This. I parked my stam warden and went back to stam sorc. Streak/Dark Deal is just a game changer. I run bound armaments and use 1h/s for the la/pierce/bash combo with bone pirate, shacklebreaker, and tremorscale in 5h/2m with infused weapon damage glyph on front bar. I stay at 3500 WD and 35k stam, so the burst from that combo is insane. It’s a perfect mixture of burst, heals, and sustain IMO. It’s such an underrated class.CatchMeTrolling wrote: »Stamina sorc is a sad class, they have so much potential, but are just missing some things. Imo the stat pool and regen on a stam sorc is completely lacking without bound armaments and with it you don’t have enough skills. For example on my warden I can run 7th and Spriggans and have 1900 stamina regen with the serpent stone and not that doesn’t even count the Netch regen. On my stam sorc I can have less regen with bone pirates and the serpent stone equipped unless bound armaments is slotted at which point I have about the same minus what the Netch would give me
Stam Sorc is actually a really solid class right now, probably has the most build diversity out of all the classes simply because of dark deal allowing you to stack damage.
I’m glad many people don’t see how good they actually are, especially in bgs because if played right right it’s the best stam class in bgs and top tier in open world.
Stam Warden is actually a very boring class in comparison
I’ve been trying out fortified brass, bone pirates and troll king either 5/2 or 5/1/1 medium. It’s okay. I don’t think stam sorcs work all that well without some sort of cheese set anymore. Imo the bound armaments change was not a help at all, they might even be slightly worse off that pre Summerset. They need a class damage skill really *** badly, preferably with some aoe on it to synergize with hurricane to help with out numbered fights. And the continued fact that they’re missing out on 4 passives which is an entire skill lines worth just doesn’t help. If it wasn’t for dark deal they would be an awful garbage class. They just don’t sustain well anymore without using DD constantly or running some combo of sustain sets. And again, in terms of available damage skills they’re even worse than stamina DK.

While I'm really liking willow nowadays in no cp I'm still not sold on going infused instead of robust. And with burst damage being so outrageous now I just cant see giving up impen. Just my opinion
great thread and lots of good ideas...i've never really figured out how to be super effective with my stam sorc - but, I have figured out how to have fun...
2H/bow, 7 medium (mighty chudan, sword singer and coward's gear)...I play most of my characters at a fairly pedestrian pace - but, the coward's gear and all medium forces me to have to play at a very rapid pace...immovable pot - you can't catch me...
currently my bar set up is:
Bow - caltrops, vigor (or dark deal), endless hail (or lethal arrow), bound aegis (I like the minor ward and resolve - plus, i get to use magicka for something ), poison injection and negate magicka (or storm atronach)...
2H - brawler, rally, executioner, bound aegis, wrecking blow (or crit rush) and berserker rage...
at some point I need to replace coward's with bone pirate, but, having fun with the build at the moment...
also, just recently turned the character to a werewolf - even more fun

One advice : outside of times where you intend to go perma wolf, drop chudan and slot hurricane (best stam sorc ability with crit surge and dark deal)
