Apparently bone pirate is currently bugged (interface shows correct stats but they do not compute), let's hope it gets fixed today. if not, plan another combo of sets.

That sounds fine. Stamina sorc isn't super versatile now, so no matter what youre play style will be pretty much the same and that is some form of dawn breaker burst followed by executes. We have no class damage skills so it is what it is. Any sets that give you an amount of sustain/resources/damage that you are comfortable with is good. Most common sets are probably bone pirates, automaton, sprigging, clever alchemist and shacklebreaker and maybe agility jewlery. Along with blood spawn, troll king, skoria or slime craw. Beyond that though you can really run what works. The only thing I would shy away from is a SB damage setup as that doesnt really work without proc sets or maybe at all anymore due to lack of class damage skills.

PvP ? Solo Cyrodiil, Small Group, Zergling build ? BGs build ? Can you be more specific please ?

If you are coming back and your doing non CP I'd suggest.


5 Duroks Body 5 viper 1 masters bow
1h VMA axe and dagger your crit should be around 46.5 enough to maintain crit surge on your front bar back bar.

Traits: Bow powered - Axe presice - dagger presice. Infused stamina head- chest and legs, impen arms-waist-feet

Front bar skills:

Trap beast , evilhunter, critsurge, bloodcraze, bloodthirst. - Ult Dawnbreaker smiting

Backbar skills:

Vigor, defensive rune, hurricane, poison inject, dark deal. -Ult Attronach (greater ver)

Rotation: ( Wait for them to attack )


Defensive rune - Light attack- Poison inject - Trap beast - Bloodthirst ( viper procs dot )- Bloodcraze, Trap Beast into Dawnbreaker - Implode passive RIP.

If you get bursted-defensive rune- Attronach ult LOS trap beast camp vigor dark deal until resources are back.

Sub sets per situation Shield Breaker, shield spammers. Rotation with them is different automatically poison inject into Dawnbreaker they freak out and shield spam light attack spam and in 3 sec they are dead.

Receive hate mail after lol

4 dots is to much pressure they panic and run away or stay and die - do not chase.

Your welcome and enjoy

I would differentiate builds that rely on your typical [high stamina recovery + medium bone pirate + vigor]

And builds with low stamina sustain [Troll King + Heavy Shacklebreaker + Dark Deal]

I would also argue that stamsorc being fine with whatever weapon skill you want makes it as much "versatile" as other classes that are sometimes forced to use their in-class version because they include things that comes built-in for stamsorc (like Major Brutality, Major Resistance Buff, etc..)

We have no class damage skills so it is what it is.

If you look at combat metrics after a fight against an opponent trying to be evasive, hurricane will often be in your top 3 sources of damage, if not the first.

Lots of good options. I would add Red Mountain for that cheap and efficient proc stacking in no-CP, don't forget Lover stone if you go this way.

Do not discard Sword&Board for damage, [light attack -> pierce armor -> bash] is a top tier spammable outside of execute range. Plus you get a great line of skills to pick from (reverb, heroic slash, defensive stance)

I don’t think I’ve seen a stam sorc run Sb damage build since the tremorscale days. I certainly wouldn’t want to try bursting anyone down spamming only heroic slash. Give us a physical morph of curse, mages wrath, frags and then we can talk.

Here is a video of a high sustain + burst stamsorc using S&B as his main source of non-execute damage :

Here is a video of a low sustain + pressure stamsorc (me) using S&B as the main spammable :

Good stuff although seems like you’d be just as or more effective with dw or 2H on your main bar out numbered like that. But to each there own playstyle, can’t argue with those smack downs. I may give it a go again.

5-1-1 medium

2 slimecraw/bloodspawn
5 spriggan
5 clever alchemist (4/5piece On bow backbar)
Asylum 2h

Good stuff.

This is mostly what I'm planning for BGs, but with 7 med (personal preference). This build will be dealing massive damage. Probably will swap alchemist for bone pirate or hulking (spriggans 2h and master bow) for open world CP.

I've been using it for awhile and my spammable were pierce armor which are pretty cheap to cast.. But yeah you rent bursting people down like with 2h, but slowly killing them with double dots/ hurricane and then finally killing rhem with a dawnbreaker burst.. But pretty strong with all the mobility stamsorcs got..

5 x Sloads
5 x Red Mountain

Not enough cancer.

5 x Sload
5 x Viper
2 x Skoria
2 x Master Axes

That's litterally the first time anyone ever told me that my build / playstyle / whatever, was not cancerous enough. Oh happy day!

EDIT: And if i had the stamina to endure grinding for Master Axes, i would totally be doing what you listed right there.
