Enchants for stam dps

WickidMexican · February 2019

Whats going to be the set up? Absorb stam back back bar for khajit, orc, dunmer and berserker for sustain races?

atm you can run berserker bow bar
and DW doesnt really matter, but poisons are a viable DMG source on DW now.

Do poisons stack? I heard from someone that if multiple players use the same alchemical poisons, these will keep overriding.

@Olupajmibanan , no, I've tested it, and the poisons don't stack, so they're virtually useless in group content unless you want to negotiate in advance who runs the double dot poison (and I think others will be weaker than enchantments). As soon as another player applies it to the target, existing ticking poison gets cancelled.

jeah thats a bug that needs correction IMO.

only one person running poisons coul dbe talked out quite easy, and woul dprob also be only a topic in organised raids...randoms will always slot enchants, and not deal with a topic like poisons for random runs.

@SaintSubwayy , yup, it would be great if it was fixed. But - oh well, it's ZOS, and the bug was lingering since forever (and another bug with poisons, one that makes max stats bug out when food/drink buff is applied when a poison is slotted on active bar). It's anyone's guess when they'll finally fix it. Well, in organized raid, one person with poison can be negotiated, but a tiny boost for just one DD out of eight may just not worth the hassle, though who knows.

I see well im on console so i cant test but was wondering what the deal was. Havent seen or read anything on it for a while. Maybe ill go poison, absorb stam and berserker back bar then

It is not a bug because poison stacking would be "broken in pvp"(tm)...

Seems like three options are really in the mix at the moment ...

Mostly I would say stick to the Infused Berserker backbar and make up the sustain elsewhere (likely Artaeum food).

Then it's one of:

1. Nirn + Poison or Absorb Stam mainhand, Infused + Poison or Absorb Stam offhand (Infused Absorb Stam on DW is still about +75 stamina per second which does make a significant difference in sustain; Infused Poison will do more damage).
2. Nirn + Poison mainhand, Precise + Absorb Stam offhand
3. Nirn + Poison mainhand, Sharpened + Absorb Stam offhand (in this case use Kra'gh + an extra ~20-25 points in Piercing and swap The Lover to The Shadow; seems to be stronger than the old Lover meta setup for some builds).

Can also use Disease glyph instead of Absorb Stam.

Seems there are a lot of different ways to run things this coming patch depending on your race, class, and gear sets.
