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

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

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

@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.

@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.

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

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 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

Are you also heavy or medium?
