Stamblade "Forgivable" impreg+brass 3.9k wpnd dmg

inkorporated

I'm posting this because I have seen people start to use fighter guild skills to amp up wpnd dmg. Something I had never seen before. Something I've been doing for a while and something I have shared before in other places.

so on front bar 2 hand: i keep Relentless focus> Evil hunter(fighters guild)> Rally> Silver shards(fighters guild)> killers blade, ulti is Dawn Breaker(fighters guild) with 5% wpnd dmg morph.

Because I have 3 fighters guild skills on the front bar that is 9% wpnd dmg from fighter guild passives add the 5% from DB morph that's 13% wpnd dmg.
-Keep in mind since you are using 2hnd u can get 10% more dmg on next attack when you land a hvy attack. so hvy attack> silver shards scourge or execute for the extra dmg.
-Evil Hunter Gives Crit Rating and also good when fighting other NB.
-your spammable is silvershards it slows 40% and can fire upto 5 bolts dealing less dmg than the initial attack. When you hvy attack or light attack with 2hnd does dmg to up to 3 people nearby for less dmg. so you can weave hvy or light attacks and shards and hit multiple targets with both.

on back bar Bow : i keep Surprise Attack > leeching strikes> cloack> mirage> vigor, ulti is incap
Suprise attack is there for Major Fracture, which reduces their Physical Resistance by 5280 for 15 seconds. Also in case they are reflecting silver shards since that is your normal spammable.
Can also use as an opener to stun and apply the debuff.


This is not the best build out there but it is very balanced in terms of having high resistance high crit resistance high crit dmg high wpnd dmg high magicka and decent hp stam and stam regen.
this build is very forgiving and good for novice players atleast i think it is...

also the skills used and play style can be used with any build.

i keep disease enchant on 2hnd and wpnd dmg enchant on bow.

I use Tristat food. you can run dubious and get more regen but lose the magicka. or replace molag helm for bloodspawn lose wpnd dmg gain regen. or u can use 2 different monster pieces with wpnd dmg for more dmg. or use selen velidreth or bloodspawn set. i mean you can change the monster pieces mix and match in many ways.

so the video is of me playing using build and skills. now I am not very experienced I am learning as I go so the way I open I don't think is most efficient. i think hitting cloak> surprise attack= guaranteed crit and stun then light bow attacks> until u get scourge> light bow attacks until glyph procs> then cloak> incap> scourge> execute or incap> shards> scourge> execute. I'm not too sure I'm sure someone else can come up with a better opener or better burst rotation.

my UI is a mess and yes I can see when I'm playing.... tired of hearing "How do you see anything"

Screenshot Of Build

im sure the CP points are not put in best places because i dont really know the best place i just placed them where i think would be best.

The_Protagonist

Very nice, I love original builds. I would like to have more regen though, which means going a little lower on WD. But quite well done.

I just switched to running Brass and Impreg with Bloodspawn on my Stamblade. Was getting sick of cloak. I don't have the fighter's guild with stacked weapon damage, but I still get a decent amount. And the survivability is awesome.

Full mitigation build, still manage to pull 9k+ AW.. lols

I am deeply conflicted here.

No offence, but the gameplay is really weird. You are basically spamming Light Attacks all the time, and only using skills to execute? If i did not see in the Screenshot you were Rank 29, i would assume you were a total noob running around spamming light attacks. You REALLY should switch and make bow your frontbar, so you can weave with Silver Shards.

And then on the other hand, i do really love the build idea. Full focus on Wep Damage modifiers (Fighters Guild, Medium Armor, Infused Jewelry.) and then using the Set Bonuses to provide tankiness (Brass, Impreg). It is really niche and there is very decent synergy here. It is a well crafted build.

Besides from the weird playstyle, and my suggestion to change it up, i would also recommend switching to a 2pc Monster, instead of the Domi/Kena. Bloodspawn would be an excellent choice, since it provides more sustain and synergises really well with Impreg / Brass playstyle.

Also, you need more Sustain. ALOT more. I know you don't feel that way, but that is because you are only spamming LA. If you want to kill anyone competent, you need to start using abilities and weave those LA's. And for that you will need more sustain.

Anyways, like the out-of-the-box thinking on the build. Well done.

Agreed 100%

Again, I also really like the different method of thinking here. That cannot be stated enough.

Me personally, I tried both, and just wasn't a fan due to the low sustain. (I also love pressing my ability buttons too much)

Sarousse

Fortified brass is a bad choice.

Get Armor Master : 3 jewerly and the bow. On your backbar, put the dodge buff that will proc Armor Master buff.

That will allow you to use a unique 2h (Master, Maelstrom, sanctum Asylum) on your front bar withtout loosing the defense bonus as long as the buff lasts (18 secs).

I appreciate the feedback. and you are correct I am fairly new to ESO. and even newer to pvp. and when i started i played bowgangker for like 3 months. so i have maybe 3 months experience with stamblade PVP well one that's not a bow ganker that is... as for the playstyle the video was me attempting to gank lol. but in a duel per say, I would be hvyattack animation cancel into shards. which is what i did when my spammable was surprise attack. and using alot of light attacks from bow to proc scourge is a hell of alot easier than weaving melee attacks. im pretty sure most stamblades burst combos involve scourge somehow it is op if you land it that is.... but yes that's the general idea build up scourge put pressure once lower in hp cloak incap or cloak surprise attack then shards and scourge and or execute. and i play this way cuz ill rebel to anything. and dont like the fact that almost every stamblade build uses same skills.

Jeezye

Well I love unique builds, off-meta thinking and people coming up with their own ideas that they didn't steal from a youtube video. Your train of thought is quite original, but duh that gameplay is REALLY lackluster. Start weaving in abilities to your light attacks, keep your buffs up, be aware of your surroundings and .. so much more to say.

Anyways, I want to strongly encourage you to find your own playstyle, keep practising and pls don't listen to people forcing you into more "efficient" builds nightblade have a lot of different playstyles to offer (if not the most versatile of all classes) and provide enough playground for great unique builds!

geonsocal

wow, that build is both weird and wonderful...and, amazingly enough - i can actually understand the thought process behind it...


oh yeah - you're UI is a clear mark of a mad genius for sure - how the hell do you see anything

Not meta or a proc set, and definitely better than fortified brass.

malestrom and master wpnds are bis in alot of builds. and also reason i dont like master set is because i dont run shuffle dont like it and never seems to give the immunity and its too expensive so i run mirage. but i see what hes saying.

wozborne

Extremely weird build, but not everything has to be meta I guess. Recovs too low for me to say this is a beginner friendly build but I could see this being used effectively by a skilled player, especially in this high damage meta we’re in.

you can run dubious gain recovery lose the 18k magicka and it would be more on the normal side for stamblade or switch to a stam rec monster piece or change 1 ring to recovery and use 2 wpnd dmg monster pieces... mix and match monster pieces. and with leeching strikes u get stam back albeit not much from all the bow light attacks and easier or i guess safer to hvy attack with a bow from range for stam.

arkansas_ESO

You could swap Brass for 3x Protective and run a damage set in it's place to have more damage with the same mitigation

i tried 3 protective using shackle and spriggan but i dont think theres a damage set that will give what 3 infused dmg jewelry gives. and the 3 protective wont give same mitigation as brass 3 gold protective = 5532 resistance VS brass 8145 and u lose the 1kish HP brass gives. if u do 3 protective with dmg enchants u lose about 300 wpnd dmg. i might be wrong Math is hard.

never said i did anything op. but i hardly ever seen anyone post a video or stream stacking fighterguild skills. Dont think ive ever come across a build from any of the people who post build such as alcast dotzz etc and who ever else constantly posts builds where they stack fighterguild skills in their builds or anyone making a build using impreg and brass

It's a 10 second buff from Armor Master, not the same length as Shuffle, and therein lies a rub, because Shuffle is rather expensive. 10 second buffs are on the short side. If you've played warden, you'll have a feel for what that's like.

I have used Armor Master with Harness / Dampen on magblade, as I thought it fitted better with the frequent application of shields. Riposte is better for magicka really, but Armor Master was useful for the mix of boss fights and PvP in IC.

I suppose with the right discipline you'll negate Shuffle costs via the Unchained passive in CP campaigns.

Since the 2-slot bow / staff / 2H weapon changes in Summerset, Brass has become more attractive, I feel. The Armor Master's health bonus is also a bit situational, e.g. best for builds that otherwise have unbalanced health, such as nightblades with unbalanced shadow abilities, or Structured Entropy users.

I like Armor Master, but I don't think the case for it over Brass is that clear cut. The point about using a unique weapon on your other bar is totally valid, but you could arguably also limit Brass to your back bar and go there to turtle up, which is in fact what I do in one of my builds.

you need to use the armor ability to get the buff from armor master set. and i feel shuffle is way too expensive. dont use it at all i use mirage. which mirage gives passive spell and weapon crit. since i keep it on back bar same as vigor and incap i get the benefit from slotting it. albeit not much but better than nothing from shuffle. i can understand people using maelstrom or master weapon or asylum for that matter. but i rather not run any of those myself. but if you can make it work more power to ya. and since i have almost 18k magicka not hard to keep up mirage and saves u the 4k stam more stam more dmg and heals.

The_Protagonist

Love that play style of yours, it's unique and literally into their face, along with your damage, I believe they are also shocked to see a guy running at them with a shot gun

And which will be a massive stamina drain+time lose cause now he needs to shuffle literally every 10 seconds on a build with barely any regen.

So, back to the drawing board.
