    Magicka or stamina?
    PS4 EU DC

    Current CP : 756+

    I have every character level 50, both a magicka and stamina version.

    Well magicka is in a really bad place at the moment so i'd suggest stamina.

    I'll recommend two builds

    First is lefty lucy's build https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIUWhb_Uar0

    Second is syphers : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2HunuXNwOI

    Now you don't have to completely clone these skills, changing armour/skills to suit what you can get and what you like is recommended.

    if u go for magic build heavy armor Sword & Shield i recommend this CP build, if ur stamina build replace the MP recover & spell cost reduction with stamina cost & recovery, & instead of block expert take something else, unless u want good block with 2h wep, most should remain same, well if u want Resistant u can also replace with something else, & u can also put the point from Steed also to Hardy & elemental defender, to make them better, cause this 2 are useful

    same CP build also for Sorc, or any Magic build

    that's what i plan on getting, cause for example Armor Focus & spell shield are useless, no help at all

    Thaumaturge increases spell dam, each time i take it my spell dam goes up, i go over to slotted spell to look its dam & i see its increased, so the magic that its written on that skill means overall magic, i have seen ppl who don't know that so i figured i should explain

    LOL i run with magica heavy armor WEP Sword & Shield & i feel quite good, it feels better then Playing with My Sorc, maybe u just don't know how to play with Magic DK, maybe its also cause u tried it with Light armor, OFC that's harder, no Ward spell that Sorc has under summoning, its damage shield, harden ward even better, well that's for PVE for Sorc, ward good in PVE, back to DK, i can kill 1 enemy faster then with my sorc, slightly faster

    Lol then you are playing with your sorc wrong if you can kill people faster with a wet noodle. A sorc has higher DPS and better shields to make it tankier while getting better recovery.

    Your either lying or just really bad on a sorc.

    Yeah like i said thats not optimal at all, magelight/aegis require 4 slots straight away. Not worth it.

    3 slot for 1 wep, aegis & light take 2, other staff same, so 6 slots total for skills, 2 attack skills i mentioned + streak i use mostly so why isn't worth it? when i add more skills that i can use instead of light & aegis i will just run out of MP, that's why ESO was made with 5 quick slots not 10, cause u can't use that meany anyway, well i would just add 1quickslot to the game for skill, that would be fine, 2 more skills instead of light & aegis won't give me nothing, well that's just that's my opinion

    I run the sypher`s stam DK build, sligthly modified:

    2H
    rally, critical rush, wrecking blow, unstable flame, executioner, ulti: werewolf (stam buff)

    Bow:
    green dragon blood, poison arrow, ingenious shield, bombard, rapid maneuver, ulti: ferocious leap

    most CPs into: warlord, mighty, mooncalf, medium armor focus

    gear:
    mostly medium:
    5 Hunding`s range
    3 Nightmother`s gaze



    It works pretty well (I mostly do PVE, not so much PVP), I recommend.

    So your not using Det, curse, or endless fury? I mean you must have a pretty bad rotation then. Not to mention no healing ward or harness magicka for a shield stack. Yeah I play magicka DK and like it because of the playstyle but there is no way a magicka dk is going to kill someone while using heavy armor and s&s faster than a decent sorc. Heavy armor with S&S is going to make the dk hit like a wet noodle period in pvp where the battles will last longer than a sorc who uses det, curse, streak, proc crystal frag and endless fury.

    Mages fury is crap, low dam, i can kill my target faster without that, i'm better with out it, i tried other ways with my sorc & this is the best, quite normal, sometimes i kill then i get killed, its not like u can become more powerful or better or both then rest of the ppl, awry time ic ppl use mostly mages fury i am like, why ur using this SH. ofc i don't say it out, but i will start to give advice to replace the skill

    I'm dam dealer, so no room for healing ward, i'm focused on dealing dam

    for each wep they should do new quick slots from F1 to F5 for buffs & sustain buffs (like u cant put in in potion slots skills u can't put attack skills in buff slots, well attack buffs like boundless storm u can cause its still a buff), then i could use heal staff as my second staff, my rotation is between 2 Damage skill slots, 2 Des staves, if they make buff slot bar then i can think of rotating between Des staff & heal, & i'm not the only1 who's like that. a lot of good pvp players have 2 des staves, so don't even try to say that its bad, a disadvantage, a disability, its not

    Det curse would slow me town cause i have the most powerful 2 skills that sorc can get, i used it in lower lvl with 2 pets, morphe that made enemy weaker VS pets, i mean take more dam from pets & that worked fine, i do dam with crushing shoc few times what interrupts cast & then when instant cast effect is active i give heavy hit to my target with crystal fragments, insane good dam
