Stamina Sorc open world builds? Whats the "meta"?

Torbschka · January 2018

Hey,

what do u guys run right now in open world?
So far what worked for me:

2h heavy builds

5x shackle
2x trollking
3x agility
2x trans SNB backbar
1x vsma/sanctum 2h
+golden food

Same with 7thegion

5heavy SNB

5x shackle
5x spriggan
2x trollking
1x vsma / sanctum back 2h
+golden food

What builds could I use for more DMG without lolsing too much regen (I play actually with 1k stam / 1k mag recovery) ?

I really like the wrothgar golden food, I dont need anything else in terms of regen with it.

Is the prisoners + 7th setup woth farming? I enjoy 2h mainbar more them SNB, but never really tried dw since I cant fit in a good stun, so maybe any1 have some advice here.

Of course, I also Trier the clever Alchemist setuos, but I dont like relying too much on drinking potions. I also considered truth, but since I play no CP most of the tine I cant see myself proccing it reliable.

So how do u guys on stam sorc this patch?

im experimenting on pts with the new heavy armour heavy attack proc set

gabormezo · January 2018

I run Briar with medium Hundings along monster helm pieces for WD+SD and stamina recovery. DW front, 2H back. With 60% crit I have 5K buffed weapon damage. The idea of this setup is to have high health return to compensate medium armor. Works well so far, especially if there are many enemies to proc crit heals from DOTs. With this level of WD and crit DW Bloodthirst's channeled damage is a burst.

Imagine what happens when I transform to WW fully buffed.

I know of a very good stam player that runs 5 shackle 5 truth 2 trollking in his khajiit vamp stage 3 stam sorc with bound armaments and overload bar for some extra abilities. It's actually a crazy strong open world setup.

Does truth jewelry only come in healthy or are there unique robust ones?

Yep! 2 robust 1 healthy is actually very good for pvp as well, especially since you're gonna be in medium and the hp will be on the lower side.

Edit: also, orc would be BiS for this setup as it buffs health rec. and as a vamp you need the buffs.

I like truth/ prisoners rags for stam sorc open world.

The damage bonus from briarheart is ok but the heal is so pathetic it really isn't worth running imo. Better off running something else that gives weapon damage.

Ragnarock41 · January 2018

Working on a brand new stams'orc toon nowadays, not sure If I go for medium or heavy armor.
thinking of a more balanced approach.
I'll see how it goes and write my build here later.

gabormezo · January 2018

Yeah, Orc is decent.

I think it's still worth it because of added crit. Do you have any suggestion?

7th Legion

Morgul667 · January 2018

I run selene + shackle and wonder if i should switch to 7 th legion as second set

Cant find something a second set that really makes a difference for my stamsorc

Didnt get hyped by anything tested so far

Morvane · January 2018

how do you proc off-balance on stamsorc?

Morgul667 · January 2018

Glyphe pr your group

120 CP Tactician + Dodge roll and shuffle. This + truth set with 2 existing robust rings is imo the best medium setup (yes i know truth is heavy)

I agree, truth + bone/shackle (depending on the class) is BiS for stam atm.

thnx man, would check it!

NinchiTV · January 2018

How would ravager/bone pirate do in pvp for solo? DW/bow And for solo play is heavy still > medium? Ive never really messed with heavy too much because the medium passives look way more useful than heavy but I know you become very squishy and you have to roll dodge.

Strider__Roshin · January 2018

I find the best stam sorcs to be the ones that switch to magicka.

rikimm16_ESO · January 2018

How do you play an Open World Stam Sorc? Is it just aoe and DW healing styles? My first cp160 is a Stam Sorc, got it this week and I’m wondering if it can solo world bosses and if they can, how.

Truth is simply better than ravager in every single way for stam sorc. Ravager has too low of an uptime compared to truth's close to if not 100%.

AAbrigo · January 2018

Drop heavy shackle and put on medium fortified brass.. with s/b on back you would get close to 33k resistance..

Tried many options and that build is crzy

mmolegends44 · January 2018

Can anyone explain what exactly does the off-balance actually do to the enemy!?

I thought you can only have one of the same named unique ring equipped at a time. Last time I tried putting on two Oath-Bond (7th Legion) I got a massage that I already wear one of this item.

There´s a difference in overland gear and dungeon gear. You can´t have 2 unique overland pieces. Note that it has to say (Unique). There sometimes are named overland drops who isn´t (Unique) and of those you can wear more than 1. When it comes to dungeon drops, like "Foreman´s Ring" which is a named Truth ring in robust, you can have more than one since they don´t have the (Unique) text added to them.

And on top of that your Heavy Attacks deal 75% more damage to Off balance enemies.

I’m always curious what CP distributions people like for this? What do you all find works well for in this case sorc, and what kind of damage loss are we looking at for the missing points in The Ritual tree?

I'm really bad with magsorc, cannot get used to shield spamming. So it really depends on the player.

Lexxypwns · January 2018

@del9 the math says you lose a few % damage from ritual, but you can use shattering blows and gain damage on damage shields, plus you gain 10% on off balance opponents. It’ll lower DPS parses, but it increases pvp burst.

I think shields are currently purging off balance on cast though so you lose that 10% damage on damage shield opponents. That’s why I suggest some points in shattering to recoup the lost damage
