NA PC BWB second attempt

Adenoma

I don't mind rerolling. I don't mind slow horses and now that I have more character slots it's easier to make a character and then park them at the stable for a bit. Otherwise, I really recommend grinding in a scaled zone with a high level friend so that they can speed things up and get their CP at the same time. You can get your levels pretty quickly that way.

I don't mingle with people outside of Cyrodiil... those peasant PVE'ers and their silly pledges

I did something yesterday that I thought I would ever do, I created an EP character.

So if you see "Ep Emily" that is me. I am not there to spy or help in any way. Just there for dueling purposes.

The first thing I did when I created the character was steal something on accident. I really think stealing, cheating and Lying is in EPs blood.

I'll mingle as needed if it just speeds things up! @vamp_emily , I hope you continue to reroll. Although it's easy to just run cookie cutter builds (2h/bow stamX), I think that nonvet has a lot more engaging and viable build directions and playstyles than vet PvP.

Adenoma,

I can only kill you so many times before I get bored. I have to move on some time ( just teasing )

Did you enjoy my dance at Ash

W0lf_z13

@Lumsdenml sorry man... ur not gonna like the new name :P lol "Ъrk Ϣºlf"

Adenoma

W0lf_z13

Stridig

W0lf_z13

I completed DSA with my vet MagDK the other night. I have figured out what works and what really doesn't. I will never be top notch but fun as hell to play.

Inferno + Restoration staff combo works very well for mDK (at least in BwB). With 5H / 2L you can easily hit over 25k resistances. Igneous Sheild is pretty key to survival.

I went with a heavy armor DOT build but I've seen a few light armor DD mDKs holding their own as well.

My Bars:

Inferno Staff: Burning Embers, Engulfing Flames, Burning Talons, Destructive Reach, Elemental Drain - Take Flight

Restoration Staff: Molten Armaments, Igneous Shield, Rapid Regeneration, Hardened Armor, Blessing of Restoration/Reflective Scales/Obsidian Shard - Standard of Might

I just recently unlocked Inferno / Inhale / Ash Cloud but haven't worked them in yet.

mDK is a ton of fun after a bruising learning experience. GL out there.

@mcurley yeah, i was running s&b/inferno... but just switched to dw/inferno... thinking of chaning to dw/resto though to test that.... i run 5h 2l as well ... just mainly trying to find the right armor combo that fits my playing style with him.. ive got theories, but need to test them lol

From what I have seen lately instead of testing your theories, you should be planning your funeral. R.I.P. ( ouch )

Out of curiosity, Does Take flight restore resources for a DK regardless if it hits or not? I dont think I ever paid attention.

Good question. I have always been under the impression that resources are given back upon activation. Will need to look into that.

W0lf_z13

Lol @vamp_emily .....never

It does restore resources even if the target dodges. Battle Roar goes off once the ability is successfully activated

I've never tried anything other than destro/resto since the heavy attacks are pretty key to sustaining my magicka. DW for extra damage will probably work fine.

I've used 5pc Spectre's Eye and 3pc Torug's Pact since lvl 20 and I absolutely love it. I'm too poor for low level Willpower, so I'm using random jewelery with 2 magicka recovery and 1 spell damage.

29k Health
30k Magicka / 1900ish recovery (if I remember correctly)
15k Stamina

GL testing out your theories. Nothing like trying to get a mDK to flow for you.

Destro/Resto mDK is awesome! I didnt play a dk for a long time bc nothing I tried flowed right. Until I realized what I wanted was more of a firemage dk and went with the 2 staff combo, fell in love lol! Now, its one of my favorite classes. You are correct, just gotta find the right flow.

Celestial_Rift

Speaking of builds... I am working on one currently that will hopefully be the most moronic/annoying thing in the world.

... it could also be potentially awesome.


BTW... that Dawnbreaker grind though.

Adenoma

We get by with a little help from our friends.

Now that song is stuck in my head ... thanks @Adenoma

Adenoma

Well, you knew I was trouble when you walked in. So shame on you now-ow.

Stridig

Lol

Kind of funny seeing AD lose 4 keeps to EP and pushed back to Bloodmayne and Roe only, just cause one of the clicky AD guild members are emp. Got most of their pop locked faction defending 1 emp keep while losing everything else >.>

Edit: And he just got dethroned anyway. Lol.

Not sure what you are getting at here. The exact same scenario plays out at the end of every emp. That's what happened when you emped on AD. It happened when I had emp. An entire faction turtling in the last emp keep is not an uncommon thing so I'm not sure what you are trying to say here.

But man, some great fights tonight.

Usually factions like to defend their 6 scrolls, gates, etc & not just 1 player's emp. Keeping 6 scrolls and the keeps near gate, home keeps, etc is more important than the emp bonus. The time before last time when I had emp (last time I wasn't online for it except for the first 10mins) I lost emp while defending Glade and we kept the 5 scrolls we had at Glade/Rayles/Warden and our home scrolls. They're worth more both in points, bonuses, and the faction's morale.

That is nothing... that actually makes sense given the circumstances.

Today was completely messed up. In the afternoon our zerg completely wiped DC off the map (DC 1 bar, AD 3 bars - nothing to be proud or ashamed of). Then, we take both scrolls and some dude drops it in the lava (not sure how this happened).
I spent a good 20 mins with a couple of other people fishing the scroll out the lava while improving my parkour skills - which was done by one guy logging out so another guy above can pick it up - rinse and repeat. When we finally get the freaking thing out, a troll runs with it and intentionally drops it into the lava.
Does anyone know who did this? ^

Then instead of pushing for emp (two EP keeps left to go at that point), people had a good number sieges up at Warden and were defending tri-keeps.
Later on, we lost BRK because EVERYONE was at freaking Bleakers. I was LITERALLY the only player defending BRK against a dozen EPs and asking for help on chat.

I mean, zergs will be zergs and do whatever they want. Just expected more from the groups that were pushing for emp. But maybe I'm just salty cause not a single knight in shining armor came to my rescue at BRK haha
