Yesterday I complained about the DK nerf in 1.6 (thread was closed). With the changes in light armor - sustainability is now gone. Still, I would have no reason to QQ if we had some sort of escape.

HOWEVER, after extensive theory crafting with a few of my DK buds, we have come up with a super OP DK build!!! (includes an escape!)

Step one is to fill all of your attributes into Health. Then focus all of your skill points into crafting, because that is all DK's will be good for once 1.6 goes live.

AND, if by some chance you happen to accidentally enter Cyrodiil and get into a situation with either of the two classes everyone will be playing (Templar/Sorc), simply use your go to DK escape!! (ALT+F4)

DK's enjoy your build while you can!! See you all at the crafting tables after 1.6!

    Remember you have to type DELETE without spelling mistakes to get rid of your DK.
    You're welcome. :)

    I'm not worried about my DK post 1.6

    Unstable flame scales off stamina now, so I will have to switch to the Burning Ember one. So my dps will go down a bit, but I'm ok with that. I'm magicka based of course.

    I don't see why DKs won't still be effective in PVP. Reflective scale still blocks 4 projectiles and GDB remains unchanged. In fact you could argue that the change to unstable flame and a couple other skills (using stamina) have buffed them a bit.

    Don't know how often I've been saying this right now, but DK can be so OP, nothing has changed.

    But somehow, people have problems with playing them now. In 1.5, they were the way to go and most people could play their mainstream DK build and would kill EVERYTHING in PvE and PvP.

    Now, you have to use a wider range of abilities and have to think a bit. There are invinceable DK builds. I was telling a friend, how to 100% kill each Sorc. As soon as he learned it, he agreed, that DK is op in 1.6 (only a bit different compared to 1.5)
    Auri-El is my lord,
    Trinimac is my shield,
    Magnus is my mind.

    I'd give you an Oscar for that performance but Kanye might throw a tantrum.

    Honestly, I didnt read a nerf on DK - you now take less fire damage? yea right.
    - Otherwise this post is just garbage without you stating exactly what was nerfed and why you didnt like it.

    light armor =/= sustainability in any other game ever except this one pre 1.6.

    You SHOULDN'T be sustainable with a piece of cloth covering you, just shouldn't.

    Want sustain? Wear plate armor and be slow.

    Want Damage? Wear a robe and be freeeeeeeeeeeeee.

    Want a bit of both? Medium armor, like boxer briefs. Snug enough to comfort, roomy enough for the boys to breath.

    my .02.
    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.

    Was on the PTS and with my new DK stamina build I was getting 16k wrecking blows, 3k+ engulfing flames. DK's are fine 1.6. The meta has changed and it's now time to adapt. LA DKs should have never had the sustain that we have seen since launch. The LA passives have always trumped all other armor classes

    Please stop the QQ post. Why dont you actually try a Heavy or Medium Armor build on the PTS. Light Armor should never have been as strong as it was defensive wise. The Armors actually seem to be balanced now.

    Escape?... you will have to actually make a smart decision now because you cant run in like Superman on a DK and still survive.

    Oh dear, someone used to sitting atop the pile without effort feels vulnerable after much needed re balancing.

    That is utter BS. DK will remain the strongest in almost all categories. You and your DK Buddies doesnt seem to understand the class. Spend your points, choose your gear, sort your skills out wisely. A good DK will still consume the Souls of their enemies pretty easy. well, they need to work a tiny bit more. But most ppl should be able to handle that ;)

    Ahh well, they still do, even in LA. With magicka i get damn heavy attacks for 16k lawlz
