BiS discussion for Stamina Warden (PvE)

Casul

Hello everyone, I was hoping some of the number crunching guys/gals might be able to give me some direction to get the most out of my DPS Warden.

Currently I am gearing a Khajiit Stamina Warden.

My current setup

2x Kra’gh (Going to be velidreth once I get the shoulders)
5x Relequen
3x Agility
2x maelstrom dagger and axe
1x maelstrom bow

Thief mundus
Blue food (stam and hp)

This has been alright so far netting me parses in the 26-28k range, I should mention the front bar dagger and axe are not Gold as I planned on replacing them.

So let me get to my question...

Currently the set people run is Advancing Yokeda, the sheer amount of crit it gives makes it BiS for obvious reasons.

My question is being a Khajiit which of the following mundus and set combinations would net me the highest DPS.

Warrior & AY
Shadow & AY
Thief & AY
Lover & AY

Warrior & TFS
Shadow & TFS
Thief & TFS
Lover & TFS

Lastly I am currently using Flawless frontbar with Ballista backbar, should I use the bear? I try to avoid it because some groups ban it due to it aggroing adds before everyone is ready to engage.

If the answer is yes then should I use a combination below?

Warrior & WM
Shadow & WM
Thief & WM
Lover & WM

This is the minor thing but the bear can be de-aggroed with (Y + Right Click) and reaggroed with (Y + Left Click). At worse you can unsummon the bear. The bear is more DPS in part because of the passive buffs your weapon damage so you really should use it. You just gotta remember to use the control your pets thing because they may well aggro early.

Sorry should have mentioned I’m on NA/PS4 so no way to de-aggro.

So no way to unsummon? That's truly rough as the bear is a fairly big part of stamden PvE dps.
Sets/Mundus depend on your group's penetration but chances are any changes in max dps will be relatively minimal.

I am currently using Relequin and TFS. Bosmer, I think I am still using Warrior Stone, I'll have to check when the server comes back up.

I have never completed vMA . How easy is it to do on a Stam warden?

I was trying on a MagDK and failing really hard.

Try using Hunt leader and briarheart as your 2 sets on a Stam warden lots of heals and lots of recovery 😃

I did flawless on a werewolf setup so not totally sure lol, I had a lot harder of a time when I wasn’t in werewolf form for what it’s worth.

First, pets dont aggro on their own. Now they might be first to the fight if someone else aggros them, and they can cause issues when trying to stack adds for larger pulls, but they dont aggro by themselves.

As to what is best in slot, the frank answer is that it totally depends on your group and how much penetration they are giving you. But I can tell you that the answer is NOT VMA DW weapons. Haha

Lol I’m aware they aren’t the answer, that’s why I specifically mentioned I plan on replacing them.
