What? I play main MagDK pvp in cyrodiil. I'm having tons of fun. MagDK isn't in a bad place AT ALL.
Not being able to tank off 5 ppl hitting you isn't weakness. No one should be able.
But if those 5 ppl are snipers, then it's really easy to tank them off. Even kill them. Just use your wing, reduce 50% projectile damage and you cause flame damage back to the attacker. That alone should give you tons of survival against ranged attacks. Then just leap when you see one with half health bar and whip. R.I.P.
I love how magDK is doing this days. Of course this buff would come handy, but I don't think it's really needed.
People really crave poor balance this badly? Old wings are too hard of a counter to magsorc and magblade, of which I play neither. All the magdks who’ve been crutching on malacath, heavy armour and proc damage sets think an absurd wings buff make things as easy they were last patch. Wait until you play in the sewers, if you think magsorcs strong wait until you play against proc sets again and fight a stam build in pariah with malacath and balorgh on. When you’re getting wrecking blow spammed for as hard as a c frag hits by a character with capped resists and huge health recovery you won’t have the slightest problem with sorcs anymore.

Ok then make it reflect 2 projectiles and then block 50% damage for the remaining time. Or toss the ability and replace it with a 5 times purge. Or replace wings with a timed detonation that hits someone after X seconds and bam mdk's have burst damage.
Or you could just make it useless and no one will use it that's always cool :^D

So drop wings a run purge lmao, or what you’re saying is that you want DK to have a better purge than templar for less cost?
Old wings literally shut down everything a magblade would do except ult.
Swallow soul? Reflect
Merciless? Reflect
Crippling grasp? Reflect
Impale? Reflect
Light attack? Reflect.
Like it was flat out dumb. No class should be completely countered by 1 skill.

They're awful skills for pvp.
So I have to change to use sub optimal skills to just fight one class? Tell me one other instance where that happens.
It doesn't.

Now imagine being a mag DK where all of your skills are melee, your only (non-ultimate) gap closer is Empowering Chains (which is dramatically worse than Lotus Fan), and your main spammable is one of the Lava Whip morphs (neither of which is significantly better than Concealed Weapon).
I don't think protective scale should be buffed. The real problem is the class actually useless in this meta where the healings are stronger. With all the dots you still don't have damage to kill someone if he just uses a regeneration or vigor. It is hard to fix a class based on dots and a bad spammable in this meta.

Talking about DoT.... Don't forget another disadvantage... DoT can be purged... Some classes have excellent purge or even FREE purge...

Some people said that leap is a gap closer so magdks have a Over Powered gap closer...
They completely ignored the fact that leap is an ultimate instead of spammable... Comparing an ultimate to spammable is in fact a prove of how weak the class is...
Again, ZOS, please allow me or other magdk players to swap classes with those who still complain that magdks are over powered. I'll pay you 20000 crown. Thanks.

... And there's the example @Brrrofski asked for. DK's basically can't use their DoTs against Templars, Wardens, or Necromancers.

I would also like to mention that Warden’s Shimmering Shield and its morphs is just old DK wings that also gives major heroism. Just some food for thought.
