Stats for viable vMA attempt? Latency? (Stam DK dps)

Vapirko · February 2017

Hey,

I've not yet attempted vMA (have done nMA where current build was ok), but Im wondering what kind of stats I should be building towards. Currently running all medium 5 TBS + 3 Robus Agility + Rest NMG. Sitting around 34k stam, 17k health with food buff. About 3200 wpn damage. Phys resist around 11k, Spell resist about 14k unbuffed.

This is a pretty standard DW dps stam DK stats I believe, but is it ok for vMA? Im thnking endurance jewelry instead of robust for more health? Seems like I might want closer to 20k health? More resistance?

Thanks.

Also, playing from SE Asia on NA server, latency often 300-400 sometimes as high as 500. Is this even possible?

Based on your current gear i assume you have no access to vet trials.
As TBS never really made sense for solo or 4 man content you should drop it and farm vicious ophidian instead.
You can get it on normal mode and there should be plenty people looking for people to do them in zone chat.

Vicious Ophidian is one of the strongest sets you can use for solo content as a stam user.

Your other gear is not optimal but can easily bring you through the arena.

As someone doing it for the first time i would definitely recommend to go with more health.
Around 19k should do the trick. Also make sure to run sharpened weapons.

Good luck and don't give up!

Thanks! VO gear would work directly in place of TBS? I think most people use 5 TBS + 5 VO but with MA weapons. In my case of course, dont have those wpns yet. So VO + NMG + Agility Jewelry? Would loose the 1k health, stam, mag, from TBS. Does the 3rd trait from VO apply to MA?

As i said TBS never made sense in solo content, only in an optimised trial environment.
Yes VO + NMG + Agility works even so you won't get the 5 piece bonus of NMG.

I would rather recomment to go with VO + Velidreth + Agility + What ever weapons you have in sharpened that have weapon dmg as two piece bonus.

And yes all effects of VO apply to MsA

Hello,

I normally run NMG + VO + Veli also.

Yes we have major fracture but NMG just makes life easier sometimes you really can't noxious so it helps hands down.

Generally hit top 20-30 PS4 Boards weekly so it's more than good enough.

17k HP is a little low I would put 1-2 piece infused and run tri glyphs to hit that 18-18.5 if you can. Will help the silly deaths IMO.

Good luck bud!
