Stam DK tips/guide for people rolling new ones
LiquidSchwartz
✭✭✭✭✭
Personally, my favorites are Dunmer (6% max magicka and stamina, fire damage) because of all the magicka needs for a DK
Best Races for stam:
-Imperial*
-Redguard
-Orc
-Dark Elf*
If you want to have HUGE damage but low recovery and defense you can go Khajiit.
*Imperial: Probably the best overall because you get max HP and stam
*Dark Elf: Not the best choice but the fire damage bonus on your abilities will go a long way especially with the fire passives.
The best way to make a stamina DK:
-All attributes into stamina
-5 medium 2 heavy (if undaunted 6+ run 1H 1L 5M for the 6% extra everything)
-2H and Bow for PvE/2H and Sword and Shield for PvP (but you can use bow in pvp as well)
Usually the 2h bar is a buff bar/ execute bar and you do the rest of your damage with your bow/s+s
Some of your abilities will morph to scale off of weapon damage and max stamina
Searing strike morphs to unstable flame and the flame breath has a morph that is a good AoE DoT that lowers their resistances.
Use volatile armor to gain resistance and reveal stealthed enemies
Use igneous shield to dump magicka back into your stamina bar (earthen heart passives)
Sadly, whip doesnt morph to stam.
Resolving vigor (assault pvp skill) will be your heal since dragon blood is poop, but use green dragon blood until you get it
If you have caltrops, use them too if you can fit it on your bar
other skills you can use:
silver bolts (underrated pvp move)
evil hunter (super crit)
reverberating bash (defile for vigor spams and templars)
invasion (great gap closer )
crit rush (high dmg gap closer)
executioner (this is how you finish a sorc before they shield stack
wrecking blow (spam this if theyre out of resources/ initiate with it)
YOUR MOST IMPORTANT MOVE IS DRAGON FIRE SCALE (reflective scale morph)
you can reflect any projectile (even comets until next patch) always keep this up vs any ranged
For ultimates:
You can use take flight (dragonleap morph)
Flawless dawnbreaker (fighters guild weapon damage morph)
Standard of might (18%extra damage and you take less dmg in it). Next patch you might want shifting standard because it will be cheaper
If you're having trouble staying alive, corrosive armor is AMAZING
caps damage at 3% of your max hp and does dmg to enemies near by and when they attack
For armor + weapon sets:
-4 shield breaker+4 morkuldin and 1 pc Blood spawn
-5 hunding+4 night mother (3 if running 2h and bow)
If you have maelstrom/master* weapons try running 1 pc blood spawn, 1 pc kena 5 hunding and a maelstrom 2h + bow
*master weapons aren't that good right now bc they are v14 but can still work
