Food and Set question.

RABIDxWOLVERINE · June 2017

Hello everyone! I had a couple of questions regarding my build. I'm basically running Alcasts Venom build with a few tweaks here and there to give it my own unique spin. Either way though I play as an Imperial DK focused on stamina and using bow and DW.

First question is in regards to food/drink buff. I'm trying to decide whether I should use Dubious Camoran Throne or the tri-stat food (max magic, max stam, and max health), I believe I use the tree-inn venison or something like that.

Second question is should I use Hundings or NMG to pair with my 5 piece Leviathan? I'm currently running with NMG but have heard that hundings might be better so I was hoping I could get some insight. I normally don't get to play a whole lot or I would just go test these things to determine which is better but I don't have the luxury of time at this moment.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and answer my questions. I greatly appreciate it!

Food:
If you need more magicka (you need to provide utility with magicka skills like chains or talons), use tri stat food. Otherwise use Max HP + stam or Camorans.

Hundings is better for heals, NMG is better for group utility IF there is another stamina player in group and he is not running NMG or capped on phys penetration. I'd go with Hundings since usually stam builds are capped on pen already and Hundings is more beginner friendly. The difference in DPS between hundings and NMG is around 1%, which as a new player with an imperfect rotation you will never notice.

My advice is to limit your food to 2 choioces (Health+ Stam+ Stam Regen) or (Health+ Stam). If you can sustain with the second one, then it will be more damage. If you cant, then the first one is your best bet, but you might need to put some points into health.

As for gear, I will generally say that I prefer NM to hundings with one big exception. If you are in a group, only one person can run it, so it's a smart move to have a backup.
