Magicka Dragonknight is NOT dead this patch!

frownsyndromes · August 2016

hey guys every day i see someone on the forums stressing that this patch has made mag dk unplayable but id just like to point out that it is slightly weaker than last patch but its so far from dead guys, watch the video and see how much crowd cotrol and constant annoyance a magicka dragonknight can bring to a small group. understand that a mag dk needs someone or a couple of people with you to really make its true colours shine (not to say you cant play it solo but its not its strong point) anyways guys enjoy the video and let me know what you think

suggestions are very welcome as my build can always be better

Yeah well... Getting outnumbered by pvp level 0 ( pve sewers farmers) and low level players...
In all the video there was two CP 501 everyone else was under 300 and usually low CP till 400 get two shotted in Cyro.

Nice try, terribile music....

The music wasn't too bad and a magicka Dragonknight is still very viable in PvE.

We are talking of pvp here.

I play all 4 classes in Cyro and believe me my mag dk is in vacation from two months now..

look again mate clearly there are several instances in the second clip with many 501 cp

I was about to make a super long rant about the awesome that is Magicka DK, only to realize you guys are only talking about PvP and therefore nothing i have to say is relevant.

PvE for Life!

Far be it from me to judge, but you went oom in a matter of moments in thst first encounter vs low level players.

In PVE, they are just fine, but I wouldnt mind a small buff. My criticism is that they must play melee range and use a lot of ground AOE's so they should prob hit a bit harder than a highly mobile magic NB standing 30 feet away. , In PVP they can be VERY effective if played correctly. It's just not a playstyle that a lot of people seem to enjoy. They dont have the burst of some other classes, and you typically need to wear down your opponent. I find most people want to burst and get out. The flip side is that a proper Magic DK can pretty much fend off an entire zerg.

Srry son u fought some scrubs, also half of the the clip u used only inhale and healing ward spam combo, come on.. but glad u enjoy the game and mDK!

I'm not sure what AOE's you're talking about, we have Eruption and Blockade...After that it's melee range AOEs and Whip.

Now on the matte of melee oriented, I do agree with you. I really really really wish was a little longer. I'm not asking much, 15 meters seems fair.

I wish that console DK's could have experienced the DK of old, even watching old videos you can't really understand how far we've fallen.

heh, when Light Armor gave you equal protection, Elemetnal Ring killed everyone and Bats + Standard said "good night" to the rest of the people who came near you.

Anhedonie · August 2016

Yeah, because it has been dead for several patches before.
It just keeps being not alive.

I haven't watched the video yet OP, but you mentioned small group. Small group PvP is where mDKs shine. Where they struggle is in solo open world PvP.

Really anything that isn't solo they do amazing, give a good mDK a pocket healer and they are very hard to bring down.

I have pocketless leggings on my dk.. Maybe that's why I always get rekt.

Grats, you took the worst class/build and found a way to make almost as good as everyone else..

P.s. they died a long time ago.

Nice work mate, although its good build dont stop to making it better and better, there is always something that could be done better

Seriously good job out there

Nobody doubts the utility and usefullness of a magdk in small scale or even in duels. It's the fact they're gimped into using sword and board plus they have zero mobility. Solo play they lack behind all the other classes

I_killed_Vivec · August 2016

I love playing my magDK

The only problem is that because everything is melee ranged it leads to rushing in, standing your ground and burning everything that moves.

Which is a lot of fun with trash mobs but encourages a style of play not suited to encounters that require a more considered approach...
