i use stuhns with alch. honestly not many great variety of sets cuz defense is already bad for stamblade in a traditional sense so all damage and maybe something like eternal hunt for bgs.

I'd like to see more variety again but right now more-less working combination for me to take some beating was eternal vigor with nma/alch and balorgh which probably i can swap out for eg due to current situation with proc sets for more survivability.

Melee: stuhns + briar + bal + masters
Range: either
Briar + hundings + bal + masters
Or
Briar + hundings + masters and asylum

was my thought process. i really dont enjoy my stamblade in non cp but i never built for it.

I'm honestly trying to decide between nma and alch, or nma and briar, with the new ring of the pale order, im really thinking about running nma frontbar(and 1 armor piece) backbar, either spriggans or clever alch(dependent on if you prefer using potions on backbar or using spriggans crits) im not sure yet tbh. bloothirsty jewelery, and ring of pale order for 15% dmg i do converted into healing.

I'm honestly thinking balrogh/nma/clever/pale order will the be way forward.

i used to run stuhns, but idk if

PvE group or solo or PvP? Because I tend to use very different sets depending on what I do.

solo duo pvp. :P sorry thought the sets alone would have made that obvious.

balorgh, stuhn's, eternal vigor, master dw. 2 medium, 5 heavy. infused jewelry. (dark cloak). been switching up my build a lot lately since pvp is very lack luster. ive tried stuhns spriggans, nma stuhns, stuhns ward of cyro, it all falls back to not being survivable enough. not enough sustain for more than 3 people or not tanky enough. the game is in a weird spot imo

yeah im noticing that most stamblades are running 99% the same setups and it's sorta sad, i've sorta set on 5x body clever alch, frontbar nma(bloodthirsty) backbar infused WD master bow.

When the patch swaps around ill put in the pale order ring and swap clever alch bow in and run 6x clever alch on backbar just for the potion buff. im thinking with that i can also either drop vigor or leeching strikes, depending on how well my sustain and overall health regen is during testing, if i drop one of them i can swap in reapers mark and give myself a big damage buff.

If i ever get bored of the stealth playstyle though, im def gonna look into something similar to your setup, become more of a brawler. I think nb could be really nasty if setup properly.

Undaunted infiltrator back bar + Nma with dual wield maces nirnhoned and 2 piece molag kena. Cloak > Proc Kena > Heavy attack into surprise attack and finish off with incap, 1 shots most targets under 25k health. also shadow mundus because undaunted proc can crit.

Voidsteel everything.

Spriggan, New moon acolyte, 1 velidreth and ring of the wild hunt. 2h and bow, it worked really well during IC event, but I kept it around in pve as it is good enough for overland and dungeons too.
Once you tried the speed ring you can't go back being slow either.

My vampire bow-blade must have tried most combo's of gear over the years,but the only 2 sets that never leave the inventory are Dreugh King Slayer and Shadow-Walker.

Scavenging demise defiler silestrix and blackrose bow masters dw or asylum dw
