1.6 DPS Attributes/Build

Paulhewhewria

I know 1.6 just came out,but was wondering if anyone had an idea about this.Anyone know around how much health and also stamina(if anyone knows) a v14 dps maybe should have?
This character is mainly looking to do endgame PVE.
Also on a side note if anyone has any DPS-Stamina DK PVE builds please share it would really help me.

Class:DK-Stamina
Race:IMPERIAL
Other:WEREWOLF

from what im seeing it seems you wanna shoot for around 18k hp, 25k+ magicka and nothing extra into stam for a magicka user. All my dps testing has been done on a DK and Templar mind you. As for stamina DK.... please don't do it. Magicka Dks are so awesome. so much fun. don't ruin it by going stamina lol. save that for a sorc/temp/nb.

Im honestly a little worried 18k health is a bit low. Ive done AA/vet dungeons/normal dsa on the pts and a few bosses scared me with only 18k health. but honestly its so hard to get any more than that without sacrificing dps. I ran vet EH a few times for example. Bogdan hard mode hit for about 17k with his big jump slam that he does. I don't know if that was without blocking or through block. On the pts, stamina cost for blocking was very bad and WAY too high so I don't know if I had block up.

Im going to shoot for 18k health, 25k+ magicka, and base stamina at first and tweak from there once my guild does a Sanctum test run.

Why no stamina DK ?

Paulhewhewria

I asked around my guilds some were saying 25k for health that seems a bit high to me I was thinking 20k,but I don't know end game pve to save my life lol. In all honesty I just want to run vet dungeons and not suck.As for the stamina or magicka build I'm leaning towards stamina due to me not liking light armor(which may sound redundant).

Stam DK is perfectly fine, especially on fights like the Serpent where you have to dump all your magicka quickly.

GDB GDB GDB ~ +40% back.

Been a dual wield stam DK for months, and love it. Probably because my latency doesn't allow weaving, but I still out-do a lot of magicka builds, and have fun doing it.

Going to try greatsword when this bloody patch finishes downloading

I think he's basing the no Magicka belief on how the game was last July, where Stamina was not competitive for the most part.

Considering how many moves from each class, aside from Sorc, have changed to Stam based, I say go for it. They've made lots of changes to Stamina builds this past year, but the move switch perfects it.

31k health. The rest in stamina or magicka.

This not even close to DPS build...

How the hell you get 31k and have enough for dps?!?

seanvwolf

I can get 31k health and 31k stamina easily with my DPS build. Sure you aren't doing something wrong?

You can do this by using infused stamina glyphs on medium armor sets designed to also have set bonuses to stamina, then you put all your points into health, wear jewelry with stamina boosts and slot skills which boost your health passively (i have one on my bar that gives me 8% to max health) then take consume end-game foods. If you happen to have PvP bonuses, it will be even higher. Please factor CP into the equation and you will see what I am getting at.

Guess I must be...seanvwolf if you could go in to more detail about your setup?

So any other suggestions?
