Dragonknight 2 handed pvp guide

frozywozy

Hello folks!

Since there is no real Dragonknight 2 handed guide released at the moment, I've thought I would start this thread to encourage people to bring their personal opinions and advices here.

I'm fully aware that "One Hand & Shield + "Bats Swarm" + "Burning Talons" + "Dragonknight Standard" + "Blocking" combo is much better so far because of the ridiculous aoe damage, mass cc & self-healing but since I'm not here to abuse the broken combination of both the DK class, the DK build and the vamp abilities all together, I'll develop more into the 2handler build and by the way, I'm a werewolf and I still win most of my 1v1 fights.

So here is what my Nord VR1 looks like with full epics lvl 47+ excluding jewelry:

Stats

Health : 35 (2325)
Stamina : 14 (1657)
Magicka : 0 (1060)

Enchants :
- Armor : mix of max health max stamina
- Jewelry : fire and poison resist
- Weapon : reduce target armor
-
Traits :
- Armor : Impeccable (resistance to critical hits)
- Jewelry : Reduce cost of bash and reduce cost of blocking
- Weapon : Precise (increase weapon & spell critical value)

Notes :

- Igneous Weapon is much better than Forward Momentum simply because this last one must be slotted with a 2 handed weapon set and I prefer to use sword and board on my secondary set.

- I'm actually 5 heavy / 2 light (belt and gloves) so I get the passive bonus from both skill lines and it's still pretty easy anyway to soft cap the armor without Razor Armor.

- I consider switching Dragonknight Standard of Might to Flawless Dawnbreaker with the passive Skilled Tracker from the Fighter's Guild since the number of vamps / wws is growing considerably.

- When you see a vampire using bat swarm, don't forget to spread out and range him with Silver Bolts.

Rotation :

1) Igneous Weapon
2) Stampede
3) Burning Talons
4) Unstable Flame
5) Molten Whip Spam
6) Coagulating Blood
7) Executioner Spam

That's it for me.
I look forward for your personal thoughts about the best way to play a dragonknight two-handler in PvP and let me know if you have any interrogations about my own spec.

Thanks a bunch, this is what I play and I've been looking for a reccomendation that works. I've had some decent success with the Stampede / Unstable Flame / Executioner combo, but I'm sure there are other ways to maximize damage. I'm going to throw Igneous in there and start trying the bash trick, I didn't realize the damage was that good honestly.

What's your pve build for two-handed or sword and board?

I haven't made a Pve build yet since we cannot respec for a reasonable cost. Once they have made it possible, I will start focusing on Pve aswell. But for now, the veteran dungeons require that most of your skills must be morphed into multi-target or damage reduction / mitigation and this is not my case right now in Pvp. I'm looking forward into that and I hope it won't take much time until they let us have 2 different builds.
