Help me turn my PVE build into a PVP build!

Cristian5505

I followed someone else's PVE build which can be turned into a PVP build but, I am not sure how to. I am a Nord DK DPS. I use Duel wield and bow. Skills used in duel wield bar are Burning Breath, Flying Blade, Flame lash, Rapid Strikes or sometimes Steel tornado, and Green Dragon's blood. Skills used in Bow bar are Poison Injection, Rapid Maneuver (Idk what to put in that slot for combat), Stone Giant, Igneous shield, and Igneous Weapons. I use 5 Med and 2 Heavy. Ultimate is Flawless Dawnbreaker. I use Hundings rage and the Ashen Grip set. Enchants on armour is full stam and attribute points are 15 health and 34 stam. (vr 4)

I'm a stam DK myself and do, what I feel anyway, well in PvP. I'm 2H and Bow though. My Bow bar is Poison Injection, Lethal Arrow, Dragon Fire Scale, Igneous Shield, Green Dragon Blood and Corrosive Armor. I started as DW but found I needed the burst and CC Wrecking Blow provided. The only things on my 2H bar you might consider are Fossilize and Ferocious Leap. Fossilize is key in forcing an opponents resource use as well as obviously giving you a free shot or room to breath for a sec. Leap is super cheap, fills in moments if you're weaving, does good damage and knocks whole groups down while giving you a shield. As for what DW skills are best for PvP I'll let a someone more experienced with that answer.

I am a magicka DK myself so that said, these are some thoughts.

I would replace GDB with healing ward for 1.7 because GDB is pretty bad on healing in 1.7 and healing ward is pretty strong. Vigor is really nice for a stam heal as well.

I agree with Thecapeo on Fossilize as your CC, it will cause your opponent to have to break free and dodgeroll to completely remove the CC. In 1.7 you may want to consider shattering rocks instead if you use flame lash because shattering rocks has a chance to set the opponent off balance and Flame lash will do 25% more damage against off balance opponents. Once they are off balance just do a heavy attack and they will fall down followed by a flame lash at +25% damage. If you have the noble set on 10% more as well.

Igneous shield is good to have for two reasons. 1. it gives a shield to you and your allies, 2. You can use it to exchange magicka for stamina.

For now if you can handle the stamina I would just use steel tornado without whip. Spin 2 win. It's better in every way. Longer range, more damage because it's stat congruent compared to whip, and it has execute on it.
