BSW is definitely fine and still pairable with Torugs for ST and movement intense fights.

But IA is like Torugs not for AOE fight, also IA is obsolete if a healer uses it already.
I'd guess sth like BSW + Elegance / Undaunted ?

Trust me, healers hate using aether and will love you for using it. pair it with BSW, will be fine

@Masel92 have you tried pairing BSW and Siroria / Perfect Sirorira for your build? And if so what were the results like? I imagine it would make up for running double infused staves if you went down that route

I'm still missing one last body piece of perfect siroria so I can't test it yet on live... I won't bother with the imperfect version.

How are things looking for Murkmire?

So, is the lightning channel attack dead now? Or can it still pull 43k with the original build?

Cybercore_Death

@Lab3360 I use the rotation of this build but with a different gear and CP setup and I'm at 44k atm with it and that's with a hiccup during the rota. My gear and CP are in the video description of you're interested. Had no issues in Vet trials and got my first vMoL and vAS clears using it.

Hey there.

Using the same type of PvE gear and rotation, i'm hitting 43k dps on argonian as i said somewhere on this post.

But, do you have finish vHoF ? vAS+2 ? and vCR +3 ? using this build.

'cause all guild i try to join just say me no.
Cause :
I'm magDK. And +, i'm no méta magDK.

They only research magblade/stamblade (I talk only for true french guild HL).

I will never finish them, 'cause i love my character and my build. So...
I'm just boring all my day, waiting in craglorn for do some nAA... or nHRC...

Hey, I've finished vHoF HM, vAS HM and up to vCR+2 on this build,yeah. You kinda have to be lucky to find a guild that is tolerant in that direction, which isnt easy....

If pulls off nice dps and it's definetely enough to finish all content, so people underestimate it greatly, especially since it has way more cleave than a standard light attack build...

I saw it's hard, cause we got only 3 HL french guild who complete them (and all they need is to be on top leaderboard...).
So...

For sure, you can move like a long range dps easier than the pyro one.

Thanks for answer

Did a patch notes discuss a change or do we suspect a stealth nerf here? Do we have before / after numbers to compare?

@Masel has a youtube channel, and here is his MagDK build for Scalebreaker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlSSI2Qu-Yw

In the comments he's asked about the heavy attack build, and he mentions that its pretty far behind, topping out at 75K.

This build doesn't make much sense to me but to each their own.

It was used by people who found LA builds too stressful, or had to rely on it due to high latency/disabilities etc. It is actually quite fun to play; it is very satisfying to see your lightning heavies melt everything very fast.

Now that light attacks are so strong and you have so many DoT options to put on your bars, youbjust dont have the time to do lightning heavies anymore without losing so much damage that it is just very much subpar to the rest. I usually have a border for builds I publish thatvthey must be within 5-10% of the meta builds so they dont put you at a very significant disadvantage, and this build falls far below that now, sadly.

Yep this was the first build I used that got me my first vma clear and eventual flawless conqouror, even though I dont use this build no more because of the LA meta I still follow it because it helped me so a lot when I was learning dps role

Lightning staff heavy attack was ninja buged, so this build on dk not work now.

But it work on other classes. With good passives. So reap for dk, but work on others.

I hit 47,5 k dps befor ninja buged moltan armaments, now it is 37 k ... .

But it work with healing stuff - have 43 k dps on it with out ultimate on the same build. But no aie damage, so it is more simple now to make full light attack build and make 45 k dps on only light attacks ... .
With no aoe damage what is the point?

DK now is garbage - it is only good tank and bad in all other stuffs.

Ok they bug moltan armaments = - 30% dps from heavy attack, so what we can try to do:

The same- warden - all passives on + 5 *2%dps+ ult+minor berserc=all damage buffed on 20%. The same as molten armamets was, heavy attack was half of all dps, so now we buff all dps the same dps like it was on dk, but more than it is on dk niw.

Or necro that buff all damage dots, 3/4 heavy attack counts like a dot, the same passives, passive on -1500 enemys def.

The same damage like dk have from moltan armaments, and has not now.

DK = RIP.

I do nb now, better for pvp. DK is bad everywhere niw so dk tank on, dk dd off.

Buy buy mana DK i really love you.

Molten armaments HA buff is indeed bugged with Lightning staff. Only the last pulse shock is buffed while first 3 ticks are unaffected. Additive buffs are working (VMA staff and Undaunted Infiltrator bonus) but not the MA.

I believe it is not the first time that the Lightning staff has a problem with its ticks not working properly. However the dps loss is real and this bug requires attention. I have submitted the ticket and hope for the best, but well...

It was buged on pts i write about it and make 3 topics on forum. Zos just ignor me.

I hope, i love my mana dk. But do nod believe in zos anymore , and level up my just made nightblade.

I hope if a lot of people write about it they will not ignor all, but when i was alone - they do.
