Great build. It's nice to see someone utilizing health recovery and heavy armor.

Is malubeth really that crazy if only 1000 crit res if enough for you?

Damn...why can't we change item apperance yet...

Hey,
I like your idea thinking out of the 'box'
How is your experience in fighting, does it feel solid?
Thanx for the build btw

Paraflex

I like the build man really cool direction your going with it.

It's a cool build but how does it do when you get jumped by a stamina bow build from stealth? My stamina Dk crit anywhere from 10k-16k from stealth. With only 1k crit resist I would imagine it to be difficult to survive a stealth gank from behind a rock. Not to mention what about running around a keep where your getting hit from ranged above you and all you can do is hit vigor and dragon fire scale to deflect damage. How are you putting out any damage to people from range? I see this build being effective from a solo 1v1 or 1v2 scenario in open play. But you're gonna get waxed by ranged if they are out of reach from your gap closer when taking keeps.

I guess strengths and weaknesses to every build but just saying... Overall I give it an 8 out of 10.

@Paraflex Thank you I appreciate it

@Hutch679 Thanks for watching. I do really well against gankers, zergbad exterminator himself hit me for a 12k wrecking blow from stealth, less than half of my health. I use him as an example because he's a damn good ganker, one of the best.

Against ranged targets, I have a gap closer (invasion), simple as that. Anyone that uses ranged, ALMOST always has to be within range of my gap closer. IF they happen to be outside my gap closing range, they are most likely spamming snipe, which means they aren't going to kill me anyway. Why? I can just break line of sight, using a tree/wall/rock, and force them to engage with me. Never leave yourself without some form of cover option. Not only that, but with the amount of mitigation I have, healing from igneous shields+vigor combo, as well as my health regen, snipe spam alone won't kill me.

@sly007 Thanks

@mzapkeneb18_ESO lol yeah, was using it before they broke it, and i'll use it after they fix it. But yeah, it's way too powerful/broken.

@damtotb16_ESO Thanks for watching! yep, it feels solid.

@duuude9192b14_ESO Why not 5/1/1 for your armor? I've been basing my build on yours and I've been told going 7 full heavy is a waste.

duuude9192b14_ESO

@Tythonis 7/7 heavy armor is not a waste. I get more benefit from Constitution, giving more stat return and more health regen. I get more mitigation, and more health. In my opinion, it's worth more than 4% more stam and magicka.

deepseamk20b14_ESO

Very interesting build. I forget how powerful DK skills actually are. I wish cyrodiils crest stuff had weapons and a shield.

duuude9192b14_ESO

@deepseamk20b14_ESO deep sea!!!! Thanks I wish that as well.

pcar944

wow very cool

I'm playing as mDK but looks like Heavy Armor is pretty good this patch, may switch to that

I think I should switch some points from Mag to Health to be a little tankier as well

duuude9192b14_ESO

@pcar944 Thanks for watching. Heavy armor is quite nice this patch. Tanking is getting better by the quarter.

@duuude9192b14_ESO wanted to let you know that I created a build that is ~similar to this after looking into it. The only difference is the sets I use and a few skills. So I made mine using 5 piece hundings rage, 5 piece dreughs king slayer, and 2 piece malubeth the scourger. It is absolutely owning in imperial city. The reason I went with these sets is because I don't like the theory of letting people hit me to get stronger. My weapon damage is ~3800 fully buffed. Dreughs king slayer allows me to not have to slot or cast any spells that give major brutality as it is the 5 piece passive which basically gives me another slot on my bar. I run reverberating bash for major defile and don't use igneous shield. Instead I use Coag blood and resolving vigor on my sword and board bar as its a nice burst heal followed by a heal over time. My dps bar I'm using venomous claw, noxious breath, blood craze, evil hunter (not much of a need to morph it), and dragon fire scale. Seriously it's a pretty damn good build for small group and solo play. When I play in large groups I swap back to my zOMG heavy attack ganking bow spamming dizzying swing build lol.

But very nice post and I think you gave me the idea for my build

@Hutch679 Glad to hear it
