Over the weekend I completed Maelstrom on my Stam Warden. Yay! No really, it felt pretty good and I am still tickled by it after how long I was stuck there. Then I decided to work on a skeleton. Gold weapons, purple gear, VO/NMG/Mighty Chudan/ Maelstrom Bow.
I barely pull 16k DPS, but I just beat Maelstrom. I actually tried stormfist, but it caused all sorts of crazy lag and the extra resistance really helps from getting instantly melted by guards.
I would be ashamed of myself taking this guy into vet anything, and I haven’t; but you know. Stormproof. My Stamplar is about the same, StamSorc is a little better. The only Stam toon I actually have decent Skeleton DPS on is my StamBlade and it relies so much on relentless, I think it’s actually worthless in Trials where the lag is ridiculous. The execute damage is really good though.
PetSorc
StamSorc
StamBlade
Stamplar
StamWarden
All Stam using VO/NMG/Monster/Maelstrom Bow.
Stam recovery jewelry goes a long way. Few piece of well fitted ain’t so bad. Race makes a significant difference and also resistance, ie Redguard/Mighty Chudan
Shoot for 18k+ Health 1500+ Stam recovery 3200+ Weapon Damage and close to 20k resistance
Magic builds are not quite as generic to be successful I think.
So anyways, I have a Mag Warden, DK, Nightblade that need Stormproof now. I’ve got the gear now lol. Well, I could use a few more lightning Staffs so they don’t have to share. I’m not worried about my Stam DK or Mag Templar since they never take DPS roles....but maybe one day
Not really sure how this ended up as my goal, but here I am now. So glancing over Maelstrom builds that require Maelstrom weapons makes sense now.
I’ve actually only done it 2 times straight through. Leaderboards on a Sorc are not gonna happen for me anytime soon, but I got one on StamBlade. That really shocked me. You could get leaderboards very easy on warden or Templar right now I think. If that is your goal. I’m just looking for completes still. And a little gear.
The Mag Warden looks like basically copying PetSorc build with a few different skills thrown in. We’ll see.
