I do not believe that the Magicka DK is overpowered. In fact mine is so pathetic I turned him into a full time crafter.

To beat a Mag DK I mean you're the most OP class in PvP lol just do what every easyblade does. Fear,surprise attack,fear surprise attack, fear surprise attack,fear ambush,incap.

DKs are a very tanky class. and now they have their damage scaled as other classes, so yeah they're pretty tough to beat in general and can reflect most ranged attacks.. so you need close ranges attacks and many CC (crowd control skill) such as Agony or fear, as you drain their stamina, you can CC them again and have more chance to damage them while they arent hurting you.. easier said than done.

I don't understand either. As a melee, why would a magicka DK fear you ?
Dk is super OP vs Sorcerers and basically all casters. But melees have free play VS DKs. Well, DKs deal lethal damage melee. But without wings, they also take good damage,

Fear = Win

The trouble is understandable. MDK will fry a typical stamblade with dots 1v1. Don't let him hold you up close for long. Dip in, fear, burst, dip out. Do that until he is out of stam, then kill him when he can't cc break. Use shade to build distance.

Bow isn't smart versus a mDK. You'll be lucky to not get your stuff reflected.

I recommend dw using the twin slashes morph that snares. A good snare will let you kite the DK while your dots work it down. They can't block dots anymore, and they don't have a good gap closer with which to stay on you.

Basicallt, in a 1v1, the mDK house is stronger than the Templar house, so don't stay up close for long. Jump in and out with burst and ccs, and kite while your dots burn. If you catch him with no stam, go to town, but don't overcommit and get talonsed without stam of your own.

Happy L2ping

this is a fun but challenging fight despite what the monkeys say about mDK. Good luck. Just keep fighting til you get the hang of it. No shame in dying!

Edit: oh I forgot to mention, your cp distribution will make or break your stamblade's survivability. 10 resistant, 10 thick skin, 12 quick recovery, 1 expert defender, then the rest in Hardy and ele defender. Favor ele def for open world since you can dodge most stam attacks. Also wear lots of impen.
