What's better for pvp?

N0TPLAYER2 · July 2016

I'm debating and could use some input

Would I be better off, making a survivabilty build that also has decent weapon damage, for pvp, having an extra 600 weapon critical (night mother) or use a monster helm for that extra health boost? Possibly blood spawn for the extra Stam recovery.

Also, divines (using shadow) or impen?

Here's my build idea for those wondering

Stamina dk
All Pvp
Want great damage and sustainability
2 hand and bow

5 hundings
1 kena

Impen or divines

And either 2 morkuldun for stamina, 1 monster helm for 1000 health, or blood spawn for 169 Stam recovery

3 agility - all have weapon damage now, will be enchanted to add Stam recovery (on however many need them)

Shadow stone

All of my previous builds have had huge damage numbers but very low stamina recovery. I'm really wanting to push 2k recovery at least with around 3500-4000 weapon damage. Again any input is helpful. Thanks!

Impen is a must have in PvP. No other trait comes even close to that one. If you want survivability that is.
Shadow mundus is kinda meh in PvP, most people I know of (and myself) go with the serpent mundus stone for the regen buff.
Crit is kinda pointless as every decent player is using impen. I'd go for Bloodspawn.
With Bloodspawn, Serpent mundus and maybe one stamina recovery glyph on your jewelry you should have enough sustain.
General stam build looks more or less like this: 3 agility, 5 piece set, 1 Kena, 1 Bloodspawn, Maelstrom weapons (if 2h and bow)

Edit: You could also try using 5 Skirmisher and 5 Hundings/Eternal Hunt/Marksman/whatever else for high weapon damage and some sustainability.

Thanks. Pretty much what I figured. I don't have arena weapons, but yeah 5 hunding, 1 kena, 1 blood spawn. 3 agility.

I am using wrothgar food for health and Stam recovery. I'm guessing a blue food for pvp is what's normal. Anyone use the recovery food?

Well if you use the max health & stam recovery food you shouldn't need more than Bloodspawn and Serpent mundus to sustain.
Completely legit choice of food. Otherwise I'd suggest tristat food if you feel like you don't need that much recovery.

If you don't have impen your basically wasting your time in PVP because your free AP.I used to use it on my NB but switch to max Stam and blue food.On my Red guard and can manage my stamina well.Its very useful and can help out a lot.

I use this setup with my stamplar with 3x agility (1x regen - 2x weapon dmg), weapon power glyph on my Leki's maul and foulness on my Leki's bow. 100 cps in Mighty and most of what is left over in armor penetration.

Take some ZOS people from the PVE room and add them to the empty PVP room
