2h and s&b setup

I've been playing StamDK as my main for pvp-ing since 1.6 and enjoy s&b + 2h because of its robustness. For this patch I will be doing the same as well. Explaination to the sets used.

WHY HEAVY ARMOR? Due to all passives from DK s&b is just made in heaven for us DKs. Decrease damage by 10% while blocking, gaining resources after using ulti and igneous shield make DK one of the best class to use heavy armor. That being said the downside of dk is we don't have any skills/passives that reduce cost or provide regeneration. Thus, this makes heavy armor even more suitable for stam DK.

WHY TAVA'S FAVOR & BONE PIRATE? After getting used to Tava's favor I really think that it is better than werewolf hide because it is able to regeneration 9 ulti per 3 secs. 3x more than werewolf hide but only on dodged attacks. So in a way for this build I will dodge roll more often to obtain that mad ulti regen from tava's. Bone pirate on the other hand provide us with really solid stats. almost 39k stamina + 1.7k stamina regen on sword and board bar.

WHY BLOODSPAWN? Ulti regen is the best imo. However, selene and troll king are really really good as well.

CP, FoodBuff & Mundus

Dubious drink foodbuff & Thief mundus
Very straight forward and generic. Just make sure u have 30 points in to Atronach tree to get ripsto block passive & 66 points into master-at-arms for big big leap damage

SKILLS

Some skills are interchangable

1. reverse slice FOR trap beast

2. venomous claw FOR noxious breath

3. volatile armor FOR wings

4. Reverb bash FOR Fossilized (Not recommendable if u cant sustain magicka)

STATS SHEET

Unbuffed stats

COMBACT GAMEPLAY

Combos & Tips - 8:00 onward in video. Highly recommendable!

LAST WORDS:

Feel free to gimme some constructive feedback and Cya in cyrodiil!

Like your Videos. But in my opinion, Werewolf Hide is the better Option instead of Tavas. Why? With an Heavy Armor DK i can't rolledodge often. But i can blocking a long time. Every Dot proccs the Werewolf Hide. The Ulti Gen feels faster for me. This is the reason why i'm using 5x Fury, 5x Werewolf Hide, 2 Bloodspawn. Backbar Heroic Slash for Snare and Ulti. Fully Buffed i'm on 37k Stam, 1500 Stam Regen and 4.2k Weapon Damage on 2H Bar. Resistance on S&B Bar at 31k and 28k and 3k Crit Resistance with 2 sturdy Armor Pieces. I can block a lot, procc Fury and give a huge burst. LA, Dizzying, Leap, LA, Reverse Slice for example. And if you ever have issues with your stam, pop the Spell Wall and do 2-3 HA. So you can enchant 2 Jewlery with Weapon Damage and 1 Cost Reduction/ or Regen.

But thanks anyway for your Builds and Time.

In CP campaign fury+BS+werewolf is definitely still good. Hell, I even used it since the beginning of homestead patch.
But that being said shuffle is a good to to activate tavas proc and tavas provide 3x more ulti regen compare to werewolf hide. That's why it is my prefered choice.
About the stats it is really hard to compare because there are many factors like vamp, gyphs and mundus etc etc. So if its possible could you post ur unbuff stats detail with the addon (My Build)? Because with that then I can see and compare ur unbuff stats to mine.

Lovely build @crusnik91. Been going back and forth if I should go with Tava´s or Werewolf Hide, but this just makes me more convinced that Tava´s might be a better option.

Will have to go back in Blackhearth Haven again I guess for those jewels xD

PS Why did ZOS have to make stahlrim crownstore exclusive?? It looks so good

yup. For CP the old beastly build with werewolf+fury is still really nice. But for BG and non-CP swifty will definitely outperform that build. I never bother buying them. Just asked my master crafter buddy to craft it for me

+ 1 awesome for you sir to bring back the might stam dk to the battlefield!

I'm looking for a good sustain set in pvp as my current set up won't let me last long.

Your youtube video is really impressive, keep it up! Definatley going to try the set combo as well. Cheers for the share

I'm playing on console. I can make an screen unbuffed and post the cp, glyphs etc for you. If you want.
