As mentioned in the title above, I'm looking for help rotating a Stamina nightblade. I've been searching the internet for days but can't find anything that I understand, maybe you can help me with simple words.
I have built a build of the YouTuber name "Liko" (
unfortunately I don't understand its rotation and my English doesn't help me there either. I would like to know what rotation he has, please help me: /
maybe you would be so nice and write me the rotation in simple words with an explanation (I play on PS4) :)
(Unimportant things / Only my skills as seen in the video)
BAR 1.
Withdrawal attacks
Endless hail
barbed trap
Dark shadows
lethal injection
BAR 2.
Tireless focus
cuts
soul trap
surprise attack
killer blade
I Thank you
What exactly do you not understand about the Stamblade Rota?
On the backbar where your bow is, you have all DoT's, on a front bar with dagger / ax are usually the ST skills.
First you activate your Sustain and Damage Buffs → Focus & Depriving Attacks. The two should always be active and produce the maximum damage.
Then you work through your DoT Bar. Hail → trap → shadow (every 2nd rotation) → injection.
Then you switch to the front bar, blow out the soul trap, make 3-4 surprise attacks and switch back to the backbar.
Between each skill you MUST insert a light attack for the focus proc.
The only important thing is that you have an eye on when you have finished your 5 procs from the focus and activate it directly.
Standard Stamblade Rotation:
Enable focus & depriving attacks
Hail of arrows → Slight attack
Trap (every 2nd rotation) → Light attack
Injection → Light attack
Shadows (every 2nd rotation) → Light attack
Check whether "Withdrawal Attacks" is still active
BAR SWAP on front bar
Soul trap (Every 2nd rotation) → Light attack
separating cut
Surprise attack → Light attack
Surprise attack → Light attack
Surprise attack → Light attack
Check whether "focus" is still active
TO REPEAT
Annotation:
The focus collects a charge with every attack, which is why you incorporate light attacks to collect them quickly. With 5 charges, you can reactivate the skill to fire your spectral arc, so that's where most of your damage comes from.
In the Execute, ie Boss HP below 25%, you make your Execute Move "Killer Blade" on the front bar instead of "cut" and "surprise attack".
Thanks for your help, I think I understand it now and will give it a try.
I've got one more question…
According to Build, I'm supposed to play with Lokke and Relequen (all traids are divine etc.), have both sets completely together, but do less than with my standard set (Hundings Zorn und Neumond Acolyt).
I run with both sets of raids but have poorer DPS, is that just because of my rotation?
It depends on which way you test your DPS. Only the 21M dummy delivers results that really say something.
Lokke / Rele and Lokke / Acolyte are meta for every StamDD.
You just have to get a good uptime on Lokke to use the full potential.
The timing of how and when you activate synergies naturally affects that, but even if you do it badly, your DPS should be about Hunding / Acolyte.
The rotations are pure training.
Approach:
• Perfected Lokke or normal Lokke?
(Of course, perfected only drops from vSunspire)
• Nirn + Sharpened on DW?
• Are all morphs correct?
• Bloodthirsty trait on jewelry?
• Infused vMA bow?
• race / class?
• All passives included?
Thanks for your quick reply.
Lokke I have daggers / ax both on gold with Nirn / Sharp
Lokke jewelry unfortunately only on purple / weapon power (currently still Stamina Traid) ^^
Rele I have everything on gold in divine and of course stamina
Monster I also play Sele both in divine and perseverance
Mundus I have the lover
I have always failed the Mahlstrom Arena so far>.> / Am currently CP 424 and do not yet know the spawns by heart
as a class I play Rothwardone because I was told earlier that it should be good
which passive I have to have now, I'm a little overwhelmed, have almost all the pieces of heaven and invested in everything that sounds good.
Your gear itself is enough for now.
As Mundus you play shadow because you build on your crits with Lokke / Relequen. The required PhysPen. You usually get enough from your CPs.
Your breed is good. The orc is better in terms of damage, but also always needs the expensive buff food to avoid running empty.
Switch Mundus to Shadow and have Blue Food (Dual Stats → Max. HP + Max. Stamina) active. "Braised Rabbit with Spring Vegetables" is what you can use as a guide.
As a passive you need all of the race, class, dual field, medium armor, and hold warrior guild etc. From the Dawnbreaker.
Which CPs do you play? Respectively. More precisely in the Damage Tree.
Weapon power pots active?
Okay then I'll change my Mundus
I already have all the passive ones.
As pots, I use essence of stamina and essence of critical weapon hits
CP I play:
THE THIEF
The tower: // Warlord 7 // Aspirator 1 //
The Lover: // Lunar Calf 100 // Tenacity 19 //
The shadow: // flexibility 11 //
THE MAGICIAN
The Atronach: // Waffenmeister 34 //
The ritual: // Thaumaturg 20 // Precise strokes 23 // Penetrating 42 // Strong 19 //
THE WARRIOR
The Warhorse: // Unassailable 23 // Magic Shield 18 //
The princess: // hardened 43 // thick-skinned 11 // elementary defenders 43 //
In terms of CPs, that would adjust a bit:
Green Tree:
You don't need 100 in lunar calf on your CP area yet, you can reduce that to 75 and set the points in warlord for better sustain or block cost reduction.
Blue tree:
Penetrating is important, but not so important ^^
The priority should be strong here, then Thauma → Precise Strikes → Penetrating.
You can also halve the weapons master and clap the 17 points to the physical weapons expert.
Red Tree: The optimal Red CPs change with every dungeon and opponent, so you have to look in advance what you need. In general, vHoF CPs are quite suitable for this.
Okay then I will change a few things, do you have any other important tips or suggestions?
Pay attention to the animation and stay constant. With a stem blade, it only takes a few mistakes to lose damage.
Just train and train, put on the dummy and get a feel for it until you almost no longer have to think about what you are doing.
Okay thanks, I will do my best.
There would still be one…
If I now wear Lokke and Rele at the same time, will I get the "Smaller Butcher" twice (10%) or can I not stack it and I only get the 5%?
Minor and major buffs don't stack, you stay at 5%. You play Lokke because of the 5 Piece Major Slayer Bonus.
