I am using alcasts stam sorce build... more or less, i have relequeen , ma bow, briarheart > (should i use https://eso-sets.com/set/unfathomable-darkness instead?) and stormfist. I am not sure i can get the other set he recommends because i cant afford dlc or eso plus, i was gifted all the expansions however, because i won a twitch tv thingy.
there's 3 spammables i use shrouded daggers , rapid strikes and possibly crystal fragments for trials only, granted i am wondering how good crushing weapon compares to crystal fragments.

Alcast says to have cp that increases damage on the enemy backside but i really don't want it.

the spammable i use the most often in dungs is shrouded daggers because it gives me the 20% damage boost to weapon damage, however what cp affects this skill? does single target cp affect it, does direct damage affect it?
Is rapid strikes single target? aoe? dot dmg? direct damage?
I'm pretty sure crystal fragments is direct damage, but does the other cp , single target , aoe, dot affect it?
What is whirlwind blades, direct, single?

    Dear Mr. Stamina Sorkerer

    Both single target and direct damage cp affect shrouded.
    Rapid strikes is single target lol
    Crystal frags is affected by both single and direct.
    Whirlwind blades is definitely NOT single LOL but it is direct.

    Thank you,

    If it affects more than one target it's AOE.
    If it deals damage over time, it's NOT direct damage (although it can has a direct dmg component that is usually mentioned in the tooltip, e.g. poison arrow).

    Hail, Hurricane should be AoE DoT.
    Spin 2 Win is AoE direct.

    I am not versed enough into that build, nor stamina builds to really give you any support, but I did see someone else post this.
    Please note, I did not create this. The credit goes to the author on the infographic.

    Hope this helps some.

    Hello everyone,

    Thank you for understanding.

    You are going to find the content often dictates CP before class does. There are of course exceptions to most rules.

    In terms of Blue CP, what you really care about are the slottables. Otherwise, use a little common sense to fill out the passives, but work to get your slottable CPs as a priority. A safe bet for the vast majority of content is Fighting Finesse (Crit Damage, PVE is all about crit), Deadly Aim (single target, even if just for light attacks), Master at Arms (direct damage, which is a lot of it), and a flex. Backstabber is often the best choice for single target, especially for bosses in group content where you have a tank to position the boss for you. Second best choice, best a lot of times, is Biting Aura for the AOE. I usually slot this over backstabber for 4 man content, and in trash pulls in trials. If using a really DOT heavy build, you could make room for Thaumaturge.

    If you dont want to run Backstabber, and dont have the CP for multiple Slottable options, I would go Fighting Finesse, Deadly Aim, Master at Arms, Biting Aura for the vast majority of PVE content, on just about any class.

    Spammable is a judgement call, but dont use more than one at a time. The Major Brutality you get from Shrouded daggers can easily be obtained from potions of from Crit Surge. It doesnt stack if you have multiple sources.

    If you are solo, crit surge and hurricane are the best combo you have to stay alive. Crit surge heals on crit damage and gives major brutality, Hurricane is a big AOE that is virtually always hitting something. There is no benefit to multiple sources of Major Brutality, so crit surge is all you need. Not saying dont run shrouded daggers, but just something to think about. Shrouded daggers are a popular option if you get the Vateshran DW weapons. All the obvious spammables, Rapid Strikes, Daggers, Ele weapon, Crystal weapon, are going to be within a few k of each other and some will work in some situations better than others. Pick the one that feels the best and go with it.

    Also, if you have relequen, dont use Unfathomable. You really dont want to run double proc sets in PVE. I would only consider Unfathomable if you didnt have rele, and even then, not sure it would be my first choice. Rele/Briarheart is a great combo to get you into harder content.
