 Scyantific's Scrub-Lord Stamina Sorcerer GuideTM Part I: Basics and Gear (no item farming required)Alright so I promised a more comprehensive newbie guide for Stam Sorc, and here it is. This guide is geared exclusively for the beginner player, and involves minimal grinding for Gear/Undaunted Sets (i.e. Spriggan/Red Mountain/Velidreth/etc), and any grinding will probably be for jewelry (once you hit Champion 160 anyway). However, it's still pretty good for a middle-of-the-road setup until you're fully kitted out in sweet Night Mother's Gaze/Vicious Ophidian gear. It'll be in parts so I don't overwhelm people with information Sooo, let's get down to the basics: Race - Any stamina-based race will work fine, but in order of sheer effectiveness:
General Info: - This is mostly the basics to get started with
Armor Setups: This is the fun part. Remember that none of this is written in stone, and you can test to your heart's content. However, do note that all of these armor sets are available as crafted sets, meaning that you can craft them yourself or have someone do it for you. It's great for beginners and those who are not ready to commit to a fully upgraded set of Legendary level gear for end-game content. Ideally, all armor traits will be Divines, and all weapon traits will be Sharpened; Armor should be enchanted with Max Stamina, and Weapons should have a combination of Berserker or Poison/Disease enchants. All values below are listed for Legendary level, Level 50 Champion Rank 160.
Here's a basic setup (was testing this in Maelstrom Arena earlier) using the only the sets listed above.  Ok, I heard from people that 2-Hander also works in PvE, can I try that? While I'm not against people using 2-Hander in PvE content, I do feel the need to explain why Dual Wield is better than 2H
What about Sword and Board in PvE? Can I- No. Sword and Board is for tanking. The last thing you want to do is gently caress up aggro from your tank in 4-man content and cause a wipe. =================================================================================================== This about covers it for the basics and gear for Stamina Sorcerer. In my next post, I'll discuss skills and standard DPS rotations, and possibly additional armor sets (which require a bit of farming).

I have never seen anyone else recommend Kvatch, but I ran it and loved it. It is also great if you deviate from Bow sometimes and use 2H (because giant honking weapons are still fun).

I only listed it because its one of the few craftable sets that offers weapon critical as part of its set bonuses. Beyond that I see very little use for it, honestly.

Yeah the 5pc is garbage compared to everything else, but if you just need to fill in gaps for a slight boost that's decent. Thanks for the write-up Scy, looking forward to the Next Installment. Also, any words on CP other than 100warlord/mooncalf, 100hardy/elemental defender, 100mighty? Curious where my other 100 blue points go, split thaum/precise/piercing? Referring to PvE since that's what you're talking about. Although words on PvP wouldn't be a bad thing, but my stamsorc is AD and I barely PvP anyway.

1 MILLION AP DOWN THE PISSER. I did get a Sharpened Spriggan Sword and some Impen Spriggan/Red Mountain so I guess it was worth kind of worth, was really hoping for a better return with those Zone boxes though.

Zone bags are a loving AP sink and we all know it. That's why I usually run drop set jewelry + 2 body pieces and my weapons are usually some poo poo that I can farm in dungeons or craft myself.

quote:Apparently all the Reduce Magicka/Stamina cost of abilities CP passives are gone and Increase Regen/Healing CP passives get reduced from 25% max to 15% max. Also this is going to make things harder for PvE (especially stuff like vMA and probably every vet trial/dungeon), although I would HOPE they have some way to offset it and hopefully that way is not stat inflation.

I will say this though, this is a step in the right direction in terms of balancing. I always said it, that they need to balance Champion Points around the game, instead of balancing the game itself around Champion Points. The game stays static, CP will continue to increase.

I'd rather a ranged weapon that isn't a staff/bow. I do agree that a new weapon shouldn't really be the priority at the moment though. After Morrowind though I'd like that to be something they start looking into.

Always thought classes that are more powerful with less equipment were neat, going back to the ninjas from the original Wizardry games, but that archetype seems counter to the whole MMO design philosophy. I haven't played FF11/14 but I imagine the monk classes in those use gloves/nunchaku.

Due to lack of interest, we're gonna put Progression Crew on hold for the moment. Taking a new approach to this in order to have a group ready for Halls of Fabrication. Anyone who spoke to Dori or myself, please speak to us when you can so we can fill you in.

Hey, if you give me a desired spec for a support character I will work on building it and mastering the rotations when I get back in a week or so. Just tell me what would be most useful. My approach has been so scattered and exploratory that some focus would help me. I have liked playing my Magplar as an off healer with decent dps, focused on resource battery and general buffing support, but you may not need or want that. He can even run pretty well as an off tank. Let me know what would best serve. I have Magplar, Stamplar, MagDK, MagNB, Stamsorc all leveled with 500 something CP and could have StamDK in a few hours.

Appreciate the intent but after 2 weeks of promoting this and only getting 2 interested responses from people who haven't done any vet endgame at all, I just figured that people are not interested whatsoever. That or they don't want to run with someone (me) who's been painted as this supersperg demanding top-tier performance from the get-go by others in this thread. But I'm not gonna worry about that, Progression Crew is just gonna focus on working with the people who were actually interested. E: Part II of stamsorc guide will be up today as well.

Hello! Wanted to give a shout out to the goons that completed vHRC last night, many for the first time. Congrats! For the goon progression group idea, I just wanted to touch on a couple of things/clear up some items: Y u hate stam builds, y u do dis? Y r u racist against khajiit? You can absolutely DPS as a stam based toon in vet trials, up to and including HM vMOL. So why the cold shoulder for stam DPS? Well, the reason magicka DPS is tops right now is due to the fact that A) most are ranged (exception are most mDK and magplar builds, but both of which can absolutely be built as ranged only) which affords them an extra level of saftey, B) every magicka class has access to a powerful shield - Harness Magicka - which is literally a life saver in game in certain scenarios, and C) All magicka classes have insane AOE/Cleave damage thanks to their class AOE abilities, but also due to Elemental Rage (the destro ulti). That all being said, bring your stam DPS toon if thats your strongest! Its all good! It is what progression is about! Whats with the turbo sperg 20K DPS rule? Well, here is the honest thing. You can scrape by with less, as long as some of your other teammates are pouring out 35K+ with raid buffs. But that is beside the point. 20K * 8 is 160k DPS. The mage at the end of vAA has 69 million HP. Manti in vSO 38 million and change. Both have a DPS check where 25K is the minimum. No one wants to struggle though the bosses cause we don't have enough damage. That said, 20K DPS is pretty easy to achieve, and WE would love to help! Rotations, gear, buffs, ect, it all makes a difference. Keep in mind that if you want to parse, you will get ele drain or pierce armor (as both of these are up 100 percent of the time in vtrials) so you are not asked to go it alone. Bruh, you have, like, less CP than my kid sister, lul get reckt son It is true, 360ish CP and counting. I came from a dark land of 30 FPS, no add ons, and a 99 percent CTD rate between rounds 6 and 7 of vMA. I, of course, mean Xbox. Still, we slugged through all vtrials (vMOL included) because we are colossal idiots. Progression? So the reason we were looking for 12 core players is because the central idea behind progression is that all 12 players have the same role each time (at the beginning) and that all are comfortable with each others playstyle. It becomes second nature to know that player x will always know how to react and assist players y and z if a certain scenario occurs. When there is a failure, everyone is there to review and learn from it. Ain't no judgement or anger, everyone gets better, and you move forward. Eventually you pull in other players, start running multiply raids at the same time, and it spirals out of control until you are drinking your wife's Bud Lime-A-Rita while hiding under a blanket on the couch, too shaken to press the off button on your console. WOO END GAME!

Get a DPS meter, I think the one I use is built into foundry tactical combat add-on. Then go beat up a dummy (@GamerGhoul) has one in front of his house by the hedge maze and you can see where you stand against that.
