Step 1: Equip Bone Pirate for the necessary stam pool and stam regen required to fight in BG's. You'll need to have this available on both bars so a mix of body and jewelry are required.

Step 2: Find a suitable monster set. Orcs do well with Troll King. You'll find many stam orc sorcs running this. Blood spawn does well on stamdens / stamdks. I also love skoria on dot heavy builds. The two most prevalent are troll king and blood spawn. Up to you which you prefer... use the one that synergizes best.

Step 3: Pair with a good offensive set. So many to choose from here. Spriggans and Automaton are popular choices on the stamsorc. Sloads is an obvious choice for alot of builds. 7th Legion / Ravager / Fury are picks if you want to sprinkle some heavy armor into the build. Maybe craft hundings or night mother's gaze if you're on a budget.

Step 4: Get a good master's weapon to front bar. master axes are great for dot's. Asylum 2h is great with bloodspawn for an ulti-gen reverse slice build.

Step 5: Purchase a ton of immovable pots so that you can out-cheese your opponent in the actual 4 seconds of combat that matter in any engagement. He who get's cc'd - loses. (as a rule of thumb).

Nailed it. Stam dk = troll king, bone pirate, heavy sloads, sword and shield front bar, asylum back bar. Immovable speed pots. GG.

so if i understand correctly 5 heavy is viable ? not sure if im good enough to beat veteran dragonstar for master weps, but asylum normal version should do the trick right?

5 heavy is considered mandatory by many. You don't end up lacking damage as sets like seventh legion will give you a lot of weapon damage. Or you can run more passive damage like sloads. The bleed from master's axes is also arguably OP and will deal a lot of damage even with low weapon damage.

The only set I wear in medium at the moment is fortified brass.

trait options are dependent on your playstyle.

1. Triune - nice blend of stats for all pools. a safe bet
2. Swift - add additional speed to your character - mobility in pvp is king
3. protective - i wouldn't go overboard on this, but from an efficiency standpoint, 1 protective is great resistance value
4. robust - the ole tried and true raw stamina pool increase. an oldy but goody
5. infused - some swear by infused weapon damage.. arguing that its value exceeds robust. a matter of preference. some niche builds also use infused with the potion reduction enchant to make pot drinking a crack addict habit

your enchants on jewels are usually a mix of stam recovery and weapon damage. niche builds will use pot reduction. a magicka recovery token enchant is sometimes used depending on class

Argonian. 5 sunderflame, 5 alchemist back barred, masters dw axes front bar, monster of choice. 3x infused rings with potion cooldown. Triglyph everything, trifood. Use lingering health speed pots and tripots.

Heavy attack weave rending slashes for an awesome combo of heavy attack damage, main hand enchant procs from heavy attack, offhand enchant proc from rending slashes, sunderflame proc, rending slash damage.

Very expensive hybrid build to run, but very fun. Find yourself a magicka dump you enjoy using bc youll have tons of magicka to use with the 15k every 42 seconds plus normal regen and ultimate usage increases it further.

Id still like an answer for what wep traits u run for 1h/shield and 2hander...and also which poisons? or just stick with enchants?

Infused 1h, sturdy shield, nirnihoned 2 hand. Drain health poisons.

Got it. As someone mentioned using asylum weapons, i managed to get my hands on a 2h asylum normal mace...is mace still the weapon type to go in pvp? I also have vma axe/sword/maul in case the bleed dot is not completely useless. So my build would look like 5 bone pirate 5 ravager backbar 1h/shield and 2 bloodspawn + asylum or vma 2hander. Will ravager procs reliably enough on the backbar? Or i should i be using something like seventh legion or sloads?

Ravager does not proc enough on my stam dk.

Plus things are considerably different in cp and non-cp campaigns

So any eventual build depends mostly on where you want to play

I've been having solid BG stamdk success with the following build:

monster set: Valkyn Skoria (medium helm / heavy shoulder) tri-stat helm
Body: Bone Pirate glove / boot / chest / legs. tri-stat chest and legs
Belt: Prisoner's Rags
1 Bone Pirate necklace
2 Prisoner's Rags rings - retraited to tri-une all three enchaned with weapon damage

front bar - master's dw (axe / mace - nirn/infused - disease / beserker)
back bar - Prisoner's Battle axe (double dot poisons)

FB abilities: venom claw / spin 2 win / fossilize / rending slash / vigor / leap
BB abilities: noxious breath / wings / forward momentum / fragmented shield / volatile armor / corrosive

how to play: You will be sprinting - ALOT - on your back bar 2her. keeping your buffs up and able to use wings as much as you need due to infinite magicka sustain from prisoner's. When you're ready to engage - immovable pot sprint into your opponent and noxious breath. bar swap - on your DW bar apply rend. fossilize. apply venom claw. spin 2 win.

This build has almost everything I want except for on demand major defile which i sometimes still get from my dw disease enchant. Next patch, i have my fingers crossed that the new cyrodiil ward set will enough sustain to swap bone pirate out for. if so - I think I would trade my disease enchant to shock for concussion proc -

Just made me a heavy set of impen sloads to go with skoria, agility and asylum 2h. I never PvP but that last deathmatch... I’m proud of how that went lol
