Hello! I am a VR5 DK DPS. Could someone please recommend me an AOE skill for PvE in the pledges?

Thank you!

    as a magicka DK you have plenty options,

    Burning Embers,
    Fiery Breath,
    Talons,
    Inhale,
    ash cloud...

    All of these are pretty good AOE's...

    The most used are Burning Embers and Fiery breath as they also have stamina morphs,

    I myself love my talons, ash cloud and inhale..

    What about stam DK? Or are we limited to the weapon skills? (still SMH at the limited number of DK stam abilities, but I press on)

    I have started to use Inhale recently and I have to say, it has made a huge difference on my DK when faced with Multiple mobs. I can even take GDB off my bar as long as I put Inhale on my rotation.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I've come to see Steel Tornado as such a cheeseball move. Any other options or just get over myself and embrace it?

    If you use a 2H dont overlook brawler. the dmg + bleed effect does pretty decent. if you combine it with caltrops you can take down some groups of adds pretty quickly

    i throw caltrops then try to tag all the adds with brawler and then go to town with single target dmg.

    if one or two of your guys die you can literally save the day by just spamming brawler and keeping your dmg shield up. it makes you dam near invincible lol

    People who put all their Attribute points into Stamina. This essentially makes them a Melee Build as most of the Dragon Knight skills are Magic based. But, they can use the crowd control skills of a DK to round out their build.

    I only use this as a Finisher. Zergs use it all the time.

    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.

    ^This. I'd also add in Rearming trap from fighter guild to get the minor force buff increasing your crit damage for 12s for either magic or stam as well. It's great for AOE.
