Any heavy stamblades still out there?

Valykc

I’ve been playing through on my stamblade, doing some quests, collecting skyshards, etc. I made my Nightblade and imperial because I prefer the human look, and it really made me consider playing heavy. I have some sets picked out to try once I get to 50 (I’m over CP810). I’m just curious what others are using for sets and are they using 2H/Bow, 2H/DW, 2H/SnB, etc? I was thinking NMA/Seventh, Shacklebreaker/Bone Pirate, Bloodspawn/Balorgh/Troll King, Master Bow/Dual wield

Better try it yourself. Most likely here play only in statistical builds maybe plus or minus one ability, although can several people will advise in theory, for example those who in each topic write. They don't need it, they'd better jump on DK. I'll be only too happy if you get a substantive answer. Gl with builds.

Stamblade is one of my lesser played classes, but at the beginning of this patch i played a dark elf stamblade, i believe i was using bloodspawn, shackle, and 7th legion, 5h/2m, dubious food.

Bow,2h or DW, especially if you don't have psijic for RAT you'll want 2h, since you you need the other morph of the class snare removal in order to proc 7th.

IIRC my bars were:

2h- assasins will, rally, reverse slash, ambush/crit rush, surprise attack, dawnbreaker or incap

Bow- vigor, uhhh the NB minor resist skill to proc 7th, siphoning attacks (w/e the stam version is), cloak, flex/inject/shade, tether heal ult or dawnbreaker/incap

If you go 2h+Dw, then the 2h would replace the bow, so

Dw- assasins will, flex(silver leash i like) ambush, surprise attack, spin2win

2h- vigor, rally/fwd momentum, resist skill (or flex if no 7th), siphoning attacks, cloak

Good luck!

Thanks @Gatdangmayne and @OrderoftheDarkness , I’ll try to keep you updated if I find anything successful. Might take a little bit since college just started back up but leveling should be the easy part, plenty of xp scrolls in the bank from daily rewards

7th legion does not work anymore. Since its change we do not have an ability that procs it and the old version of 7th legion was the only way in which we could properly run dark cloak. Even then stamblade was better off running medium armor for dark cloak build when it was viable. Fury is entirely counter productive to our class. It is garbage for us even with 7th legion. Your best option for heavy armor is to run spriggans/nma or leviathan/nma with nma crafted as heavy armor though the issue with this is that you can't frontbar nma like you can wearing medium armor. It is actually not bad but you will have a little less damage and you definitely have to weave in heavy attacks to keep your stamina up and I suggest running bloodspawn with it. 2h/bow is the best way to put out the most damage and be able to weave in heavy attacks at all times.

No nightblade can definitely proc seventh legion. IDR the name, but it's the other morph of phantasmal escape - it grants minor ward/resolve or whatever its called now

Yea I looked it up after posting that. Def interesting build.

StamDK is just better in every way.

I'm using 2/H and SnB with 5 piece heavy clever alchemist. Gryphon's ferocity front bar, 2 piece potentates for SnB back bar.
Its the closest I can get to a no buffing required build. Only Rally on front bar is required before I attack. I dont have to worry about a bunch of buffs on backbar I need to keep up while i'm in the middle of a fight.
