5x bone pirate tatters, 5x spriggans, 1x bloodspawn, 1x domi (if you have it 1x master's bow back bar)

This build is pretty easy to play, if you want something a bit easier to put together then 5 hundings instead of spriggans is also good. try and get an 2h axe for the front bar as the bleed is very strong at the moment.

Make sure your front bar (2h) is golden and nirnhoned and run 3 damage glyphs on your jewelry, use an infused bow back bar with a weapon damage glyph. Run as many impen as you can to get your crit resist up. If you feel like you need more pressure then run 2x damage poisons on the front bar. Food should be dubious camoran throne and potions use tri pots, crit pots, vitality pots (immovables work well against zergs too)

Skills front bar (2h)

• Suprise attack
• Ambush/Stampede
• Relentless focus
• Fear
• Rally
• Ult: Incap

Skills back bar (bow)

• Leeching strikes
• Poison injection
• Vigor
• Cloak
• Shade
• Ult: Soul siphon

Im not going to go over champ points but if you just have a play around its easy to find something that works well (a few in defile, a lot in direct damage/physical damage/crit).

And if you can please let me know the CP. new at tweaking around

CeeJonesy build is pretty good. Domihaus is a really great option for just the raw pool of resource is provides. If you can, try to get the helm or shoulder. Not just for the build CeeJonesy made, but for any other toon you decide to make, this piece will make a great addition to your PvP builds in general.

Golded out weapons make all the difference. It is imperative you get those golded out asap. The extra damage it deals on a gold goes a long way.


Let me know if you're interested in my current StamNB build. I'm running his gear/setup on a cp750 toon, but I've brought it into Non-CP BGs and the build exceeded my expectations.

Please let me know yours as well. Thanks you guys for all the insight I guess I’ll try out all of them to see what I like best honestly.

Mine requires a bit of a grind. Well worth it for the set(bone pirate), my build does not require Master Weaps as I don't prefer to run dungeons. Though having access to those weapons is always a plus(especially the bow!)

5pc Bone Pirate (3pc jewels(Bloodthirsty Neck, 2x Robust Ring all weapon dmg enchant), 2 weapons /// 2H sword(NIRN+Magicka XI Poison)/Bow(INFUSED+Weap Damage)
5pc Shackle (3pc Well-fitted, 2pc Impen)
1pc Molag Kena (Infused, Head)
1pc Velidreth (Divines, Shoulder)

Food: Dubious Camorean Throne
Race: Redguard
Attributes: 64 Stamina
lv 10 Vampire, dark stalker passive, and regain passives

Stats in cyro;

Magic: ~9k
Health: 19.4k(14.4k outside of Cyro)
Stam: 38.6k (no bloodthirsty on neck, sits close to 40k)
Stamina Recov: ~2.1k, no Merciless, no potion, no continuous attack

Weapon Damage: ~4.4K (Continuous Atk+Rally+Berserk Proc on Bow, can go higher with Major Courage buff///Off-Balance CP Star and Exploit Star play a big part in damage, more on that later) with just Rally, sits close to ~3.4k, as is 2.9k no buffs

If you don't have Bone Pirate, gather a group and run the dungeon for the weaps/jewels or for body pieces then you can craft Shackle Weaps/Jewels. You can also run it on Vet and pick the chests in the first area of the dungeon using the disguise/cloak.

*I talked about the Off-Balance earlier in the post, this is part of that equation. 120 in Atronach unlocks the tactician star, and when you roll dodge and you have 2-4 people shooting arrows/magic at you, they ALL get set off-balance which plays into how the Exploiter Star works.

Ritual

68 - Piercing (Surprise Attack de-buf on armor + this star helps me get my penetration close to 10k, if I was running Spriggan's I would invest less into the star)
25 - Precise Strikes
0 - everything else

*75 CP unlocks the Exploiter star, which grants 10% more damage to off-target enemies. Cloaking/SA also hits the opponent with Off-balance too. This is a pretty nice chunk of damage(stacks with Incaps 20% increase!) and helpful for a StamNB fleeing from enemy troops and one excellent way to push momentum of the fight into your favor. Let's say you're going into a resource tower, and are being chased by 2 magic users and a stam user. You can kite them, wait for an off-balance debuff, cloak, turn around and burst the closet guy. Battle Rush passive(2h) and Assassin's Tree Executioner Passive is what gives you a high burst of recovery in close combat fights. Those two passives combined with these 5pc sets will keep your stamina resource pool pretty full even in highly intensive fights. So outside of CP, it would be just your Executioner Passive / Battle Rush that would help keep you afloat. The longer you can keep those passives up, the more killing you're capable of.

Since you're only 390cp, don't fret over the 120 Stars I mentioned, as those buffs are just more icing on the cake. You can still run this build, and be effective without having the enemy always be off-balance. It's got a lot of resources to give you too and as long as you're running some well-fitted and have some points into Tumbling you should be good.

@Sparr0w are you running heavy?

@flacidstone swap between 5 heavy 2 medium & 5 medium 2 heavy (chest and legs always stay heavy, since shackle is a crafted set).

@flacidstone Heavy's great for brawling more than one person, in a 1v1 I'd probably stick with medium for the sustain. You can swap cloak for shadow image as an escape option, still want something there to get you out of sticky situations.

Watch @Gilliamtherogue on YT for some Heavy Stamblade battlegrounds

And one thing I didn’t get was why would I use 2H but not use any ability from 2H on the front bar CeeJonesy

the only 2h skill you need is rally. it gives you a weapon damage increase and is a really strong burst heal on its second use. some people do run reverse slice or stampede but nb does enough damage it doesn't need an execute so I personally don't use reverse slice. stampede is good though as it slows the person you hit (even better if you can fit a vma axe into the build) so if you like that skill more then use it over ambush, gap closers are personal preference tbh.

I just put together a monster Stamblade build. Used to run a 5K+ weapon damage glass cannon build. But relying on cloak with a small magicka pool was frustrating.

I know that feel

i don't know how u guys back-bar fear. that skill feels like one that is needed on-demand. the act of closing the gap on a player, then bar swapping to bow to hit fear, then bar swapping back to actually do melee dmg / incap... just feels crazy. I would love to move it back bar to put relentless focus front bar... but it just feels so damn weird.

The way I rotate my skills I wanted to have ambush on front so I can get in closer more often, and use fear on the back if they start blocking, animation cancel fear>Poison Inject>swap FB keep up pressure.

That's without continuous attack buff. With it I get almost 3k Stam Regen and 4k weapon damage in stealth.

The damage from poison inject, sheer venom, double dot poisons and skoria adds a LOT of pressure on people. Get that going with major fracture and incap buffs up and it's nasty to survive against with surprise atrack weaving.

It does a lot of damage but is slightly on the squishy side. But, I have super high Stam and magica Regen for plenty of roll dodging and cloaking for survival.

damn - this is literally my entire build. master's bow on back bar the only difference. even down to the back bar barrier ult for more regen. well done. i've lately gone one step further and put efficient purge in place of shuffle. i actually find it more useful, provide the same function, and gives yet more recovery due to support passives.

I used to run this. It's a good setup, but spriggans doesn't help too much against mag specs and other stamblades. I just switched out spriggans for sloads, and it is noticeably better. I have a much easier time against mag sorcs which are everywhere, and I find I do just as well if not better against the high armor targets. Its unfortunate that it is better..This game is just a cheese factory and not partaking in some sort of cheese is just masochistic
