    Every person has slightly different playstyle. I always think first about playstyle I want to do, then I go through all the sets and decide what to use.

    Don't use Automaton

    - Incap is disease damage, Soul Harvest is magic damage (won't be buffed by automaton).
    - Killer's blade is disease damage (won't be buffed by automaton)
    - Assassin's Scourge (Relentless Focus proc) is disease damage (won't be buffed by automaton).

    don't use Automaton on a stamblade, it's a bad set. These 3 skills are the bulk of your dps.

    Night Mother's Gaze + Agility + 2 Hundings daggers if you don't have access to trial/master/maelstrom.
    If you have access to vDSA replace that with 5 NMG + 3 agility + 2 master daggers and a monster set (2 Kra'gh).



    What you can do is to go to Craglorn, wait for someone to LFG for normal Sanctum Ophidia ( the call should be "LFM nSO") enter and farm Two-Fanged Snake and Vicious Ophidian.

    VO jewelry will be blue, but it's fine, still better than Spriggan, as for weapons and body pieces, you'll get them blue then upgrade. VO is a fantastic set for sustain, and it's my personal set of choice for vMA. 5 pieces of VO will reduce the cost of your stamina abilities, restore 2k stamina every time you kill something and give you major expedition, on top of the 5% damage buff from minor slayer (3pc).

    If you don't want to bother with TFS, go spriggan, but if I were you I'd keep a set of Night Mother's Gaze and a set of Hunding's Rage for your body, and use one or the other. Spriggan is only really helpful for dummy parses if you don't have access to TFS (TFS is better than Spriggan), otherwise NMG is better (group utility).

    Hundings is a very good set for trials where someone is already applying NMG and Sunder, otherwise you can switch to NMG.

    The reason I say NMG rather than Spriggan is because Spriggan gives you flat penetration, while NMG applies a debuff the whole group can benefit from, so it's more beneficial and you can keep it for the long run.

    Hope this helps.
    Safe travels.

    Doh, misread the thread thought it said StamSorc!

    I can't readily get them if they ate from trials

    If you're looking outside of trials and trial gear, Mechanical Acuity (axe + sword or mace) + Spriggans
