Can't farm VMA need a good Build for a stamina Dk, and armor equipment help!

KrewX · October 2016

Ok so I'm running 5 hunding all divine with prismatic gold glyph each and its all gold, I'm also running 3 robust agility rings with gold weapon enchants. And two leki dual wield sharpened gold swords. And a gold 2h, i have guardian helm infused gold im missing the shoulder. I'm running a heavy blue guardian shoulder for the meantime. Now I busted my ass off farming for all I've acquired so far and I can't freaking do vma. I'm 367cp my weapon power is great, in groups dps is incredible but I have no sustain. Idk what to build that wouldn't have to sacrifice my weapon power. Maybe farm S.O vet? For the VO sets? I was thinking V.O rings helm and shoulder? My hp is like 14k stam regain is 640 I'm a glass cannon. My weapon power is above 4K buffed with rally

vMA doesn't come easily.

Also, if you're looking to farm it on a Stam DK, you're best off by running vMA on Magicka toons (where their gear setups and loadouts are more forgiving) and getting Stamina vMA weapons, then farming vMA on Stam DK.

@KrewX 1st what You need to do is going onto 1 of 3 trials Sanctum/AA or HRC and farm there Vicious ophidian set. Even it have now blue jewelery on normal mode still this set outshines other builds for vMA so much it's worth to get it. When You switch from Your current setup for lets say 5 Vicios Ophidian 5 Night mother and some monster set You'll feel huge difference. WIth such low HP I reccomend skoria dispite the fact it have flame dmg proc still it's very usefull proc hit pretty decent and 1 pice HP bonus also helps. You dont need more then 30k stamina so You can spend some attribute points into hp also, 17,5-18,5k should be enough Your current 14k is definietly not enough. I have 280 cp and I am doing vMA in less then hour.

I tried that long time ago when vMA first came out... OOS-ed in about 30 seconds. Realised it was GG until i changed up my gear to provide more sustain.

As someone else has alr pointed it out, it is vastly easier on magtoons. Magplar/magBlade/MagSorc all have it much much easier for initial clears until u get ur stam toons vMA wepz.

If you only have 1 toon and have no intention of getting another one, get more sustain into ur build. You could try running serpent stone, with stam regen enchants on ur rings. Ideally, with that almost exact set-up u have, my first clear on my stamDK was with around 1.8k regen. I initially had 600 and I got steamrolled cos out of stam = death lol. So i swapped around some enchants and mundus stone to get my first clear. Things felt a LOT safer once I cleared the 1.5k regen mark.

That being said, I still much prefer magSorc or magPlar to stam vMA clears.
