Console player here, i used to be a magicka DK but since last update i became stamina because i feel magicka is useless now. With the damage reduction my whip wasnt doing much damage anymore, green dragons blood became useless in pvp, talons are blockable, the magicka DK lacks a gap closer but the worse part is noy having a good finisher.

I really miss the flame lash, the talons and most of all the reflective scales. I only use three DK skills in my current build... hopefully console players will experience the power of magicka DK like pc players had before the updates.

If you're trying to be a tank stam would be ideal, especially if your imperial.
Magic is mostly dps and it isn't useless just have to work around the patch

Mag DK is neutered, you can still tank well with one in a group but solo Mag DK is extinct.

That is not true, just dont go swordnboard.

Tanky DKs and OP dmg is just no more, adapt and use Destro/Resto or DW/Resto

sure solo magicka dk is doable, but you'll be mathematically unable to break through the healing wards of any geared minmaxed opponent, and it's pretty challenging managing stamina with multiple opponents spamming CC at you (i'm using arena 5pc on my magblade to counter this atm)

meanwhile stam dk can attain an OP combination of mitigation, self healing, and burst damage... the other day i did a 25k wrecking leap 2hit instakill on some poor pve tank, and i'm not sure how i feel about that

Not saying DK tanks aren't good, I miss my stam DK currently working to get him up, but since I'm dark elf, it's more ideal for me to be magic, and magic DKs aren't extinct. I fight a lot of tank DKs and I guess they're messing up on their CP or items or something because most of the time they die.
(Build it correctly then they're OP. But if not done correctly you're just a target that the smart players will ignore)

My magic DK hits like a kitten now in pvp.

Either are great, stam obviously a bit better, though I still run a magicka dk in pvp but its different than before. Solo in Imperial city I run dual wield/resto. Open world I still use sword and board resto. In groups s/b destro. It can work it's just much harder, but a fun challenge:).

Honestly that's like picking between two turd sandwiches just because one comes with extra turd and the other comes with a few after dinner mints. Just order an actual sandwich, real sandwiches don't leave a bad taste in your mouth.
