All this talk about stam builds killing it? Best in Slot for Stamblades?

WhoSlappedThePie

Hi, stam builds keep getting a lot of good press in battlegrounds; they keep kicking my ass thats for sure.

What is considered best in slot skills and sets? ..if you can't beat em' join em'.

5 BP + 5 Shackle + 2 Selenes' DW/2H is what's the most popular stamblade setup. I encourage everyone to run a stamblade! I'm all for easy AP

One "generic" setup is a 7 medium open world stamblade with 2 selene/trollking/veli/bloodspawn, 5 bone-pirate (armor), 3 agility on jewelry, asylum 2h sword (nirn if your planning to run cost / dot poisons, infused if youre planning to run disease enchant for more defile uptime) , master bow (infused berserk glyph 450 (550ish after major brutality) unbuffed weapon damage for 5 seconds)

Another setup (current patch) (nonproc, raw stats) ive used was 5 bone-pirate (2 armor + 3 jewelry), 5 shackle, asylum 2h, master bow

But ive also seen alot of interresting heavy armor stamblade setups (mostly in dueling environment), i assume they can work but i feel like medium armor especially for open world is essencial for the mobility aspect of nightblades' playstyle + you have a burst heal with rally instead of going heavy armor route and forward momentum.

For next patch i can see myself running 5 Bone-Pirate, 5 Shackle, and a monster set of choice since 2h and bow count as 2 item set pieces.

And for optimal race it really depends if youre planning to run a heavy or medium setup, for heavy id run a redguard or orc, and for med armor id run a woodelf for the juicy 21% stam regen.

I currently run 5 hundings, 3 agility, 1 kena, 1 velidreth, 1 Asylum two hand, with a random bow on my back bar.

In Summerset, I will be switching the agility, random bow and Asylum two hander for Bone Pirate though. Probably run Bone Pirate jewelry and two body pieces and Hundings weapons and body. Keeping the 1 kena, 1 veli setup because it really boosts weapon damage.
