Ultimate PvP StamDK build?

gamerguy757 · June 2016

I have a stamDK build that I have in mind, actually a couple. I have a bow/2h that will slay, but my NB will run the same build, so I'm trying something unique.

5x Glory (3 Jewelry, 2 Armor)
4x Morkuldin (4 armor [3 Heavy, 1 Medium])
1x Blood Spawn (Medium)
2x Leki's Focus (Sword and Shield)
1x Maelstrom GS
Redguard
Warrior or Serpent Mundus

The heavy armor is for the buff to the passives from the recent patch. Plus I will get extra health and Stamina I don't need to worry too much with the Redguard passives. Plus Blood Spawn and Morkuldin will give a buff to Recov.
Well-Fitted on the Heavy Armor
1 Impenetrable
1 Divines
Shield will be Reinforced
Sword is Sharpened
MS Greatsword is Sharpened (I have 2 of these)

I also have a DW/2h build
5x Morag Tong (1 jewelry, 4 armor)
4x Hunt (2 jewelry, 2 armor)
1x Blood Spawn
2x Maelstrom Axes (sharpened)
1x Maelstrom Maul

@gamerguy757 aka Virginia beach dude

Gear Setup: 5 Piece Hundings Rage (Main Armor so always on) and 5 Piece Marksman (Need bow to utilize 5 piece). 6 Medium 1 Heavy for reduction of stamina,increased regen, more crit, and more dodge rolls.
Helmet Heavy Hundings Rage - Infused
Chest Medium Hundings Rage - Infused (Will be changing to Impenetrable for DB)
Legs Medium Hundings Rage - Infused
Shoulder Medium Molag Kena - Divines
Waist Medium Marksman Impenetrable
Gloves Medium Hundings Range - Impenetrable
Feet Medium Hundings Rage - Divines
Necklace Marksman Enchantment - Weapon Damage
Rings (2) Marksman Enchantment - Weapon Damage

That's what I run as of now and it's pretty amazing. I've got a youtube video of me using the build against multiple players :P

@MaxwellCrystal I take it you're from Virginia Beach as well?
Also, I actually rock that EXACT BUILD ON MY NIGHTBLADE lol.

My normal 2h/bow build is this:
5x Morag Tong (1 jewelry, 4 armor) [this is getting buffed to CP160 from vendors now]
5x Marksman ( 2 jewelry, 2 armor, 1 bow)
1x Molag Kena
1x Maelstrom GS

I want to try out the heavy armor build since since it is getting a good buff this patch. Plus the 5-piece dodge chance stacks with Major Evasion, causing a 30% dodge chance every light attack.

5x Tava's medium 5x ravager Malestrom 2h and agility snb
7 pieces impen(8 on SnB bar)

Agility is better than leki's 2 piece because it gives better overall damage and max stats are extremely valuable on stam DK due to class passives.

Since the "trick" to playing stam DK well is stack shuffle dodge chance with roll dodge to gives you a huge uptime on dodge chance, Tava's is a perfect choice. Since you're running a purely melee build you'll have no problem proc'ing ravager. And since you'll have high max stamina you'll b able to use igneous + battle roar to maintain resources effectively. Ideally you'll be a redguard, they're passives are perfect for this setup.

This build allows you stack crit resistance and base resistances, have a TON of burst and sustained damage and plenty of resource sustain while also having a large dodge window AND access to reflect

Edit: If you run this on PC you'll probably get reported since you have very high ultimate uptime
