So I have my Stamina Warden pretty much done.
5x Fury
5x Bone Pirate
But I having trouble with the weapons. I know a great sword is a good choice, but for DW should I use swords or maces? I have a sword and cannot find maces anywhere
If you want to know what the meta is just go into pvp. Cyrodil is, if i had to guess, 70% stam wardens 29% magplars, 1% everything else.. If you look around you'll see, but ill tell you what i think.
dual wield/sword and board is the meta.. Shalks into dawnbreaker into steel tornado. Rinse and repeat. Maybe 7 wardens group up, add a magplar, and farm AP by dropping that combo onto groups but x7.
You can run 2h but dual wield is better. The undodgeable execute that is steel tornado is overpowered. Nearly everyone i run into has it slotted. Personally i like 2h but its DW is a lot easier and gets the kill faster because of steel tornado.
If i go with 2h i go greatsword(nirnhoned), if i go with dual wield i go one sword (nirnhoned) 1 dagger (precise).. I do this because i usually dont run builds with high crit so the precise dagger helps a ton. And i find sword better because a warden is usually full upfront damage. You dont need dots from an axe and you dont need penetration from a mace. Sword increases your overall damage.
But i would say play what you like. I know some people like infused and some people like other stuff. But With that build i would guess you are missing some crit. The dagger helps alot.. Even just one. I also run savegry pots, unless you use green lotus but personally i need the extra slot..
Swap bone pirate out for hulkings as you don’t need the recovery that much with a warden as the Netch is your regen
The last boss in direfrost drops named daggers which will solve the dagger issue and name rings from the third boss so you should only need to rng for necklaces
You can still run throne drink
Your trade off is little less regen (which you can just balance with enchants) for more damage
