I do not do trials - honestly don't know if they are easier or harder than vet dungeons

so

would you go with hundings or acuity and what secondary set would you use? Automoton, spriggans, something else?

thanks

    I would go with acuity to be honest. for both pve and pvp Its a really nice set. Its especially good on a stamblade where you can really focus your burst in that small time window to get the most out of this set, meanwhile something like a stamDK with more sustained damage would benefit less from it, but that still doesnt stop stamDks from using this set, so if this works even for them, it should also work for stamblades.

    That being said I don't see that big of a difference between hundings and acuity. If you have one of two already crafted, then use it, If you don't then craft acuity. And I'm no stamblade expert but for pve I would pair it with war machine , as its just a no-brainer synergy for stamblades and their cheap ultimate provides them great uptime on it.

    And about trials, Its harder than vet dungeons , but not really that hard :) Its actually very easy and fast when you do it with a trial guild instead of some random pugs.

    thanks,

    at least i have time.

    i have my bosmer stamblade setup with sneak gear, maxed out thieving stats etc and this is giving me so much joy stealing and murdering people.

    now i am having a crisis. Should i feel bad stealing from homeless people and murdering slaves.

    Hundings - Spriggans works for everything.

    Normal trials are really enjoyable actually.. Vet though ergh.

    I think acuity is worse on stamblades since they have such high crit that you can pretty much just crit just as much with a normal build. Plus its a thing you have to practice to use well not just settle into a nice rotation.

    Twin Fang Serpent and WarMachine with Maelstrom Bow is still the meta build I am pretty sure. Its basically just an upgrade over Hundings Spriggans. But in all trials gear.

    i will never get that bow.

    being that i spend most of my time running around by myself, what do you think about hundings and briarheart for the heals that go along with the crit bonus?

    i am trying to change things up a bit.

    for example i am looking at stamdk using the plague set from scalecaller peak and possibly vipers since those poison effects would be boosted by 50%

    just want to try new things.

    When I compared Acuity with Hunding's months ago on my Bosmer Stamblade it seemed like Acuity was a little stronger.

    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/374084/mechanical-acuity

    It has since become a little more stronger as my rotation changed over the months to squeeze more DPS into 5-6 seconds. It pairs well with Spriggan's if you don't run trials.

    I remember that thread.... before anyone believed in Acuities power.

    If you are running solo nothing beats Spriggans for damage you will also want to use the Lover mundus stone.

    Mobs have 18.5K armor.... To deal tool tip damage you need to penetrate that much armor. Surprise attack strips 5280 Spriggans removes 3450. From CP you can get a bunch more, I have it set at 2500 from cp. 2752 from lover... 4196 from lover divines. And you still don't hit the 18.5K cap.

    thanks. the whole penetration thing always confuses me because most builds and such on the web are based on trials, arenas etc.
    I am not that hardcore, i just like to enjoy the game.

    I can see me spending most of my time furnishing a big house.

    My NB runs Hundings/Spriggans. Divines and using Warrior. My weapons are sharpened for extra penetration.

    I'm like you in that I'm not hardcore and spend most of time running around questing/dolmens/delves/public dungeons.
    Amassing gold to buy homes and collecting furniture patterns to craft.
    I'm doing 20-25K dps and pretty happy with my build. I'm cp390 with still a ways to go.

    I am collecting and stashing away Briarheart ... may give vMA a shot sometime in the future.
