Have you noticed that there are no 8 trait sets for stamina builds?

As I am getting my last 8 traits on medium armor I thought it was about time to give it a look as to which sets were a good idea to try out for my V14 set.

I were actually shocked to discover that NONE of the 8 trait sets in any way benefit a stamina based damage dealer or any kind of stealth bonus! Which is more or less the two elements medium armor is about.

ALL the 8 traits is about health and magicka, magicka damage and survivability for tanks. One set has one stamina bonus build in together with the usual health and magicka bonuses and that's it. There is nothing else for stamina builds in ANY of the 8 trait sets.

I am getting convinced the devs never ever even considered that people would make non-spell casters in this game.

    Actually Arena works pretty good for stam users and is more geared towards Stam than anything else.

    Its a tank set. Break free and bonus on all 3 stats. There is no damage increase for stamina skills which is what a medium armor user need.

    All heavy armour VR10+ drops are for Magicka based characters also.

    The Fire set only is for Stamina, and helmet is the only part I have found VR12. The rest are VR11.

    A huge discount on the VR12/14 version of the Ravager Set would greatly appreciated imho. Is the only worthy set for Staminas but at 1.3 million AP for the set tad too expensive.

    There are sets that contribute to stamina, just not very many. I created the following chart for my own personal use in order to more easily visualize the bonuses you can get from each set, and how to piece them together.

    Hope this helps you out a bit:

    There aren't any 8-trait sets that directly help magicka DPS builds either, by your standards. Most of the 5-set benefits are for supporting benefits, not for increasing damage output.

    All 8 trait sets are inferior to white armor.

    Just saying.

    Awesome chart @dharbert‌. One thing though, isn't the whitestrake's 5 item bonus damage shield [24-840] instead of -480?

    I was just noticing this as well, also there are only two Crafted sets that have Stamina Recovery (Nights Silence and Oblivion's Foe) and five Crafted sets that have Magicka recovery ( Seducer, Magnus' Gift, Oblivion's Foe, Kagrenac's Hope, and Eyes of Mara) and Stamina recovery shares one of those sets (Oblivion's Foe).

    Hello ZOS, we need more Stamina recovery sets, like three more atleast....
