Dk dps tips for New vet.

Jaigo

Hello folks

I just reached vet rank 1.
Since we have a friend based group
We al have our roles planned.
I started off planning to tank and made an Nord DK because I wanted too

Now my role will be dps
So race choice is suboptimal but reroll is a no go for me.
That said

I am lost on how to best test my dps
There are loads of builds and info
Outdated or currently being written
I just do not know what to make of it

So anyone can aid me? ?

I want to use 2hnd and if possible the dk class abilities
Can CC stam rotation be combined with magic. I have not read much hybride builds
I focus on PVE.

I do use medium armour Since I read the passives

You should have Scrolling Combat Text now, so turn that on in Game Play options. Then, go find a Giant or a Mammoth and try different things noting your damage output. Initially, you are more concerned with what each attack does, then you can figure out a rotation to get the most out of the skills (using a skill that buffs something else for instance)

As for Builds, there are the Flavor the the Month (FoTM), the builds that Min/Maxers use, the builds that Streamers use, the builds that everyone else uses. They are all different and what works for some may not work for you, or what works for you may not work for others.

If your looking to maximize DPS above all else, that is one thing. If your looking to be successful at the content you do, that is something else, usually. Note, Trials for Leaderboard times and 1vx PvP will need more DPS than not. But for all other content, your much more flexible.

Now, that being said, look at various build sites, like Deltia's. Not so much for following the exact builds they do, but more for looking at how skills and gear synergize for better output. I don't follow the builds out there, but I do take influence from them on my rotations to get the most efficiency in combat. By efficient, I mean I kill the mobs and have resources left over for the next group of mobs with little or no regen. Others can define this differently, even up to, the most DPS possible, period.

Good points
Thank you for your reply.

My purpose is to do dungeons with my friends.
We are all vet lvl 1 or 2.
I want to deal a fair amount of dmg but be able to stay alive if I get a few hits.

I went for 2hnd and stam build.
With resetting my skills I took a look at morphs I did not thought about too long when lvling.
Flame breath and searing strike can be morphed to use stamina. So I keep having some flame attacks.

What bugs me the most now is not seeing how buffs stack
Nor having a timer display that shows when the run out. It messes up my rotation and control.

Also an overview of how much dps I do would be nice.
The dmg txt is a good option now.
But still limited.

I will focus on getting some gear before worrying too much about the builds
