Returning VR3 PvE DK - Where to go from here?

synfoolab14_ESO

Hi, all.

After returning and asking advice on changes, I realized I forgot something that could possibly be more important as many, if not most, of the builds and advice are for capped characters.

I'm currently VR3 on this toon and I'm wondering if I should be speccing more for DPS instead of tanking until I get to cap. So far, I threw all my stat points into Health and started throwing class points into the skills for the Blockade build as I really want to continue using Sword & Board. I haven't fully burned my point up yet and still have yet to start speccing Champion points or looking for gear. Do you guys recommend me holding off on continuing the Blockade build and speccing some sort of DPS instead until the cap or to just level with what I have? Thanks!

You can tank every vet dungeon, veteran dragonstar arena, helra and aetherian archives with half of atribute points in health and the rest in your dps resource of choice, with that and dps gear you shouldnt have any problem soling or even as dps in vet dungeons and will be a lot faster than a tank build. I know because i did it on my DK until i faced Ophidian as tank.

Keep in mind that for leveling you need kill things yourself so pick magicka or stamina and the dps weapon you like more. Get a couple of sets like 5 hunding's rage + 3/4 ashen grip (medium, stamina enchants, infused and divines) for example as stamina build and go kill. Get 5 hist bark + 4 alessia + cost reduction enchants for jewelry (all heavy, hp enchants for armor, reinforced and defending) and go tank, you souldnt have any problem. This are examples, but work for sure (I still use hundings + ashen grip for dps as vr14 with ok result).

Make sure to have all the passives for the 2 armors of your choice and the weapon of your choice.
