Pvp without stamina?

I'm hoping to finally have a character without stamina (silly stam..) The only char I have that I can feasably not have stamina is my ice/kin corruptor. I've been very hesitant to spec it out as I originally made this character to pvp (sirens specificly so I lose transference (35 for corruptors)). I would lose transference whilse there and thus have some really bad end issues (hasten/sithen speed/2 toggles+no stam = no end..).

Has anyone tried a stam less build in sirens? Does it work? I mean it's not like the sustained combat of pvm so perhaps. I really can't check this out on test unfortunatly. I'd really love to try a stam-less build but currently I get low on end even with end red in everyhitng and no toggles :P.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Oh yeah my planned build has 4 toggles :P (3 end red in each), end goes like a yoyo but never run out (with transference every 10 secs or so). Thinking of stam now :'(

Not if you plan to PvP in BB or Sirens. Transference is available at 35 for corruptors leaving you just Warburg for PvP.

Yeah I know, hence why I'm really put off dropping stam .

Some ATs can manage fine without Stamina in PvP - Stalkers spring to mind and Brutes with Energy Aura. Stalkers because they are about delivering high damage over a short period and EA Brutes because they have two Endurance powers. I think it would be very tough with a Corruptor though.

Messed up my Ice/Nrg for Sc by taking out stam early, conserve power doesnt seem to help much . Ice just seems to drain so much I think it may be hard going.

Or is the question any AT? Think all mine have stamina, you may be able to kill one person without it but for team fights that can go on for hours stamina helps loads, (apart from the ATs Filth mentioned and even there an active stalker can do with having it).

I really wouldn't do that on an Ice/ Corruptor for Siren's. The primary uses so much end on its own, you'll be gasping. Running Shadow Fall and Hover on my Ice/Dark, I regularly run out of endurance while attacking people even with Stamina.

Not sure; a corrupter without stamina is perfectly feasible if you think along the lines of strike first, get health down, Scourge carries it in your favour.

You won't be winning fights against Scrappers or Tanks anytime soon, but then again, not many ranged ATs with or without stamina are.

Filth's right that as a Stalker you need Stamina in pvp less, but to be honest I found it a pain without it even with Energy Drain from my secondary, Energy Aura. I'm a pretty patient pvper and Stalker, but I found it just a pain to have to rest all the time, or jump into a dangerous position in order to Energy Drain some end back.

Think he was refering to Ice/Kin in SC without stamina, or do some corruptors pull that off without a team? If so then there is your answer .

Looks like I'll have to give up on this idea . Maybe I'll give it a try when the new zone is aviailible .

I've been fine as a rad/kin non-stamina (less toggles though) build in Sirens. If anything the hit+run style of PvP is more suited to staminaless builds than PvE.

Stamina is not a must in PvP. Build around the attack cycles good and you wont have any issues.

well my attack cycle involves spamming 3 ice spells as fast as humanly possible :P not much planning too it really.

Presumably you do have accelerate metabolism though?

I have an Ice/Kin (2 more levels till the sweetness that is fulcrum shift ) and I would not like to try and PvP in SC without stamina - even with stamina you can hit empty far too often. You could probably do very well against most things but anything with a lot of hit points will leave you gasping.

That said, you can build an Ice/Kin with stamina under 30 without sacrificing too much...

yeah, posted pre-morning coffee and read that as Ice/Rad for some reason ...

Rad blast is a lot less hungry than Ice though (my Ice/Kin bottomed out every fight pre-transference, my Rad/Rad rarely has to stop, even when AM is not up)
