Would be interested to effective sets (and what to avoid) for PVP...
I have the following sets I am mixing and matching
1. Eternal Hunt (both group and maybe solo play)
2. Sloads cause its"cancer" and that kills things right ;)
3. Ravager (gotta check uptime, but with WW and light attacks, I have been able to keep over 60% in PVE...gotta test in PVP
4. Impregnable - great for tanking!
5. Cowards - great for chasing down any stragglers (free speed boost and protection) and good stam stats...might be a something to consider with Brutes and having a chase squad, while main group stays on crown?
6. Fury - not tried this yet, but general forum feedback is positive
7. Green Pact - Combine with Impregnable and you may never die
8. Plague Doctor - Hi, I have so much health my WW heals are unstoppable!
9. Bone Pirates - lots and lots of Stam
What else is missing, any on the list that are not very good?
Fiak
I think crit is underestimated in PvP. My main is a khajiit stamblade, and having around 50% crit really helps me burst people down. Crit is mitigated by impen, but not many players have enough crit resistance to completely counter the additional damage. On top of that, consider the bonus to your healing.
I always wonder about the weapon crit part of either sets since the effectiveness of crit is so low in PVP since most folks run impen.
I think Automaton remains hard to beat for a stamsorc. Like Hundings, it's always on and you don't have to think about proccing anything (unlike Truth, for example, which is also good). The only issue is that it doesn't amplify Vigor.
