchant) and 1 Shield (Impenetrable).
5 Pelinial´s:
I´m a werewolf, so that´s the reason I use this set. Since I enjoy playing solo 99% of the time I PvP, Pelinial´s is a must have for solo werewolfs or otherwise your heals in werewolf form is just terrible. And werewolf + prisoner synergises really well. Great heals and when in need sprint a little to gain some magicka back and then heal back up. The issues in WW-form is the lack of snare-removal (which I hope ZOS will give WW´s in a close future) and defile + DoT builds.
Asylum 2hander (backbar):
No-brainer if you ask me, the ultimate regen on using 2hander execute is just too good not to use.
Monster Helmet:
Here you´ve a few options depending on your playstyle.
Troll King/Shadowrend/Mighty Chudan/Malubeth/Earthgore for a more tanky playstyle. In my opinion this is the "safe way" to play it. Personally I prefer Troll King and Shadowrend over the others
Molag Kena: For a more aggressive playstyle. Can reach really nice damage with Kena. Just don´t spam your WW-skills when it´s up, let the light attacks do the damage for you. Since we´re using Pelinial´s this will boost our heal an insane amount. Think I´ve hit 16-17k non-crit heals in WW form with this setup (which is basically 50-60% of my HP with this build)

holy ***.. orc as vamp.... plz dont do such nonsense!
@Morgul667 try dropping shackle and going 7th and bone pirate and use a few tri stat glyphs. 2pc 7th on SB and either asylum or vma 2H on front bar. It’s real good.

that build is kinda "for profis only" like every ww build out there. i dont recomend this to newer players

Orc as a vamp + TK is insanely strong. If you haven't tried it don't comment about it.@Morgul667 try dropping shackle and going 7th and bone pirate and use a few tri stat glyphs. 2pc 7th on SB and either asylum or vma 2H on front bar. It’s real good.
7th isn't a good backbar set. If you're gonna backbar something like that your best choice is truth.

beside u are true about 7th legion...
how do u want to use trollking when health reagen gets reduced by 75% in vamp stage 4?? that orc passive doesent make it up
orc+ trollking without vampire is a way better

You stay at stage 3, not at 4. You don't need stage 4 for a stam sorc. You also take the Unnatural resistance passive from the vampire tree. Orc also gives you 20% more hp reg. All those combined give you 3k health regen with troll king AND undeath passive, which is really invaluable when you have a 25k hp build that has constant self heals.
Next time try not to talk about stuff you don't understand only to have someone else teach you game mechanics.

37K stam?
Yes, well I use bound armor - guess I should have mentioned it.
37k stam + 26k health + 3,6k -4,5k wpn dmg and very good ressources - pretty solid.
I run surge, caltrops, trap etc. on overload bar and dont use pubcture, cut I dont think its strong if u are outnumbered, what Im usually are.

oh be my teacher please ... lol
stage 3 are still 50% reduction i asume and im still verry sure without vampire this works a way better.
undead passive is nice.. true here.. but since in cryo flying so much fire dmg arround i think the effect is almost negated by the 25% more fire dmg taken of vampire
/e. try to stay productive and dont play the gran teacher here if your arguments are not proven by numbers
