Stamplar...suggestions for a different build?

Rhaegar75

I have to say that so far I've followed the main builds that were suggested by many experienced players...I must admit they work well (Ravager, Bone Pirate with some possible changes like Draugr Hulk or even Fortified Brass for more defense).


I had a good look at the billion of gear that ESO offers and I'm now wondering why certain armours are not really used regularly in PvP. I'm particularly curious about some proc sets especially when I played against a magplar who hut me like a truck with Calurion and Sload

Stam wise I got interested in the following sets:

• Defiler: (5 items) When you deal Critical Damage, you have an 8% chance to summon a Hunger that spews poison to all enemies in front of it, dealing 6000 Poison Damage and stunning enemies hit for 5 seconds. This effect can occur once every 5 seconds.

• Pillar of Nirn: 5 items) When you deal damage, you have a 10% chance to create a fissure underneath the enemy after 1 second, dealing 2000 Physical Damage to all enemies within 2.5 meters and causing them to bleed for an additional 8000 Physical Damage over 10 seconds. This effect can occur once every 10 seconds

• Red Mountain (5 items) When you deal damage with a Weapon ability, you have a 10% chance to spawn a volcano that erupts after 1 second and fires a projectile at the nearest enemy that deals 8400 Flame Damage. This effect can occur once every 2 second

• Twin Sisters: (5 items) When you block an attack, you have a 20% chance to cause all enemies within 5 meters of you to bleed for 8600 Physical Damage over 8 seconds. This effect can occur once every 8 seconds

• Viper: 5 items) When you deal damage with a Melee Attack, you deal an additional 6400 Poison damage over 4 seconds. This effect can occur once every 4 seconds

• Eternal Hunt: (5 items) When you use Roll Dodge, you leave behind a rune that detonates when enemies come close dealing 8125 Poison Damage and immobilizing them for 1.5 seconds

• Morkuldin: (5 items) When you deal damage with a Light or Heavy attack, you have a 10% chance to summon an animated weapon to attack your enemies for 15 seconds. The animated weapon's basic attack deals 4551 Physical Damage

• Plague Slinger: (5 items) When you take damage, you summon a Skeever corpse which will launch 5 poison balls over 5 seconds that deal 5160 Poison Damage each at the nearest enemy. This effect can occur once every 15 seconds

Are you guys using any of those? I'm sure I've left several other examples out....on paper they look great hence my curiosity related to rarely seeing them around...am I missing something out? I'd love to try them all out myself but as you can imagine time and gold are sadly not infinite!!

Only one out of those I would use is viper.
Give cyrodiil ward a shot. You’ll enjoy it

I'm not a fan of proc sets as you don't really get better when sets do the killing for you.
That being said I'm quite fond of
2p bloodspawn
5p hulking
5p bone pirate

Rhaegar75

I think I'll slowly try them. Maybe in this order:

Defiler
Pillar of Nirn
Morkuldin
Twin Sisters
Red Mountain

My fav mix is still Ravager, Bone Pirate and Troll king but I'm bored of the same set up

I always use a defensive sets and one offensive set together.

Offensive + sustain sets are good while you are free to move, but I'm not so a skilled Player that's why I need to be strong to don't die always 2 minutes of respawn.

I'm totally with you on the offensive + sustain.

The only thing is that I find lots of sets rather attractive (on paper) and I'm curious why no one seems to mention them....maybe they are crap!

A lot of them is the randomness. Getting them to actually land is one thing. Lack of control is another.

People I know think I am crazy as I love CW but I have tried the more damage sets and it feels worthless when your target just heals to full. Works on my NB where I burst more, but sustain pressure is where my stamplar excels.

Brrrofski

I'm using fortified brass, bone pirate and balorgh. 2h and bow. I love the setup.

susmitds

Trying a Mechanical Aquity Khajiit and loving it. Never seen that kind of burst even on an NB.

jaime1982

I'm using BP jewels-2body, master weps, 3pc cowards and a 2hander for back bar. Change monster as I please. Love the set up.

Vapirko

Some of it has to do with the 2-4 bonuses as well. Sets like bone pirate and ravager are so solid and reliable that other things just fall short. But it depends on what you want to do. Damage proc sets tend to be better in big groups and Xv1 situations or for ganking. For solo and small scale play aside from that, it’s better to have raw stat boosts from proc sets that boost healing and such.

Alucardo

I know it might seem kind of vanilla, but I'm still enjoying Slimecraw x2, Hulking and Bone Pirate. Had that setup for some time now, and it's still rockin'

I use the same thing.

Using spriggan and Bpirate with bloodspawn with gold infused weapon damage jewelry since everyone is crying about heavy right now, I figure I may as well play medium in prep for an incoming huge heavy damage set nerf. Running Nord with temporal guard and 2 piece death wind on backbar makes it tanky in exchange for sustain or more damage. My first week of stamplar, and I just wish my other stam characters performed like this. It's no magplar but DAMN! I'll get bored with it tho and go back to stam sorc hardmode
