should i reset my stamina base Dragon Knight Dark elf to magicka base for more dps

Bats0828 · September 2015

hey guys do you think i should switch to magicka base for my dark elf dragon knight for more dps? i've been trying to experiment some build but i've noticed that i run out of stamina faster since the latest update.i don't know if it has something to do with stamina base being nerf. should i switch to magicka for dps?

If you mean since IC release it is because you no longer regen stam while blocking and rolling cost 33% more when you spam it. Other than that magicka and stamina are both experiencing a sense of lowered recovery. If damage is one of your main concerns I would stick with stamina.

Yes you should. Especially since your a Dark Elf and your racial passive gives you 7% more fire damage and Magicka DK is ALL about fire damage.

Are you looking for a PVE or PVP centric build?

@Cuyler
I am looking for PVP build but can also do high damage and survive dungeons...my dragon knight is really build for tanking vet dungeons. But i got bored playing it cause all i do is try to taunt bosses. I wanna do some dps this time for mainly pvp and on some vet dungeons from time to time...can u suggest a build? I am looking at deltias old videos of dps dragon knight but not sure if it will work out on latest update.

Deltia said he was updating his laceration DPS DK for the new patch soon. He is waiting on a piece of armor. I am anxious to see the changes he makes.

My stam DK dps is crazy, and that's running S+B on both bars. I'm also comparing it to my Nightblade and Sorcerer. I'm not sure what it is, but I find taking down targets much easier and quicker on my DK. Also, eat food bruh and keep those Ultimates up to proc battle roar to replenish your resources.

@Bats0828 The best I can do for Pvp builds is direct you to THIS LIST of DK builds. I would take a look at either Sypher's or Lefty Lucy's builds....both stamina builds. I recommend staying stamina, because in PvP it really can help having additional ability to dodge or break free.
