[STAMBLADE] Which monster set would be better?

I'm trying to decide which monster set to run on my stamblade.
PS: This is for an open-world medium armour stamblade (rollerblade?) build.



In the past, I've used:
Selene:
Good damage but very easy to counter. I'm thinking whether I should run stampede instead of ambush if I'm running selene.. but I'll lose empowered incaps.

Bloodspawn:
Extra resistance + ultigen.
but I don't really know how to check the uptime for the resistance buff. Is it worth it on a medium stamblade given that my ultimate (incap) is dirt cheap anyway?

Is there a better choice?


Thank you for your time.

    I haven’t tested Zaan on my Stamblade so with that excluded, Veldrith for sure. It procs all the time and adds significant dps. Selenes is kind of in the middle - good but not great. Bloodspawn is a great set but not so much for stamblade dps. I tend to find it most useful on a Stam tanks and/or heavy armor stamplars in pvp

    Zaan if you want to gank. Too long CD for viable 1vXs.

    Zaan is garbage for ganking, since it only procs on light and heavy attacks, plus most of the damage is on the back end. The set really shines if you are playing a brawlier playstyle where you stick to an opponent and burn them down.

    Bloodspawn probably isn't really worth it on a stam blade, given that you are better off cloaking and kiting for defense

    Selenes and Velidreth are probably your best options for burst damage, but I'd also say consider trying Masters Daggers out as well, because they will add a ton of bleed damage, helping you against tougher targets.

    Zaan is hardcountered by streak, cloak and purge. That's 3 of 5 classes it's useless against.

    Troll King is really good (obviously...) on a stamblade, because it helps you recover more quickly and increases your offensive window. Especially against permasnaring and rooting DK's. It is even better on heavy armor builds, but on medium it is still good. It just increases your healing by a ton. I really don't like offensive monstersets on a stamblade. You got more than enough damage to kill people. Surviving is your most important challenge.

    Honestly, you could run naked and still be competitive as stamblade vs the other classes.

    I know lots of stamblade players that still use veli, better than Selene, more reliable hits, but I still love troll king, with cloak, when cloak works, it is still great. Made for stamblade.
    Actually, mag blades too, just give up on vamp. With a shield up.and cloak, be awesome healing, I'm just not a magblade, but I still think it would work great.
