FeaR Turbo · January 2016

Guys guys guys, Get those nasty Magicka DK outta here (:

Jking.

But really.

If you can make it through VMA on a couple toons and just do it for the weekly. grab those weapons.

This build is extremely easy.

I am currently a Redguard.

Rapid - DOT.

Priority DOT- Unstable, scorched earth, injection and rending.

Gear- 7 Medium or 5-1-1

5 Hunding armor. All Divines.

1 Kena - Divines

1 Bloodspawn Divines

3 Agility- all robust with weapon damage enchants. I use 1 healthy neck for certain situations.

1 Maelstorm Dagger and 1 Axe - precise

1 Maelstrom Bow - Precise

On short fights, You could use 2 Kena.

Notice in my video sustain is crazy.

And you can do well on most races.

CP:

I love editing Videos and playing Videos games. This is a hobby for me. Thought I would share it with you guys.

Any questions or suggestions just ask!

Good stuff as always Fear, however I have some minor suggestions to try out for next run.

I'd take some points out of Precise and put them into Elfborn+Ele expert since your crit pool isn't as high without precise weapons, and as a non Khajiit.

Since you're running Bloodspawn and Redguard atm, I'd shift some points out of Warlord and into Mooncalf, about 10-15 out of WL and into MC and you should see a resource management boost since you have higher regen.

Also if possible I'd definitely try out the Mephala's set for this build, since you're heavy weaving rapid strikes you'll get a massive up time on that 2 piece and get some nice damage out of it.

Finally, heard from some of the EU players using this setup that they've found that Igneous Weapons is inching out over Molten since you don't have to recast as much, and can spend more time dishing out more damage and is a more forgiving for errors in rotation.

Needs moar dots, nao!

Thanks Gil, Mundus OP ^_^

I have really good sustain. In the video. Never go below 70%. I am going to try 2Kena. I wasn't heavy attacking exclusively since I haven't practiced it. But I see the heavy attack won't crit at the moment. Still they get crazy numbers in EU. Where is your DK GiL!?! We started at the same time (:

I have no daggers, and vma has been far too cancerous lately. No point in finishing him until that terrible instance gets readjusted, if ever.

True game true. I full blasted some music. Used all my money. And grabbed all the power ups for ***. Did all toons just for the weekly. I got lucky. I got one last toon spot still haven't truly decided what I want it to be.

Thanks! It's pretty legit but the weapons are the tough part. The rest is money.
But so worth and really fun to play. Shooting star on trash pulls keeps resources up with casting caltrops and Rapids for trials.

They will not adjust it anymore, it kinda is fine as it is....if you are a magicka build. At least it is challenging for stamina...tho I havent been in there for 5weeks+...no point going there if I cant sell ANY of the mofo loot srsly.

I got my gear from that arena and now I do not bother with it anymore.

Like VDSA you make a mistake, it is your fault, and can reset. And still have fun with your friends. VMA is like money sink and sometimes its BS deaths. Can ruin your good run and now you can unmute yourself in ts and rage lel.

Its challenging and tight but the whole solo thing is kinda lame. Woulda been sick if it was 4-6 person IMO.

Just look forward to power ups in the new trial (KAPPA) (;

Forgot to put this in post. for people who were wondering

Great build. A well built Magica DK will pull the same numbers if not more.

You are right i was being silly (:

Rebel230 · January 2016

For those who don't have caltrops yet, can you suggest another aoe to use in the meantime? eruption maybe?

Also I was wondering if using evil hunter from FG and dropping flames of oblivion to grab an extra skill is worth it? on the secondary bar would be worth it? Or am I losing something I am not seeing?

Guys you may know Gilliam, He did some math behind Races for Stamina DK.

For pure PvE DPS stamina DK, Dunmer takes the cake with the current meta. Redguard doesn’t really have powerful passives in terms of raw damage, rather they have good passives for sustained resource management. The real issue though is that no fight utilizes these passives as the longest fight in game is HM Serpent, which many good groups are clearing in under 2:30 minutes, some under 2. The 7% flame damage is heavily utilized, especially since Unstable Flame and Scorched Earth are such big DPS contributions for stamina DK’s. Redguard is still a nice choice if you already have a toon, you’ll only really notice a 2-3% dps loss, but with the new coming trial apparently sustain/resource management is going to be a very big role.
I can do a really rough break down of it here. Dunmer; 7% flame damage, 9% max magicka, 6% stamina, and ~ 6% flame damage resistance Redguard; 10% stamina, 9% stamina regen, and melee hits return stam on a 5 second ICD. After comparing Dunmer has 7% flame damage, 9% magicka, and 6% fire resist while Redguard has 4% stamina, 9% regen, and stamina on hit.

Dunmer’s only real dps value is the 7% flame damage, which is applied to the following from the kit; Flames of Oblivion, Scorched Earth, Standard of Might, Burning, and Unstable Flame. Added all together these contribute roughly 40-45% of damage in single target scenarios (taken from FTC break downs I have access to and added all flame damage sources together and dividing by total damage). In AoE it would be a lot larger but for the sake of this lets keep it with the numbers we know. .45 x .07 is a 3.15% dps value. For Redguards we just have the 4% stamina that adds damage, the rest doesn’t have a real value since it doesn’t make you hit harder, just allows you to continue a parse, but there are many other ways to avoid the need of this passive in the current meta. 4% stamina at v16 in all legendary min maxed gear is worth about 1400 stamina, which equates to an average of 140 damage per ability, which means 140 dps is added. 140 dps to an average parse of 25k is a little over half a percent (.56%).

Once we contrast them side by side we have the following mathmatical wise Dunmer with a 2.59% raw dps advantage, 9% max magicka (fluff for casting self buffs such as Igneous Shield or Igneous Weapons), and ~6% fire damage mitigation Redguard with 9% stamina regeneration and the melee on hit to return stam on 5 second ICD. I don’t recall the scaling coefficient of that passive, but apparently it scales on max stamina, believe 3%, so with most endgame builds you run around 35000-37000 stam so you’re looking at roughly 1100 stam every 5 seconds. Most PvE DPS builds run with minimal stam regen which is ~900-1000 so 9% stam regen is 90 stam regen. Overall you’re trading raw damage and fire resistance for ~310 stamina regen every 2 seconds when you add both Redguard regen+stam on hit. To put that in perspective, most abilites with no cost reduction enchants and the current CP cap, cost about 1400 stam, so every ~9-10 seconds you’re gaining a free cast on an ability stam regen wise.

Based on this it would seem orc’s get more out of their 4% passive, but not everything in the kit is considered melee, and DoT effects do not count, which is almost all of the kit, so Orcs hardly have any synergy. However, IF Khajiit crit was fixed, you’d be looking at 8% critical chance. 8% crit chance can be found DPS wise by multiplying it by their Critical Hit Damage amp, which is ~ 1.8 (180% of base damage) so we take .08 x .8 (we remove the 1 since the 1 stands for base damage) and get 6.4% dps. This increases when you run trap beast and aggressive warhorn, upwards to a 10.16% dps value. However critical strike is a chance nature, so perfect math doesn’t really apply as chance is volatile in nature. Some parses you may get less crit chance out of 8% and some you might get more from it, because RNG. TL;DR If you want consistency and versatility go Dunmer (can go stam or magicka), if you want pure DPS go Khajiit (WHEN the passives get fixed, atm they are broken and not applying), if you want resource management go Redguard.

I would like to thank everyone for the support and wow i got 2.5k views on YT. Mundus and Deltia for supporting my video. Thanks again.

beamy93 · February 2016

Well another round of weekly rewards and I've still yet to receive a maelstrom inferno staff, so I'll definitely be rolling a stam dk with my collection of bows, daggers and axes.

Everyone's counting on you to keep this updated into thieves guild or else we'll have to roll our lame magic toons with no inferno staffs...

But really, amazing work. Definitely going to be trying this out with the maelstrom weapons.

Any idea what you'll be slotting instead of flames of oblivion after the update? And im sure you're doing testing on pts, but how does the new animations affect this build? Still thinking about going a full heavy attack weave?

There is alot to learn. I will get back with a build video. Most likely will be same as others cause the best is always the best. but like some things will be different. Like I always use Lightweight beat trap cause i can put it anywhere. So we will see. This toon is my fav by far. my khajit templar might make a come back tho we shall see

About the race. Kahjiit(if 8% crit works)>Dunmer>Orc>Imperial/Redguard for PURE PvE.

Many (prolly 70% of DKs) have a Dunmer Magicka DK, if you want to try out Stam DK do not be afraid, Dunmer is actually a really good choice!

As a Stam DK you do not really need resource management because you can always Heavy Attack Weave, which will result in most dps anyway.

Imperial city treasure vaults (monstrous tooth for rings and bloody claws for amulet), guild stores or (very, very rarely) from the last bosses in dungeons.
