How can I sustain my NB Dps

kylewwefan

This is a Pve question. I don't have Vigor yet, but I have questions about that also. The refreshing path doesn't seem to heal as much I need for bigger fights. Now, I'm DW and 2H . I'm considering swapping a Resto staff for DW. I have about 250 CP

I watched another guildy DK come in and solo a boss fight that another NB friend and myself couldn't take down. She healed herself with vigor and green dragon blood through the fight. I'm a bit envious and jelly. I don't know what kind of heals dragon blood puts out? Anyways, it is apparent I need some kind of heals on my bar. The siphoning attacks or sap essence give me stamina back, but I have no good heals? What can I do til I get vigor? Is vigor that good?

Would crafting a gear set with exploration on it, running through cyrodil help level assault skill line up faster for to get vigor and caltrops. Now it's moving at a painfully slow pace.

Firstly, dont use resto on stamina build. Without magcika and spell damage its heals will be laughable, and if you put some points in it, you will gimp your dps and the heals will still be mediocre at best.
Secondly, there's a skill in 2 handed skill line, Momentum. Morph it to Rally, that's a pretty good heal and it buffs your dmg by 20%.
Yeah, Vigor is good and certainly worth grinding if youre going to try Maelstorm arena or pvp. But for solo pve/world bosses Rally should be enough.
Also, as a nb you can use reapers mark for aoe encounters (when soloing). It heals you when you kill marked mob.

P.S. Exploration is one of the worst traits in game, and only worth it for low lvl chars (and even them training is better). It doesnt affect your ap gains as well, it only works for exp gains from discovering locations.
You can get 20% ap buff for 1 hour if you kill any boss in Cyrodiil delve though.

Thanks for the tips! I knew it was reaching on the exploration set, but is going very slow. Thanks for setting me straight on the Resto staff as well.
i have rally, it just doesn't seem to heal that much. Or only heals on light and heavy attack. Same with siphoning strikes. I'm not getting any effect from those using abilities. Wrecking blow and steel tornado.weaving the attacks in doesn't seem to be enough.
I find myself in trouble on any fight that lasts longer than 30 seconds.

Umm, no, rally should heal you every 2 seconds and there's a big heal at the end or when you're recasting it.
