Am i missing something here.

What's point of upgrading jewelry from purple to yellow. The stats aren't that great and the overly experience sets. Is there a hidden magic/stamina buff.

Next question, I've watch many nb videos and read many different article on gear nb, but my dos still sucks even for stamblade. My set up because the gear was cheap. Us 5 price rage and 5 piece green orbs. Should I switch out the rage for tbs.

I am using purple jewelery with Kutta echantment glyph.

It increases my spell damage from 160 to 174, which is great.

And gold jewlery buff set stats bonus, so its good to have (but purple can do the job)

Just seem yellow way over price, dont care how rare it is. If the stats weren't so small I could it see.

Before I ask this noob question, understand ive been playing this for a little over a year off and on. I've always play a magic class, figured I would play Stan. What I dont understand and kind of but not sure. Magic is increased by a staff right and stamina increases weapon damage. So all stamina ability is based off weapon damage right or I am miss something here.

Some players prefer Legendary jewelry to squeeze every bit of DPS, healing or resistance.

But the vast majority use them just because they're golden and before they start dropping from veteran trials, they were super rare so, it's like "all that glitters is gold..."

But for being yellow the stats are a little weak. For the price those stats should be a little stronger.

Well if you get yellow you literally min/ac a build to the limit, you cannot get better stats on it.

Your max stam pool also increases your attacks. In general the damage abilities using stam go off stam+weapon damage and those using magicka go off spell damage+magicka.

You can keep Hunding's Rage if you'd like, but for maximum dps you should switch to Agility jewelry set (although that's a bit expensive to get, but a stamina necklace and 2 health or even magicka rings should be good, as long as you have all atributes in stamina). 5 Hunding's Rage, 4 Night Mother and 3 Agility are a nice and simple combo to use, which will help you reach a decent dps number. No need for anything to be yellow aside from your weapons, purple will do you just fine, as long as it's full divines and enchanted with stamina glyphs.

I ran that set when I was lvling except the agility set, not paying almost 500k for agility set. Any good ulimates that r base off Stan, seems like they all magicka.

Why would increasing the max pool of your Stamina or magicka increase your damage. Dw or 1h sword, I personally enjoy killing blow. But it seems NB has many different rotation for good dos compared to other classes. Very versatile class.

The damage of skills from bow, dual weild, two-handed and 1H/S, as well as stamina morphs of class skills scale off Max Stamina + Weapon Damage, so increasing the max stamina helps a lot to increase your damage.

Ultimates scale off your highest stats, some deal magic and some deal physical damage, but using an ultimates that deals magic damage isn't always a bad thing (for example, I use Standard of Might on my stamina dragonknight even though it deals Fire damage). Flawless Dawnbreaker is a great ultimate to have on your main bar, since having it slotted increases your weapon damage.

And yes, getting full stamina Agility is too expensive, hence my suggestion of using health or magicka rings instead of stamina rings, as they are a lot cheaper to buy.

So stamblades r basically glass cannon if u have the right sets. My only concern is survivability, seems like u wont have too much health. Would like to start doing dungeons and trials, been only doing pvp. I really appreciate the help, just like to have a good decent dps set before I step a foot inside l.

If I am going to craft gear, would TBS be better option than the rage set. And after checking the market for agility set, what is better option that isn't so freakin expensive (i am on Xbox, the market way overpriced). I am just trying to build something fit me and there r so many option now, its truly overwhelming.

Go google a stam blade shadow of the hist pve dps build, shouldn't be hard to find one.

Get a robust agility neck and 2x healthy rings.

A lot of the crazy OP stam builds found online are depending on maelstrom weapons. For example, the maelstrom dagger: "your flurry grants 3k weapon and spell damage on the next single-target damage over time effect cast within 4 seconds." The maelstrom greatsword: "your critical charge deals an additional 11,610 physical damage over 5 seconds AND increases your weapon damage by 189, just for being slotted."

Already did that, thx tho. The price of anything agility on Xbox is freakin ridiculous.

The common notion is green and blue jewelry are worthless. Purple is standard and Gold is sought after.

Honestly I just sell all of my blue set pieces I get to a merchant since I know nobody else will want them.

Would be nice but that requires me to bang my head against the wall, i would rather my slam my i cant say in the door jam; than to deal with the rng drop rates.

5 piece TBS, 5 piece viper or red mountain and two set of something else. Good gear sets or not really, try to ask my guildies but its like talking to brick walls some times.

Soundwave · September 2016

So i went with rage, agility health, two piece mother and two piece mountain for a told of 50k. Now i have no stamina recovery but my weapon damage is almost 3k buff. Dont know if that's good or bad
