The reason why MagDK’s are silent again...

Coagulating blood isn’t affected by Major Defile AND Minor defile.

Not asking for a nuke it to the ground nerf, but tweak it to where it doesn’t ignore a healing debuff. I got on my magdk and tested this without Heartland Powered Sword. With or without a powered trait, it still ignores healing debuffs.

Non Bomber Magblades are crying in a corner somewhere.

    Interesting, you checked other heals as well? Casted by other classes? It sounds very too specific.

    While I think most MagDK are not even aware of this bug, DKS are far from being silent. Most my class needs a buff threads and Nerf this class or skill threads, are made by DK players, from what I can remember.

    I have toons for all classes, although I don’t play on my magdk that much. Most of them are just pack toons. I’m not sure what’s going on with Magdk healing but it is super strong at the moment. Is it a bug? Maybe. The warden lifesteal bug was definitely a problem (still is I think).

    I only did 1 test. I had 2 friends on an enemy faction. 1 guy launched a meat bag on me, the other 1 swiped me with Claws of Anguish. Just to make sure I have Major and Minor Defile statuses. Lo and Behold! The strongest burst heal I have ever seen.

    This brings back memories of where certain builds could stand in oils...that was many many years ago..

    PLAYERS PLAYING MODEL MINORITY CLASS MUST REMAIN AS PUNCHBAGS BECAUSE THEY ARE IRRELEVANT MOST OF THE TIMES AND SOMETIMES TOO NOISY!

    If its bugged it needs to be fixed.

    That being said its not like all MagDK players knew about it and stayed quiet.
    MagDKs complained about delayed damage, burst and/or sustain.

    Silent? My friend you must not be looking at the DK themed threads.

    We're not silent about the performance of our class right now.

    Cries in DK

    How dare you?!?! I was convinced that DKs were the most feared class in pvp....you are breaking my heart!! 😂😂😂

    On a serious note....DKs are in a very sorry state and don’t be fooled by the odd rumour. There are definitely some good DKs out there but it says more about the player than the class.

    It is in a terrible condition.

    Currently, only where DK somehow works is Cyro.

    Magically, I can draw quite high dps on PVE, but stamina ... just crying.

    I love DK as a class and has been my main since 2016. But he stands far behind the others at the moment.

    (in fact I play it on Cyro just because he has the fastest horse)
    - Where "Update on Cyrodiil Performance & Upcoming AOE Tests"? I wish ZOS would stop kicking players' balls, especially those on Cyro

    Indeed, most of the haters keep pointing at Fossilize and Leap, and I can understand why. If you're not blocking Leap hurts and will knock you out, and Fossilize negates blocking and dodge rolling meaning you have to stay cognisant about your stamina in order to stay in the fight. Outside those two abilities the class is in a pretty bad spot when it comes to dealing burst damage for the mag class, sustained DPS as Stam, providing support as a healer a tank DK wouldn't have, sustain being too reliant on dice rolls with status effects, and having all the damage we do have being purgeable. :disappointed:

    On a bright side.

    In BG, try Thunderbug/Overwhelming/Grothdar with fosilize/leap and enjoy NB killing :)

    Outside of fighting a Stamcro where are you even getting hit by major defile anymore to make healing strong on MagDK. And where are you seeing non bomber magblades lol?

    DK needs some serious buffs

    The few times I played MagDK recently I didn't notice because damage is high and when 5 people are beating your ass you're probably dying anyway, defile or no.

    Do people still wear cyrodiil's Ward? Other than that set.. dks shifting standard or werewolf swipe attack applies major defile, that's all I can think of.

    I put a troll build together that runs duroks and fassala. You ain't healing through that. Major and minor defile up almost constantly.

    DKs in higher-end BGs are dangerous. The unblockable stun + root is terrific.

    DKs have one of the 2 strongest class ultimates in Leap (with Necro's Goliath being the other).

    so an ultimate that doesn’t work in lag, has longer animation, and can be easily negated by streak is one of the two strongest ultimates.

    LOL
