    theres so much things wrong with Dks right now its not even funny, to say "they should be nerfed a little bit" is ridiculous because they got nerfed so hard.
    seriously L2P.

    lol this is coming from a nb. DK does NOT need a nerf. poor *** hit like wet noodles. the only thing they got going for them is that they can last alittle while. but they cant get away and they cant kill anything. they need some way to escape or something.

    I have played DK since beta. It is actually the ONLY VR toon I have. I am rank 25 in Cyrodiil if that tells you anything. I am also Undaunted Rank 9 so I have put a decent amount of time into PvE as well.

    That being said, unless you go Vamp, you have ZERO ways to flee. So, building to our strength of being inherently tanky... one must put on heavy armor, 5 pieces is my recommendation… even though Sorcs and NB’s have their easymode escape ability, I prefer the playstyle of a DK. Stand and fight!!! Don’t be a sissy and run.

    I do find it funny to be on the front lines and seeing a mob of people try to kill me… only to have my organized group come in behind me and smoke all those fools that dropped all of their ultimate’s on me only to get squished and then I get to walk away perfectly fine. Hahaha… but sadly, this doesn’t happen as often as I would like it to. In the end, the majority of the time that I die is because of a zerg… 10+ people all wailing on me. My satisfaction is just seeing how long I can survive…

    I would love it if the DK tank had it so that our spell damage/weapon damage was increased at a decent level according to the number of chumps beating on us. How fun would it be to have our damage increased only to be able to return the favor to those little zerglings running around.
    The big downside in tanky DKs is that, due to lack lack of DPS, you end up killing zero zerg members and dying in the end.

    At least with a high DPS build, you might kill someone before being taken out.

    This is why I play a medium armor DK, still tanky because of abilities (your physical and spell resistance gets mega nerfed in cyro ANYWAY, so there is really no point to have heavy armor on ) So at least I have a much higher crit rate, am more mobile, have higher dps and can sustain much better.

    I'm confused. In the subject title op wants DKs nerfed but in the OP he wants them nurfed. Maybe it was a typo and we wants them smurfed. Well I can tell you right now OP, we have already been smurfed. Every freaking update they smurf us, and it doesn't take brainy smurf to see that either. We hit like smurfette now, we have been smurfed enough.

    Dude, do you even ESO?

    I dont play a DK, Ive tried, just cant do it... not my play style. However, you must be smokin crack if you think they need a nerf.

    Honestly, you "nerf all the world" people need to chill out. Stop asking for nerfs bc you cant handle something. If I make a mistake, its my own dumb ass fault. Not the DK tanking...not the NB in his cloak... not the Sorc streakin around like a mad man or the Temp I cant kill bc hes healing too much. It means I need to up my game. Buff yourself, debuff them, figure out what it was you did wrong in the situation. Do something other than come to the forum and ask for nerfs.

    When I fought a magicka sorc on a magicka templar, we ended up in a draw.

    So I should conclude that both are too tanky and shall be NERFED.

    Since I end up in a draw when my magicka DK fights another one, I shall conclude that magicka DK must be NERFED.

    Since 2 guys using Sword n' board speccing tank usually end up in draw, I shall conclude that Sword n' board must be NERFED. And since both of these guys were stam DKs, they shall be NERFED for good measure.

    Since someone dies when a stam NB comes into play, they should probably be buffed tho.

    This, completey agree, so much whining and crying on forums just cos some whiner cant handle stuff, then they cry for nerfs.

    Adapt nerf callers, nerf you lot instead.
    Why should everyone else suffer cos you cant L2P.

    DK needs buff - Not nerf. I have seen first hand how they got screwed over. I have orphaned my own DK for a templar for god sakes. I have seen my boyfriend's DK go thru so many changes with each small patch just to keep it somewhat viable in PVP. It's ridiculous - Stop going on about Nerf'ing them or I'll log onto mine and slap you with my floppy noodle boy.

    You need your whinging chip nerfed mate.

    Hard to kill? Do you even tryed to kill a good (even not so good lol) sorc? Ah sorry - it's waste of time (well, shieldbreaker can help but if you're magicka user - you MAYBE manage to kill REALLY bad sorc).

    I think too tanky might be an understatement here, a lot of times DKs are almost impossible to kill in 1 vs 1 duel! Even DKs are frustrated by the fact that they simply cannot kill another DK 1 on 1 after a loooooong fight. I think ZOS should do something to nurf DKs a little bit, at least to make them less god like??

    This is the reason the game is terrible. ZOS listens to people like this and implements garbage which has ruined PVP.
