Help with DK build (procsy, procsy)

Xvorg

Since the current meta is to proc everything, is time to get on the bus... So I've been theorycrafting something but a bit far from those cookie cutter builds (wanna use my brain, at least once)

I've been thinking about combining this 3 sets with a DK/templar (being DK the first option)







5 pieces heavy (perma), 1 medium + 1 light. Trinimac's jewelry and s/b or DW as weapons

The first bar should be something like this:

burning embers/flame lash
Burning talons
Deep breath/draw essence
Fragmented shield
Dampen magic

U Replenishing/reviving barrier

Seconds bar? I have no idea.

The thing is, I want to use shields in a offensive (trinimac's, infernal guardian, fragmented explosion) and defensive way (shields itself, extra health regen through trinimac's, health/magicka return through the ulti), while doing some dmg class skills. Nevertheles, I'm not sure about the ofensive skills, I know I need something to do dmg and regain health. Maybe burning embers is enough (cheap and quite fast), but whip is a good option, though I'd need a root to make it work.

The second doubt has to do with the use of heavy over light armor. Light armor with a shield is a good option and increases a lot my penetration, consiering it is not a ranged build (so no flame staff), but heavy incrases healing received and max health (wich is good for fragmented shield) and if I run out of magicka, I have certain survaibility

Obviously, with a templar the build is easier, but I don't want to be just another templar using blaze shield

Any ideas to make it work, or reasons why it wouldn't work?

Thanks

Trinimac's Valor will only proc for shields on others, not yourself. I like the set, but it's only really useful for Dragonknight healers or Sorcerers with pets. It procs on other players, sorcerer pets, and NPCs (but not Crown store pets or NPCs). So keep that in mind.
The stacked regeneration from this set is awesome. It can help offset from using some heavy armor, especially if you use permafrost jewelry so only go two pieces of heavy

Since you want melee, Dragonknight is a great class for that.
The Burning Embers skill works as advertised, and I highly recommend it.
Inhale and its morphs are also a good self-heal for dealing with groups; in PvE that is my healer's self heal when mobbed, although I don't think it is quite so effective in PvP.
Whip is very popular, so I imagine it's a good one as well or it wouldn't be used half as often as now. My Dragonknight is a healer, not DPS, so I don't have personal experience.

Just a few thoughts to add to your own.

Trinimac is trash. Just use dampen it'll fire off infernal every 6s without issue. Makes it a very effective 30k attack on a static target,good aoe for parked trash. Just use spellweave or Julianos with guardian and a lit staff and drop dots and hold trigger after popping shield and it's immense damage. I mean actual stupid damage.

Interesting.

Actually 5pcs trinimac is a choice due to the magicka regen, but 4 pcs trini with a frost staff is an option too. Nevertheless, Seducer's 4 pieces are the same than trinimac.

Other options I've been looking for are
- Affliction
- Akaviri DG
- Elf Bane
- Rattlecage
- Robes of the hist
- lich
- Sun
- warlock
- WMK
- seducer
- Spectre's eye
