I think stormfist is bad set for stam dps, coz of CP(Mighty). Electric damage is for mages, stamina character must have phys, poison, desease damage. Velidreth, Selen etc. Also Rele and Tooth gives minor slayer both, so 1 stat useless. Maybe 2 daggers is good for khajit, but axe on mainhand can give a bit more dps.
