Do Dragonknights need an attack buff?

Aldin11

My main is a dragonknight and I think dragonknights need more strong abilites. Compared to Nightblades and Sorcerers they just dont have a strong ability like nightblades have teleport strike and sorcerers have that crystal thing. Personally I'm getting dominated in cyrodill by those ablilities. I know dragonknights have good defense abilites but I think they need to buff up attack abilites. I'm a dps and I use mostly weapon skills. So do dragonknights need an attack buff? Don't get me wrong DK's are really good tanks just that theres not many options for dps.
Edit: If you know any good DK dps abilites I would really appreciate it if you told me.

Yes we need balance for attack in places like pvp

Not sure why people say this. Have you played this game? Just about every class is tanky with insane damage. Every classes defense gets stronger when they stack damage, except magicka dk, soooo yeah.. You can have both. There are no trade offs.

Magicka DK is basically the only class that can't have both.

I mean, the undisputed top DPS comes from stamina DKs at the moment, so buffing them seems silly. Of course, stam DKs in pvp do well enough, but I think Magicka DKs in pvp might need some love.

People say this, yet my Stam DW DK seems real squishy. I struggle with anything more than 3 mobs in solo PVE areas, and even those if they are all casters get me sometimes.

Magdk..elegant + sharp lit staff. Will crit for 20k in pvp alone. Regardless of how tanky the enemy is. You can honestly cook anyone with few attacks. Put an ember on them and light them and bye bye. Once it latches on there is little escape. Even better with a prismatic glyph hitting a vamp blade. They are gone in less than 2s.

Khaos_Bane

Yes, buff STA DK so we can dominate even more !

I have no issues with mag DK, be it PvE or PvP, in terms of damage, I'll buy the old Dragon Blood for PvP, don't want anything else.

DHale

No

Whip just needs a moderate buff, scales need to actually reflect 4 projectiles and green dragon blood needs fixed. Last leap needs to be fixed since it was nerfed to avoid keep jumping they just messed it up.

when you say than dk have not many option for dps , you talk about pvp ? we are ok , because the DK the 1st magicka DPS of the game ! and the Dk is the 1st STAMINA DPS of the game , in PVE . In PVP , dk stam are very good , and Dk magicka/stam are good . this is not enough ? you have the best classe stamina/magicka dps PVE , and the best class tank pve/pvp ?.

Yes because the community was in an uproarin the pvp community when we were over powered and in the PVE as well because a certain dress and stick spec could solo VR content, that really was not a DK problem but a Armor imbalance in light but ZOS would not listen. So Zos responded by eviscerating our Survivablity and increasing our DPS. Still more complaing, Eviscerate DK utility. Still more complaing Lets take away their DPS!. Now DK ...... Well here is the understanding DK was supposed to be a great tank at launch , its why we had great survivablity it has knight in its name for a reason lol. Zos's biggest problem is they keep losing talented creative people and replacing them with other creative talanted people that had no idea of what the other talented creative people were doing. Mat Fior is a legend he has been in the buisness a long time, but i think he needs to get back to the roots of MMO's and stop with the Buisness side of trying to capture new player bases and focus on retaning those that have played the game for the long haul.

DKs have a very cheap ultimate, dragon leap, which is a good gap closer, does a lot of damage and stuns. One morph gives you more range, more damage, and even lower cost, while the other gives you a huge damage shield.

No

No! Stamina DKs are op af. Black Rose infinite Stamina, any1? ))

Magicka DKs on the other hand, could use a slight buff. Their whip-damage need a slight increase, as compared to other 5x Light Armour-users their damage is a bit lackluster. On the other hand, they're tankier than most 5x light armour users due to their nature. Burning Embers is a strong af heal, but just like most Templars, Magicka DKs lack that big burst-damage that makes them comparable to Stamina DKs in 1vX/2vX etc.

But animation cancelled whip(Power lash) combined with something else, DOES hurt!

Make Molten Armaments a execute again problem solved.

No

yes

Not being rude or condescending, but it's a L2P issue. DK will do well in pretty much any situation as long as they are prepared properly. As OP suggested, DKs make good tanks which means they have good defenses. DKs have a great tool bag and have always, pretty much, doe. Well in PvP.

I'd suggest finding a good PvP guild and lean on them for advice.

No

Magicka DK needs some sort of buff, either a major sorcery or execute on Flame Lash type of thing.

Stam DK is fine. Perfect balance of offensive DPS and tankiness, probably the most balanced class in the game in that respect. It's one of the few builds imo that ZOS has found the sweet spot for, and doesn't need any changes.

We all can get major sorc from a pot. As for a DK execute, their dos stays solid from the start. It's why they do not have an execute.

Every class has DOT's, but you can't run a bar full of DOT's in PVP and really be competitive.

No

Lol people here moan about the game quality but the forum post quality is absolutely poor these days

WillhelmBlack

No

Dragon Blood needs fixing.

waterfairy

Igneous weapons is an attack buff

Danksta

No

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in terms of PvE DPS isn't stam DK at the top of the food chain.

As for being "dominated" by ambush in PvP, that's a L2P issue.

Wollust

Magicka DK needs a lot of help in PvP.
Stam DK is more than fine, PvE and PvP wise.
