Easy 2K Stam build for Dragonknights

I posted this in another thread, but for those seeking to get away from Stick & Skirt, I'll repost it by itself, and then hopefully we'll see more steel tornadoes whirling around in Trials :grinning:

I've broken 2K dps using my dual wield dunmer DK, and it's a relatively cheap build that most people can attain quite easily :smile:

VR14 Dunmer Werewolf (+15% Stamina Regen for WW)
All Medium Armour / Legendary
Single Target set is 5 Piece hundings (Helm, Chest, Shoulders, Boots, Belt), 5 Piece Viper (Neck, daggers x2, Pants and Gloves)
Divines on Small Pieces (Shadow Stone), Infused on Large Pieces.
Rings are Two-Fanged Snake x2

Legendary Glyphs of stamina on all infused pieces, Epic glyphs of stamina on the small pieces.

Jewelry enchants are 2x +18 Stamina Recovery, and 1x +630 Armour (Reduce physical harm). Just to reduce squishyness a bit. Novas make some red circles near impossible to see!

You can quite happily substitute the Viper set for Night mothers four piece if you can't afford the Viper (Can be expensive to buy). You'll lose 92 Stamina at legendary, and gain 4% spell crit. Both are negligible.

Single Target Bar:
1. Green Dragons Blood
2. Blood Craze
3. Flames of Oblivion (Inferno Morph)
4. Rapid Strikes
5. Spell Symmetry to keep Flames of Oblivion up at all times (+13% Crit).
Ultimate: Standard of Might

My off bar is similar, and the Daggers are 2 Piece Night mothers:
1. Green Dragons Blood
2. Extended Chains
3. Flames of Oblivion
4. Igneous Weapons (I use my bow for certain fights. Terrible DPS, but VA /LA Weave
5. Steel Tornado (Amazing AoE + Execute)
Ultimate: Werewolf Berserker (For Ultimate Generation)

Rotation is so easy, anyone can do it.
For single target, Flames of Oblivion should be on at all times. Use Igneous weapons before the fight - there'll be someone keeping it up most fights.
Open with Standard and a Panacea of weapon power. Blood craze (Use Foundry Tactical Combat or similar so you can time it), and then just rapid strikes. Use Green dragons blood at about 70% stamina to keep your pool up, and Spell sym occasionally to keep Flames of Oblivion up (Warn your healer via teamspeak. Don't be standing in a wisp-mother circle when you do it in AA for example. Use your brain :stuck_out_tongue: )

For Aoe, it's really not that hard. Green dragons blood, weapon potion, and then run in and press Steel Tornado until everything is dead. For long AoE fights like the serpent trash, you'll be taking enough damage as a werewolf to have a standard up every seven or so seconds, and that gives you a heap of magicka / stamina back. Refresh potion when available.

And that's literally it. You can use evil hunter on the Stone Atronach in AA if you feel the need, but I rarely bother.

If you need clarification, my in game name is the same as my forum name, or in my signature.

Hope this helps someone :grinning:

Screenshot for proof - I'm offline because I was spamming my parse in officer chat to RyuujinV (Who screencapped it for me :relaxed: ), and it kicked me for spamming the server, lol

    Oh, one thing I forgot to mention, was I use Blue Food, Enriched Honey Brittle.

    Attribute points are 0-49-13

    Unbuffed numbers are:
    1269 Magicka
    2365 Health
    2275 Stamina

    97 Spell damage
    15% Spell Critical
    1690 Spell Resistance

    68 Magica Recover (Flames of Oblivion negates this to Zero, so don't worry)
    38 Health Recovery
    139 Stamina Recovery (Before green dragons blood, or Templar refreshing Aura)

    231 Weapon Damage (Before igneous weapons)
    62% Weapon Critical (Using PvP Buffs, so 54% Naked)
    2100 Armour

    no flawless dawnbreaker on single target bar? if you had 2k dps that would buff it to 2.2k dps alone....

    stam DPS is wonderful, built right can hold high DPS with minimal effort at only the expense of utility from lower ult gains.

    Nice! As a Dunmer you have 7% fire damage, how do you think this build would work for a Nord? I was using dual wield and bow all the way up to V14 but after 1.5 patch and the points respec switched to staves. Thanks!

    There's minimal damage actually coming from Flames of Oblivion, it's more about the +13% crit - so would work fine as a nord I would imagine :grinning:

    Between 1.2-1.4k. Which is fairly inline with the stick & skirts in a sustained fight (Obviously we have them in our group as well :wink: )

    I've not seen any class / build pull 2K sustained over a mage or serpent fight..

    I'll get you a parse next time :smile:

    I'll do a run with Flawless Dawnbreaker next time, Might work better on a longer fight.

    And yeah, the only thing stam builds are lacking currently is Ultimate generation. If & When that gets buffed, we'll actually be inline with the dresses. Which will be nice :smiley:
