I wanted to see if I could think of an easy rotation that could sustain on its own without Leeching, included 2-3 heavy attacks, and had a high uptime on Relentless with 2+ spectrals per roto. I guess this one is pretty good :). And yes, this works with a War Machine (WM) rotation too. The only downside to this roto is that hail is down for 1-2 seconds. I'm sure there's a better one out there; I will keep testing when I have time.

I must say, the Stamblade is an extremely hard class to play (at least in my opinion) and although it isn't part of the meta (yet?), it can be very impressive and fun if in the right hands. Can you pull it off?

Rotation (buff up first):
Light Attack (LA) - Trap - LA - Hail - LA - Caltrops - LA - Poison Inj. - Barswap - LA - Relentless Focus (RF, spectral should be up) - HA - Rending - HA - Cloak - HA - Surprise Attack (SA) - LA - SA - LA - RF (either another spectral or a recast) - Barswap and repeat

Notes for rotation:
- When you use an ultimate, you should skip a SA to speed up the rotation.
- Once you enter execute (25%), you can stop using cloak, but if you want to be extra safe - especially in hectic fights - you can keep it up. Just be careful with resources.
- Buff trackers are a good idea to know when your spectral is up, and when to recast Relentless.
- You’ll most likely not be able to follow this exact roto in raids because of pressure and mechanics, so you’ll really have to keep an eye on your spectral.

- Questions -

Q: Ok so now you use Precise offhand and Nirn bow?
A: Yes because I was testing WM earlier and didn't have a sharp offhand for WM so I just kept this on. As for the nirn bow, it's pretty much the same as sharp but sharp obviously a little stronger here. Again, you can use whatever lol.

Q: How about the Nirn Mainhand/Infused Offhand deal?
A: I have heard about that combo but have yet to test it. I was told it doesn't do THAT much better than Infused/Precise or Sharp in group play so I didn't bother getting a nirnhoned VO Dagger.

Q: Is War Machine not good anymore?
A: WM is still good 100%. In fact, it's better than this setup not just for solo parsing but for group parses and trials as well - so it's not cheese lol. I just didn't include it because I already made videos showing what it is capable of and wanted to put out a different kind of setup - one that's easy for trials.

Q: What if I don't have VO Daggers?
A: That is perfectly OK! You can craft 2 Hunding's Daggers - the difference is very small. Plus, you'll sustain better b/c you have 5 VO on the body. You can do the same for War Machine too.

Q: I still can't sustain this. Help?
A: Try leeching strikes over Reaper's Mark, that should help. If not, try doing more heavies and don't get greedy with light attacks.

As always, thanks for watching! Good luck :)
