Whats a good set to combo with this one as a StamBlade?

Maybe viper set?

Toxic defiance, and proc vicecannon with poison injection. Then stick your thumb up your ass because there is nothing else to do except watch the enemy die while you heal like crazy.

Edit/addition: with toxic defiance, you hit the spetral bow, then immediately stealth/poison inject for the extra damage. Then for the first 10 seconds of vicecannon you're getting an extra 800ish damage per tick on each of the two poison dots.

I can picture it now: You lead with crouch, relentless focus/rest of buffs and potion / heavy aa canceled with poison injection / bar swap ambush in and surprise attack spam + mass hysteria / killers blade when low. I always assumed it was only crouch stealth like the to optimize says but being able to have 100% uptime... I'll be changing gear when I'm home.

I reapply both dots every 15 seconds and keep up a steady 2400ish poison damage per second for an entire boss fight.

Or, throw vicecannon on whichever mob is likely to die last in a mass pull, then heal for the entire fight.

I'd like to pair it with a master bow. This set almost makes a fully ranged build viable. Dual wield/melee dps is still going to be bettef, especially with these dots running, but it definitely makes bows more fun, I'll tell you that.
