WoodElf Stamplar PvP

JerzeeDevil

Lover mundus stone, full Undaunted etc., NMA + Deadly Strikes+ Blood Spawn dual wield and bow.

Looking for smart guy maths on re-doing CP allocation.

Idk, wherever I tried to make non-onslaught stamplar build in U24, lack of major fracture always gimped it when I did burst tests. So I guess you may want S&B/master's bow or S&B/brp dw to have access to it. You need to block those new blastbones anyway also ZOS grants us +10% block mitigation next patch..

You plan to use DB or sweeps? ballista is not buffed by deadly strikes last time I checked... and toxic barrage easily countered by things like Mist.

Power of the light? Biting jabs for sure

Dawnbreaker, and Ice Comet for the [snip] n giggles.

I do not like 2H.

I'm tired of 2H as well. But penetration is sort of weird stat... it might seem like it gives only 8% damage increase (5280/660=8), but in practice damage increase is not raw 8% but difference between mitigation of penetrated and non-penetrated armor.

For example let's say target has 30k armor and you have ~15k penetration from CP, lover, bosmer, maces, NMA.
It means it will have 15k resistance left, which is 22.7 mitigation and 61.35% with battle spirit

If you have 20k penetration with major fracture, only 10k will be left, which is 15.1 mitigation and 57.55% with battle spirit.
Looks like only 3.8% difference, but let's compare actual damage reduction to 10k typical spammable.
It will deal 3865 damage with 15k pen and 4245 damage with 20k pen = 4245/3865 = 9.8% damage difference!
That's why it so effective to stack mitigation and to penetrate mitigation - the more you stack the more effective it becomes. Stamplar suddenly became top-tier not only because of dot nerfs etc... but because onslaught removed his main weakness.

Idk, man. Bow/DW is really in bad shape. I switched 10 hours ago from 2H/bow to 2H/S&B.. yeah, I lost mobility, I lost ~500 WD. But it feels like tankiness doubled or tripled.

I love this combo too and played bosmers for majority of the time with it. Unfortunately ZOS thinks that DW/Bow and Legolas or Link's playstyle should be inferior and everybody should run around with 2-hander and S&B, because those 2 weapons are much more powerful then all others. As you can see in U25 patch notes, templar received +10% to block mitigation. They don't want us to be mobile, they want players to stay against each other spamming block heals and ult damping.

Archer for sure! <
