What are the build options for a Nord DK ?

Tase

I'm getting back into the game and I'm playing on my level 40 Nord DK. I'm looking for a build to follow, mainly weapon+armor setup.

Seems like race matters in most builds, anything DPS is Dunmer and the rest doesn't work (stamina DK doesn't work because DK doesn't have any stamina abilities). DK's starting to feel like a one-trick pony; staff and light armor, nothing else.

Nord DK here.

new flavour of the month is stamina build. DK on stamina, specially 2H is the bomb these days. DPS are the stam skills from weapon, and ur buff/heal is from ur class. ALSO, now we got 2 stam morph in our class skill.

but many are running tanks and healer with resto.

race matters, but as Nord, it's not as bad as people say it is. we're pretty much best as tank, that is true. tank with heavies.

but slap some medium and go full DPS can really build one scary DPS tank.

light, on the contrary, got a nerf. so staff isn't exactly easy to work with.

So welcome back. Have fun mix-n-matching. Soft cap are gone, so feel free to focus or go even, a lot of build is definitely "viable".

Thanks for the rundown & encouragement, going to try out that 2H dps idea, weapon skills with class buff/heals.

Dragon Knight got some really good stamina morphs in the ardent flame tree. Combine that with a twohander and a bow (or sword and shield) and you're good to go. I prefer 5 pieces of medium armor and 2 pieces of heavy armor.

I use the bloody butcher build from deltiagaming.com.
I feel strong and powerful.

I have a V14 DK Nord and since your are only level 40 I would personally go with another race with better racial passives, just my 2 cents worth. I also have a V8 DK Dark Elf, V8 High Elf Sorc, V7 Imperial Nightblade and a V7 Breton Templar.

Try 2hand stamina if you want, personally not liking it.

Anyone competent will just cancel or dodge your wrecking blow.

For PvE, yeah, that's what I use.

For PvP, feel like I have no survivability, and that damage deaing is better left to the Nightblades.
