How significant would building DS be on a DPS build of a DK Nord?
Thanks,

Attention Zenimax: Stamina builds don't hold up to magicka builds, and this is causing most of your class imbalance. It makes melee weapons and bows weaker than staves and class abilities. It makes medium and heavy armor less desirable than light armor. Fix this imbalance, and you'll address most of your balance issues.

OK I guess everyone's taking this as a joke now that I replied the way I did. Should I just spell everything out or can someone actually answer this?

I don't think you're optimizing for a DPS DK as a Nord, TBH.
Since you aren't a Dunmer, you might consider using the Resto staff for its passives - for the DoT-stacking, whip-spamming route. Which will become more feasible in 1.2, since the passive slotted whip bonus will only affect Ardent Flame, and not Destrostaff skills.
To be honest, I didn't quite parse it (running Dunmer Destro Firestaff myself), but I imagine Restostaff Siphon spirit will mitigate the loss of Elemental Drain. There were builds like that listed on the Foundry, and they seemed pretty popular.

I got a pretty nice build going, but i'm afraid that its something i'd not face 1v1 myself, so i'm not going to share it. But yes, stamina is crap and i only use it for blocking and charging. Magicka and magicka spells is where its at.
