DK ranged stamina build

Wingdude

Hi everyone out there. I am really struggeling with my DK.
I am used to keep him with a stamina build.

As tank and melee dps he is doing realy fine and i am quiet happy with him.

But if the moment comes a range build is needed dps drops hard atm. Almost not usable for endgame

As there is no other choice i am using the bow for dmg and two handed for buffing.

Can you give me any advice or a link to a build you made good experience with a ranged dk stamina?

Thx

I'm working on my ranged DPS pure DPS DK. My bars will look something like this:

Focused| Magnum | Venom |Flames of | Molten | Evil [Corrosive]
Aim | Shot | Arrow | Oblivion | Weapons| Hunter [ Armor ]

- Bow, Single Target, High Crit, Ranged, Finishing

Scalding | Bombard/ | Razor | Scorched | Eruption [Shooting]
Rune |Acid Spray| Caltrops | Earth | [ Star ]

- Bow, Ranged, Fire Dmg, AOE, DoTs

I have them saved on a note pad so the format is a bit odd. Still I've found that heavy weave with Molten Weapon and occasional Venom Arrow for DOT with Magnum shot for distancing gives very nice numbers. That being said, Scorched Earth + Bombard also works wonders if you get the timing right.

Since I run Dual Wield as part my melee DPS, I thought about using hidden blade and the deadly cloak morph to make a self contained melee/ranged bar but it's kinda "meh".

Either way, I'm just learning this build, so much to try and experiment with, but work on weaving heavy attacks and play up your ardent flame passives with other fire based skills.

Once complete my gearing for my build it will be using Undaunted Infiltrator 5 set, Spawn of Mephala 2 set, and the Poisonous Serpent 3 set. At the moment I have the full set of Undaunted Infiltrator and use Molten Armaments and/or Degeneration (mages guild) to trigger it's buff. It's truly hard hitting damage, with my bow heavy attacks landing well in excess of 10k damage against vet delve bosses. The key to my method of Bow heavy attack DPS in PvE is to keep up my DOT's (Scotched Earth, Poison Injection, Eruption, Burning Breath, Unstable Flame, and Degeneration) to keep the damage ticking while I'm charging up the heavies.

Buffing bow damage truly comes from focusing on critical rate and critical damage in addition to your physical damage. It's actually a fair trade off from regeneration and bigger stamina pool gearing options if you really focus on heavy attacks, as they'll restore healthy chunks of your stamina. Focus on using Earthen Heart abilities and consider using Evil Hunter to further extend that stamina bar, but always always always prioritise your DOTs.
