Tanky builds are, quite frankly, some of the most fun you can have in Cyrodiil. They confuse the everliving snot out of mainline doctrine PvPers, who cannot wrap their heads around a player who can survive their alpha. PvPers like... someone in this thread?
Exactly. I've been having so much time in big battles ever since I swapped to a more tanky character, the uptime is great and you get to actually enjoy being on the frontlines without worrying that you'll melt in an instant. And quite often I don't even die in those huge zerg vs zerg battles, but just walk away. Sure, that shouldn't be possible in an ideal world, but if I had to choose between that or just getting zerged and melted in 5 seconds every time, I choose to have some fun.
Some people are just too slow to realize that and therefore aren't having as much fun as they could (provided that they'd enjoy that particular playstyle of course). Lee seems to be one of those. As are his idol pc eu haters and certain 'streamers' that are known for agitating every time they get their ass kicked. It's really funny in the end.LegendaryMage wrote: »starkerealm wrote: »LegendaryMage wrote: »edit; as for my builds and what I play, I play a tanky character because there's groups of people (mostly the ones you put on a pedestal) that always try-hard me in packs of 5+ people (again, I'd call out names but it's not allowed due to forum rules), so I'm sorry if you don't like that, I don't like being zerged by try-hards either and their tremor/viper/selene crap.

So basically you jumped on the meta everyone knows and your proud? It's ik if you feel the need to run the heavy meta tanky class to pvp. If it helps you survives zergs it's fine. But you also Xv1 on that build and brag it's quite pitying to be honest.

No you do not know what you're talking about. This is where my comment derived from so yeah if you still think a DK can hold their ground and prevail in a fight then stop right there because you clearly do not know anything about DKs, whether it be Mag or Stam there is no 'holding your ground'. You can build to holding your ground on any class but unfortunately we do not sustain better, heal better, or regenerate faster ultimate than anyone so yet again there is no 'holding your ground' it's taking it till you die.
Mag DK struggles with sustain due to the cost of the abilities and the nerf to the mages skill (name slips me but it takes health and turns it into magicka not like). Mag DKs do not do a lot of damage until you consistently root enemies in order to proc your whips (with spellweave active and another spell damage boosting set like julianos that is). My Mag DK is suppose to what spam talons forever till I get smacked by other classes hard hitting abilities? Mag DKs have embers,flame lash, corrosive armor, fiery breath, igneous shield,fossilize, and talons; the rest are imo garbage.
Yeah I believe Stam DK needs a buff and that's not crazy because... #1 We do not have any PvP stamina skills (ones that are actually good) This applies to both class forms Mag/Stam because DoTs in PvP do not do anything. I know your mind is most likely blown right now but they just don't. Take flight is garbage, you literally see that thing coming and one dodge roll is all it takes or even side stepping the landing lmao. I will say we do have the best defence ultimate which is Corrosive Armor, that is literally the only other skills that are good for a stam DK. I should also add fossilize for roots and igneous shield because major mending is great too, but that's it.
Helping hands is a horrible recovery set for stamina, to put in perspective you'd need 50k stamina right now in order to get back 2.5k stamina while having to pay a 4k magicka fee; for Mag Dks it's even worse as most do not have more than 10k stamina lol..
