    Cool idea, but if anything DL should have a fire damage morph, not magic IMO.

    Personally, I'm not all that butt-hurt over DB of Smiting being physical now. I used it extensively on my magDK prior to the change, and ofc like everyone else I am sad to see it change for that reason. But, I also understand (or believe I do) why it was changed and it does provide a great deal of value and utility to my stam characters.

    Setting that aside, the need for a low-cost magic-damage ult is growing more pronounced. There really aren't many options for a magDK, with one ult being very high cost, one scaling with physical damage, and one being completely defensive and the damage component of it being almost entirely negligible, in addition to being high-cost anyway.

    To me it seems that the easiest way to fix this is to change Dragon Leap so that at least one morph is magic damage. I would nominate Ferocious Leap for this, simply because the shield component, at least in my opinion, is better-suited for those with lower armor ratings. The shield itself is pretty weak and lasts only for a few seconds, but that's a topic for another discussion. At least if it did magic damage it would cater to magicka side of the class to some degree.

    On a side note, a DK hybrid using Pelinel's effectively eliminates this issue. I emphasize "when done properly," but assuming that's the case, having equitable WD and SD means the ability to use any ultimate, including Dragon Leap and Dawnbreaker, even if the build leans toward magicka in terms of skills, primary resource pool, etc.

    Sadly I hope they completely revamp dragon leap :/ it just doesn't work if there's any lag (which is all the time)
    Invictus
    Kilandros - Dragonknight / Grand Overlord
    Deimos - Templar / Grand Warlord
    Sias - Sorcerer / Prefect
    Short answer is DKs likely won't be seeing a ton of changes before we go live; this class is still quite powerful (as it should be being a tank), even after some of the adjustments we've made to other classes and abilities.

    DK IS NOT JUST A TANK CLASS. #PLAYTHEWAYYOUWANT

    Rather, they need to make Dawnbreaker of Smiting magical dmg and proceed with changing unmorphed Dawnbreaker and Flawless Dawnbreaker to physical dmg (since stam builds will all run Flawless for the passive damage buff).

    Incorrect. Meteor has no physical damage morph, and the mage's guild is geared for magicka. Meteor is still the strongest ultimate in the game. You magicka users keep your selfish fingers away from our Dawnbreaker!

    I logged onto my Magicka toon last night, and yeah I would have to agree with Strider here. I 2-3? shooted a guy procing Kena/ Spectral Bow proc, Shooting Star, the first DoT tick of SS and he turned into a pile of ash. The guy I killed was Alliance Rank 40.

    I would say Meteor/Morphs are still in a great spot right now.

    There is 4 way to take a meteor full damage :smile:


    -Being a noob
    -Being out of stamina
    -Being agaisnt magicka dk
    -Being near a people target (being not carefull).

    There is 2 ways to escape DBOS :

    -Being a noob and use it when ennemi is not in front of you.
    -Being lucky and block just at the moment (never happended cuz DBOS from good player is totaly invisible).

    When you run a 3dps pledge run, you can often count on one person wanting to charge in with leap if they're a 2h stam dk used to doing pvp or just goofing off (I mean really silver pledges are so easy that why not).

    Oh I'm just answering your "who does that in pve", as for strong cheap morphs, I don't really have an answer to that beyond "perhaps stave ultimates will be cost friendly". Please understand I'm coming at this entirely from a PvE perspective, I find pvp loathsome. I just wanted to point out that I felt Leap was in a fine place where it was PvE-wise and I tend to be wary of changes made with the sole purpose of benefiting PvP.

    No one uses the Ferocious Leap morph. Only stam DKs use Take Flight. What changes in PvE if mDKs get Ferocious Leap to do magic damage? How can Leap be in a good place PvE wise if it is only used for goofing off?

    So many terrible ideas that would further imbalance the game.

    Giving DKs a magick version of Leap just allows them some much needed dmg in pvp. None of the other classes need this.

    Having a Magicka and Stamina morph for every ability would be a really terrible idea unless they're going to have 4 morphs for every ability, 2 stamina and 2 magicka with the effects identical between the Stamina/Magicka morphs. Anything else would severely limit variety and effectively cripple any number of builds that rely on abilities being as they currently are, and any change should be to expand variety and not limit it.

    Wait.... You may be onto something. Why can't we have 2 magic and 2 stam morphs for every ability in the game? (at least class abilities) this would add so much verity to the game and people wouldn't be forced to use specific builds/setups.

    I am totally down for all of this, This whole game should have two ways to play a class, stamina and magica, both with unique variations to ALL CLASS SKILLS. This would create a HUGE diversity in the game, because you have OPTIONS! More OPTIONS = more UNIQUE builds. Anyone who disagrees are stuck on old ways on how this game is played and not down for what elder scrolls truly stands for; play the way you want to play.
