Stamknight - Orc vs. Redguard

Synnkar

Hey folks,

I really like playing Orcs (both looks and the sprint bonus), but I'm thinking Redguard will end up being quite a bit stronger than Orc for a stam DK in PvP (solo or small team play). The increased stam regen, coupled with CPs, will allow the build to use a food buff instead of a drink while still sustaining pretty good and gain a massive increase in damage. I'm guessing I'd have to use a drink for decent sustain if I go with Orc and +melee wep buff won't be enough to offset this large gain.

Any thoughts or feedback?

Thanks

Redguard for Stam Regen

Orc for Mobility and bonus perks.

Honestly depends on your play style and how well you manage resources

Orcs are more versatile if you ask me. For example when you're in boredom by wrecking everything near you, you can just make a health regen build or something that is somewhat tankier than FOTM wrecking blow spam build. Their damage bonus passive boosts your damage by a lot, that you won't lose big chunk of your damage for going defensive. It's even more useful for dmg focus builds for obvious reasons. So there is that.

You regain stamina through couple more other ways outside of your regen stat. Even more with a DK. Which makes regen oriented races such as redguard, an overplus. But that doesn't mean those races are bad. It's about what kind of build you play and your playstyle. If you use heavy attacks in your rotations or you're close to CP cap, you dont need redguard at all.
Just keep it in mind, If you block often with a redguard, you pretty much wasting your entire race choice.


However you can just ignore all these and choose orc eyes closed because they are ORCs. Freaking savage beasts. They do awesome fat characters with silly moustache.

I have 2 dks at lvl 33, one redguard and one imperial. Still can't decide which one to level. Probably imperial since the redguard was my first char and has some ugly ass rasta ahaha

Redguards sustain significantly better due to a regen passive and Adrenaline Rush and thus can gear out more for DPS while maintaining a base level of sustain. Redguard is probably better than Orc for stam DK, though the difference is probably quite marginal.

Wait... do you only have 2 characters then? In the 30s? And you've been so prolific complaining about things on the forums?

Omg no I have a vr16 former emperor badass redguard templar.
I just tried a few things when I started that's why I have 2 Dk alts.

Heh, well I am certainly glad to hear that you are not making forum complaints without having hit v16. I'm sure others do, but it's rather poor form to do so.

I started complaining way after vr16 and lots of pvp. Especially when I strated dueling, there you can see the biggest weaknesses templars have.
But hey let's not change the theme of the thread
