This is how i make my builds and then i proceed too test them. I felt that i should share this for new people. By no means dose this make the "best" dps but it dose help make viable endgame dps so that you can enjoy playing with your friends!

Please Note the Example Answers that i have given are just examples not the "must" have ability's too achieve the goal. It's just one of the many ways too achieve it. Its the Questions that i ask myself that are. I build my toons so that when fixes for current imbalances go into play I will not have too adjust my toons build. Also I do not believe that dps was originally supposed too achieve no more then 600 dps at max. As of right now the average dps of a average player that is playing how they want is between 300-450 which I believe is intended over all. Magic builds are over tuned and stamina builds need too be made easier too manage, however just because you are a magic damage build with melee weapons dose not mean you should use medium amour it means you should use light because your utility is coming from your weapons not magic.

hm not sure if this is any helpful..
the things u like to play may not really be the best choice.
there are good and bad choices though, so some of your self given answers may not work.

to the current patch stage its pretty much recommanded to play something that is strong and not something u want to play at all costs.

im not talking about your answers u gave yourself.
im talking about that the answers anyone would give himself to this questions might just not work.
like all stamina builds are by far too underpowered to be viable.
wanting to play them doesnt change the fact sadly..

if u want a ruling and effective build. like all answer go to magicka build.
everything else might fit better to your personal wishes - but wont bring u fun in the end.

the game is not balanced enough so far for those common questions.


just a simple example..
i would answer the questions on my dk on playing a 2hand/dual wield stamina based build.
i tried :-) didnt work at all.
so now i play a full magicka resto-destro staff build and im like 500times stronger.
even though i would answer your questions in a totally different way

Oh I'm sorry I misunderstood, however balance is coming. I do not believe that dps was originally supposed too achieve no more then 600 dps at max. As of right now the average dps of a average player that is playing how they want is between 300-450 which I believe is intended over all.
