Looking for Stamplar Help

LukosCreyden

Hello everyone. Just levelled my stamplar to 50 and finished derping around in under 50 pvp. I am now looking at gear options for my stamplar, with a focus on 2H/Sb. I have an idea so far, but would like some input:

5x Sload's medium armor (I know it was nerfed, but have heard it is still decent.)
5x Seventh Legion jewelry and weapons.
2x Bloodspawn or Troll King (More ideas appreciated here. My Bloodspawn shoulder is in light.)

Front Bar 2H:
Stampede
PotL
Forward Momentum
Jabs
Executioner
Ult- DboS

Back Bar Sb:
Deep Thoughts
Vigor
Binding Javelin
Chanelled Focus
Extended Ritual
Ult- Undo (damage reduction morph)

I will likely be running dubious, as I am playing Khajiit (got a whole Dro-M'athra theme thing going on).

So, please tear my build to tiny pieces and give me some feedback! I would also love some input as to what enchants I should run. Any and all feedback would be great. Cheers

Since you're going to be in medium those monster sets (as far as defensive/sustain is concerned)are probably your best bets. If you want an offense set I personally just slot slimecraw and not worry about the others.

I personally would go spriggan, automaton or hulking draugr over sloads for more consistent, reliable damage but that's just me.

Also a couple of ability suggestions. Reverb bash over binding javelin--You have to be in their face but I find that CC more reliable.
- You can probably use crit rush as a flex (unlesss that's key to your playstyle) because meta stamplars aren't usually running a gap closer. Looks great otherwise.

Since you're in medium armor, you could switch out Crit Rush for Shuffle, change Forward Momentum to Rally, and trait-change jewelry to Swift.

I'd swap sloads for Bone pirate as Sustain is the biggest issue of stamplars atm.
As mundus you will probably need serpent along with 1 stam regen glyph.

As mentioned above using reverb over javalin is a very good choice as reverb gives you 2 things:
Easy access to major defile which means you have to deal a lot less damage vs many builds.
You don't push the enemy out of range which costs you important time of your burst window

We could add that reverb is slightly cheaper (i think 30 stamina)

Javalin on the other hand gives you a chance to proc burning light ---> more burst
Can double stun people with lag involved ---> very annoying for you and the enemy unless you plan on zerging them (pls don't be that guy)
Is a ranged damage option which will come in handy in some situations

I'd still say use reverb as it is so much better combat wise and it is more reliable


With the sets, mundus and glyph is adviced above i'll add something.
Drop deep thoughts for ransack especially if you want to 1vX with that stamplar build.

Ransack gives you access to major fracture which will result in a damage increase while also giving you minor ward/resolve which reduces the damage you take.
More importantly with medium armor you will have to play defensively and not be able to be on your 2h bar all the time, with your current bar setup that means you lose any damage potential outside of LA weaves and bash (however i wouldn't advise bashing too much as it drains even more stam)
With PotL and some ransack+la on an enemy you can still deal good damage even when you have to dodge and block.

You can also use heroic Slash but for me ransack performs better as it costs about half as much and gives me more damage something which helps if you have to stop your burst combo in order to survive in 1vX and defensive wise ransack is better in 1vX as you won't be able to hit everyone with it. Even if it's just 1320 resistances it will reduce the damage of everyone.

For duels heroic wins but then I'd play a bleedplar as the pressure is just so nice.


I'd swap FM for rally and drop stampede for shuffle.
The reason is with Stamplar you need the longest of all classes to release your full burst.
This means you will often come to the point where you risk it to finish the burst with jabs or you play defensively again, with the burst heal that rally offers you, you can stay offensive longer as you can just heal back up if you were offensive a little too long, especially when you start playing stamplar you will experience that you fail to estimate the right timing which will end in a fast death or enemies who simply won't die (especially sorcs and classes with a spammable burst defence)


Trollking is a great set on stamplar however it's always risky to play it on a medium armor build as you are much more vulnerable to being bursted while having more than 50% of your health which means that stamnbs can make it hard to make good use of the set, once its procced however trollking is very potent as it gives you a longer offensive window.


Bloodspawn and medium armor also suffers against stamblades and stamwarden bursts more often than not these classes can kill you before bloodspawn procs as the proc chance is rather low.
You can play with 2 mixed resistance sets like pirate skeleton and chudan which will help you to prevent those deaths by upfront burst but it will decrease your effectiveness vs anything else.
