Race

Khajiit is an absolute master race for all stam classes. Specially with the upcoming buff of max stamina. I wouldn’t even recommend any other race since Khajiit is just perfect for it.

 

 

Attributes

I have all my 64 attribute points into Stamina. and I barely hit the 17k hp. You might gonna need to invest some points into HP if you lack CP. usually 18k is high enough for end game content as a DD with low amount of CP and 17k hp if you have a decent amount of CP.

Keep in mind that I lack 5% crit because I don’t have a Sharpened dagger (Twin blade and blunt passive)

 

 

Potion

I use Essence of Weapon Power to buff myself with Major Brutality and Savagery which is very important for Damage Dealers, also to restore good amount of Stamina back. Make sure to have 3 skill points in Medical Use under Alchemy skill tree to increase the duration of the buff significantly.

 

 

Gear

We are using 7 medium armor to get the extra crit chance as we are using gear heavily dependent on that. What you will need is:

• 5x Twice-Born Star in Divines (Armor/Crafted)

• 2x Vicious Ophidian in Divines (Armor/Drops in Sanctum)
  

• 3x Vicious Ophidian Jewelry (With full weapon damage enchants)
  

• 1x Maelstrom Axe 1x Maelstrom Dagger both in Sharpened (You can use precise as well if you don’t have Sharpened)
  

• 1x Maelstrom Bow (Not sure if Infused would be best or Sharpened)

AOE BARS

Bar 1

1. Steel Tornado: Our main AoE spam ability, damage increases the lower HP mobs have.
2. Rapid Strikes: Main Single target spam ability.
3. Deadly Cloak: 20% mitigation from enemy AoEs and nice AOE damage.
4. Relentless Focus: Grants Minor Berserk and Endurance, Light or Heavy Attacks proc Assassin’s Scourge which deals Disease damage.
5. Killer’s Blade: Now that it deals Disease damage, its a no brainer execute ability for Stamblades (can hit for up to 61k)
6. Flawless Dawnbreaker: Increases Weapon Damage by 5% plus 3% from Slayer passive. Also a powerful ultimate to use since it deals Physical damage now.

 

Bar 2

1. Endless Hail: One of the most powerful DoT in the game while using Maelstrom Bow. It does insane amount of damage and must be up all the time in single target and AoE situations.
2. Poison Injection: Really powerful DoT. Deals increased damage on enemies with less than 50% health.
3. Rearming Trap: A must have ability for all stamina classes, incredibly strong dot and grants Minor Force increasing your crit damage.
4. Siphoning Attacks: Not very important but helps sustaining your resources.
5. Anti-Cavalry Caltrops: Massive ground AoE DoT, deal quite nice damage but sadly doesn’t stack with other players’ Caltrops.
6. Shooting Star: Really nice for AoE, and more overall damage than Dawnbreaker. Also returns ultimate for each enemy hit.

 

 

Single target bars

 

[img]http://image.prntscr.com/image/928e5f64bfdd4a28abd9fbb4f536b857.png[/img]

Bar 1

1. Free Slot: You can use either a Fighters Guild ability for extra 3% weapon damage or an Assassination ability for extra 2% critical chance.
2. Rapid Strikes: Main single target spam ability. Also grants 3k weapon damage on our single target DoTs.
3. Rendering Slashes: Nice bleeding DoT. Can be empowered by Maelstrom weapons.
4. Relentless Focus: Grants Minor Berserk and Endurance, Light or Heavy Attacks proc Assassin’s Scourge which deals Disease damage.
5. Killer’s Blade: Now that it deals Disease damage, its a no brainer execute ability for Stamblades (can hit for up to 61k)
6. Flawless Dawnbreaker: Increases Weapon Damage by 5% plus 3% from Slayer passive. Also a powerful ultimate to use since it deals Physical damage now. We gonna use this ulti from 100% till 25% of boss HP. Can be empowered by Maelstrom weapons.

 

Bar 2

1. Endless Hail: One of the most powerful DoT in the game while using Maelstrom Bow. It does insane amount of damage and must be up all the time in single target and AoE situations.
2. Poison Injection: Really powerful DoT. Deals increased damage on enemies with less than 50% health. Can be empowered by Maelstrom weapons.
3. Rearming Trap: A must have ability for all stamina classes, incredibly strong dot and grants Minor Force increasing your crit damage. Can be empowered by Maelstrom weapons.
4. Siphoning Attacks: Not very important but helps sustaining your resources.
5. Anti-Cavalry Caltrops: Massive ground AoE DoT, deal quite nice damage but sadly doesn’t stack with other players’ Caltrops.
6. Incapacitating Strike: Now deals Disease damage, we are using this ultimate to gain the extra 20% damage on execution range. Killer’s Blade, Posion Injection, Rearming Trap and Endless Hail all those abilities hit hard specially the first two on execute. The 20% increased damage will help a lot in boosting our DPS during that phase.

 

As for rotation it is as following:

Potion > Relentless > Trap > Endless Hail > Poison Injection > Swap > Rapid > Rendering Slashes > Rapid > Dawnbreaker > Spam Rapid till Assassin’s Scourge proc and reapply > Rapid > Swap > Trap > Endless Hail > Poison Injection > Swap > ….. and repeat

(With light attacks in between)

Tricks you need to know

1- As you might noticed on my rotation, before I swap to bow bar I always do Rapid Strike to get the Maelstrom buff. Then I apply Trap > Hail > Injection. Doing this will empower both Trap and Poison Injection with a single buff. The reason behind this is Rearming Trap doesn’t consume the buff but it actually gets empowered, but since it takes 1.5 second to trigger we need to not apply Poison Injection before that which is why we apply Endless Hail in between.

2- During execute (at 25%) we will be spamming Killer’s Blade while maintaining Endless Hail, Poison Injection and Trap. So when these dots are about to run out you will need to do 1 Rapid Strikes > Swap > Trap > Hail > Injection > Incapacitating Strike > Swap > Spam Killer’s Blade
