Optimal DK Leveling Build 1-50 SINGLE BAR

Mricci1988 · June 2015

Good evening everyone,

I wanted to get some feedback on everyone's on a SINGLE BAR build for a Melee Stamina DK.

I am still debating if Magicka or Stamina is stronger on a DK. Please bare with me as this is my first serious ESO toon that I am investing my time developing instead of rushing through.

5 medium armor / 2 Heavy armor (Chest / Shoulders heavy)
Mundus Stone: The Lady (armor)
Race: Breton (RP purposes)
World Form: Werewolf

Attibutes (Currently level 20)
- 10 Stamina
- 9 Health

Skills: Dual Wield only
- Burning Talons
- Fiery Breath
- Unstable Flame
- Steel Tornado
- Green Dragon Blood
- Dragon Leap (Take flight)

The DPS I find is not as strong as my Nightblade as a burst but the AOE is fantastic for now.

What would you guys do to improve the build?
- Replace Steel Tornado with Twin Slashes?
- Standard of Might instead of Dragon Leap?

For leveling I understand 1-50 you can make any build work but I am looking for optimization as I am a lazy leveler not wanting to swap bars at the moment...I do agree that I could max my DPS a bit with bow...but again im a lazy mmo leveler....

In advance id like that express my apprciiation to everyone readying and advising thoughts and feedback.

I have done some research but its mostly for veteran leveling.

Instead of making a build at those low levels you should concentrate leveling all class skills. Keep at least one skill from weapon and each class branch on your bar and change them to next when they get morphable. When the weapon is leveled, switch to next. Wear 5+1+1 armor to level up all types. Put your next weapon behind swap, fill the bar with skills needing leveling and equip it when returning quests.

When you have all class skills leveled you might start thinking about build. You also have probably reached veteran level. Make your main bar now more of a build but keep the swap for returning quests and continue leveling up guild skills, new weapons and morphs.
