Stamia DPS DK.

BeanBagGamer

Hi Guys

Just looking for some advise or builds.

I have an VET 16 Imperial DK but cant seem to get weapon damage over about 2800 un-buffed. Critical is 65% and Stamina Recovery is about 1200.


Set up below..

Mundus Stone

The Warrior


Armour

5 Piece Hundings Rage

1 Piece Night Mothers Gaze

1 Piece Molag Kena

Health Enchantments on Large pieces and Stamina on Small, Mundus & Reinforced traits.


Weapons

Duel Wield - 2 Piece Night Mothers Gaze

2 Hand - 1 Piece Night Mothers Gaze

Restore Stamina Enchantments on all Weapons with Precise Trait.


Jewellery

3 Piece Agility Set

Stamina Recovery Enchantment on all.


All armour and Weapons are currently VET 15 and all Purple. Agility Set is VET 16.

I have played around swapping in a 2 Piece Morag Tong which does put the weapon damage up a bit higher but not enough to justify the lose in critical.




Any advice on how to improve the weapon damage, critical and stamina recovery would be great!


Thanks

Make your weapons gold, a vet 15 purple sword is around 1100 damage, a gold vr16 is 1350, which is a huge jump.

What are you dual wielding? Use swords for more base damage or mace for more penetration, don't need much about 50% crit, maybe 60 tops as you're giving up dps, especially since in pvp since crits are alot less effective

You can't improve all 3 of your requests, you're crit is already higher than recommended, the more crit you have. The more damage you're giving up.

Okay maybe I will look at replacing Night Mothers gaze with Morag Tong, run agility weapons and drop duel wield for a bow.

I'll make my weapons Yellow tonight.


What's a good stamina recovery level?

zornyan

As a dk probably around 1500 minimum, I run 1100 on my templar BUT repentance is a constant stamina supply in pve so I never run out,

Or a Redguard can run far less as the adrenline rush passive gives large stamina regeneration.

BeanBagGamer

I'll see what I can do about my recovery then. Not sure what else I can do to put it up. Have all champion points in recovery and recovery on all jewellery.


Any Ideas?

Current meta is max stamina and not stam regen...check out Deltias Gaming Burning Butcher build...its a build that he did like 2-3days ago..its a stamina DK dps....it has a few things i dont agree with but generally its a great build

p.s. earthen heart, battle roar etc

BeanBagGamer

I'll check it out. thanks

I'm not sure about max stamina, I get that for Tanks now but DPS, Not going to work as well.

More stamina means more dmg, and ress managment on DK comes from alot of passives..

I run 35k stam; 3200 Wp damage, 54% crit and 900 stam recovery unbuffed on dk. Bear in mind this is for pve and I run molten weapons while alternating heavy attacks and wb while keeping up rally caltrops and unstable flame. Every time I cast molten weapons I get back 2k stam and heavy attacks restore stamina too. Weaving in heavy attacks also means I get to use my ultimate more often for battle roar passive. Never had a problem with stam recovery as a dk. Use the earthen heart Passives well instead of wasting jewellery enchants. For pve buffed I have 40k stam with ard 3.9k weapon damage. Pvp I use drinks for a bit more recovery.

To add on, one of the dks defining aspects as a class is the massive regen they get from battle roar and the stam regen passive they get from casting earthen heart skills. Helping hands gives u minor buffs for using earthen heart tree skills. All of these scale off your maximum stat pool. Use this to your advantage. If you focus too much on stam regen instead of the available class Passives your going to gimp yourself imo.

Run dagger + mace. Dual swords does not work the way it's supposed to, and will probably never get fixed from the looks of it.

BeanBagGamer

Okay thanks guys I'll try some of these suggestions tonight and see what I like.

One last question, all medium or 2 piece heavy?

Vangy

I use 5m/1h/1L for the undaunted passive. Gives u 6% max stats which is OP for a dk. We like max stat pools.

Change your armor to all divines. Get at bare minimum a v16 weapon. 5 hundings 3 ashen 3 agility.
