Here is my bow 2h build that I run on my stamden. If you're looking for BiS, there are plenty of stamden builds you can find online running seventh legion/fury.

Gear:
2 bloodspawn (impen, max stamina)
5 spriggans: 3 jewelry (2 wep damage 1 stam regen), 1 body (impen, max stamina), 1 greatsword (nirnhoned, prismatic)
5 clever alchemist: 4 body (impen, max stam), 1 bow (infused, berserker)

Skills:
Bow:
Shimmering shield
Shuffle
Resolving vigor
Ice fortress
Sub assault (works better on bow bar)
Healing thicket

2h:
Stampede
Rally (better burst heal than shrooms, although I sometimes wish I had the reliable major mending)
Bull netch
Wrecking blow (I perfer the empower)
Reverse slice
Dawnbreaker

Mundus: Warrior
Food: Dubious camoran throne

I run 2pc bloodspawn, 5pc 7th legion and werewolf hide. Front bar is 2h and back bar dual wield to get ww hide 5pc. I'd like to get an asylum 2h front bar and a ww hide shield.

In groups I may switch to 5pc fasalla and 5 pc knightmare for defile. Or 5pc shacklebreaker 5 pc marksman to run rapids. I pretty much always have bloodspawn on.

I've been thinking about dropping knightmare for livewire on the defile build.

Ice fortress, netch, sub assault, spores and shimmering shield are used in all builds.

I have a lot of points into befoul for the defile build, using pollen for major defile. Solo and small group I use birds for pressure.

Group ults are thicket and permafrost. solo and small group I drop permafrost for dawnbringer.

2xbloodspawn
5xhundings (heavy)
3xagility
Maelstrom 2h axe precise
Maelstrom 1h&shield for ekstra surstain

-Damage is enough by far. But Ofc u have to Line up burst combo
-Surstain is bad But a learning process. When u get used to it. Its No problem.

Pro: good crit - good Damage - No rely on proc Damage bonus.

Cons: surstain 1300 regn. Is not good. But need to adapt - lack of speed. No speed skill on backbar, since i need low slash for surstain. There for i use speed pots.

I use stampede, mixed whit my beetles. Or beetles + dizzy + dawnbreaker. This kills most players. Who arrent full Health or in defence.

In bg 4 People were fighting and all were not at full Health. My beetle + stampede + dawnbreaker wiped Them all out in 1 shot. Damage is defendly good enough.

IMO, if you go for the asylum 2h to run a dizzying swing-based build you should run coward's gear as a S&B back bar. The ability to kite under pressure is so strong with forward momentum.

I personally run a maelstrom s/b w/ agility jewelry;

Warden has bird of prey and doesn't need coward's for mobility imo

Thanks all!
