Nicely done laddie:}

Ok now that you've shown that all 4 classes can do this, no stam user can complain about it being too hard.

Good job man.

There is only 2 things I consider broken in the vMA:
Stage 7 on bossfight when you have to get into blue bubble and then Flower explodes you cant get out = rekt
Stage 9 on bossfight Crematorial guard just reks you way too hard as stamboy

Still, Magicka Sorc and NB have a way easier time in there than ANY other class or setup...

Nice videos but i'm wondering, how well would someone do not running DW+2H on a stamina build here?

What else you want to run?
Sword n Board is 100% useless
Bow is crap since 1.6

Nice job.

Would you be willing to post your gear and stats? I play a stamina NB and I'd like to compare a bit to see what I'm doing wrong.

How is sword and board 100% useless? Defensive Stance is easily the most powerful stamina ability I can think of in VMSA outside of Vigor. So many boss mechanics are reflectable and mobs are constantly being stunned by it plus it is cheap as hell. There may be some Arenas where you would want dual wield or a bow over Sword and Board since Rally makes 2hander too necessary but the final fight almost seems designed for Sword and board.

The daedroths are also easy to fight by circling around them as they breath and using dodge roll. Hell I used these tactics to fight them far more on my sorc than using a damage shield to try and "tank" it which almost always gets you killed or drains your magicka when you can't afford that.

I run 2H/DW as well, but it looks like you are hitting harder and taking less damage than I do in many of those fights. Can you post the gear you were using and champion points please?

You can just bash the boss channel in stage 7?

Gap close and bash or use bow ranged interrupt on stage 7. I'm not sure how you are supposed to melee a Crematorial Guard. I would pop a speed pot and down it with bow.

They have a slow turn speed if you run around them as they breath they wont even do damage to you as long as you keep using instant cast abilities on them. On my sorc I just would run around them spamming reflect + crushing shock on them when they breathed.

Please no matter what you do; do not interrupt the Behemoth!

For the love of everything which is Azura, Boethiah and Mephala don't do it! If you interrupt the Behemoth he gets extremely angry and upset. He enrages and savages you like a pack of zombies savage a person who's unable to run away.

Bolstering Darkness ulti reduces damage taken by 60%.

I mean really? You think that's a good argument? That's like taking the one chick that can complete the army ROT training and saying since she did it it's not broken for other chicks. Terrible argument made by someone that has some other horse in the fight. Look at numbers I guarantee magika classes will have a greater representation in VMA clears. Jeesh. I am a fail blade (stamina night blade ) that can't clear it thank you for the vid going to try your set up. I think quick cloak maybe gives the extra survivability and mobility that I'm looking for.
