Gear Set Explanation
Relequen: A new set added in the Summerset chapter, this has become a staple dps set for stamina damage dealers. The buff that it provides is very strong and it is our go to set currently. If you do not have access to Summerset or do not like this set for whatever reason, I recommend using Hunding's Rage in its place, which is an extremely solid set that provides a great stat spread for DPS.
Berserking Warrior: This set is amazing for boosting our critical chance through the roof. Between the major savagery from Biting Jabs, this set, and the fact that we are in medium armor, you will be hitting critical strikes constantly! If you are looking to pair another set with Hunding’s though and want a setup that doesn’t require trials gear, I recommend using Briarheart in this slot; this will give you a big boost to your weapon damage and provide some healing.
Stormfist: A great stamina dps monster set. The proc has a wide AoE radius and it deals really good damage, the line of stamina recovery is nice and our jabs allows us to proc this very regularly. Overall just a solid choice for our final two piece set.

Vampire vs. Werewolf vs. Mortal
You are playing a mortal for this build. Werewolf doesnt offer us anything we need for the build since it takes up an ultimate slot where we have better choices, and vampire, while not a bad choice, will make us a bit too susceptible to fire damage. Vampire is a good choice though if you feel you’re struggling to sustain, but I personally dont run it.
