Whats the recommended minimum stamina for a stamblade?

• For gankplay
• For soloplay
• For foreplay sorry, couldn't resist
• For smallscale
• For largescale

I know a lot depends on resource management ability but is there a set amount of stamina that YOU wouldn't dip below? The same question could be asked of magblades but maybe a magblade might want a huge amount of magicka because of the cost of skills?

29k bare minimum for me. I'm happy with anywhere around 30-33k but only if I have over 2500 stam recovery with one stam reduction enchant.

That's how I play. Others may vary.

Id not get too close to 30k imo. Personally im running 39k atm and loving it (with 24k hp)

SirAndy

I agree with the above, i'd say minimum is 30k, 40k is the sweet spot ...

Depends on your race, my big fat black cat does fine in 28k

No less than 36k I have 40k-43k depending on monster sets

This is a playstyle question. How much do you roll? Sneak? You can play stamblade a lot of different ways and some require more stam than others

I rock 32-34k with 26k HP but I play a super offensive brawler with high resist. I dont dodge roll much unless I need to.

Well it depends where the rest of your stats are at as well but I wouldnt go far under 30k, And at this point high regen and weapon damage would be vital.

Thats a good point, in nocp the sweetpot is around 29-31k imo. CP is around 38-41k. Rough numbers.

25k on no cp and it works brilliantly. There's no optimal value. It all depends on the rest of the build.

Very interesting - thank you for answerin peeps!.

For those with higher stam, say 33k+, what is your unbuffed damage and crit?

Same question to those with lesser stam 30k and under.

what sets is everybody using?

I like a high stamina pool and high recovery, as a stamblade that's about what matters to me. I have 42.X (something) stamina, and a recovery of around 2500. I rarely - if ever - run out of stamina, if I do it's because of some kind of debuffs etc. I had another 1k stamina, but I felt I had to get a Magicka glyph as well, and now I never really die from inability to cloak. So it was a fair change.

I wouldn't roll a stamina PVP character on anything less than AT LEAST 30k stamina (especially nightblade), a good one is 33-36 according to me.

High Stam pool is an all around good idea. helps you defend yourself (more blocking), do a little more damage, and sustain better.
