    Because fewer and fewer people are creating builds rather than getting creative they use these forums and just copy someone else's build. Its ok some people dont have alot of time to test and grind every set.

    I would think few people use this combo because DW offers less utility for PvP than 2H does.

    It's stronger but requires more skill to operate as you'd be on a bar without a gap closer.

    First off this, secondly it only procs on weapon abilites. Some builds make more use of guaranteed procs on melee every 4s than on 10% chance on weapon abilites. E.G stam sorcs can proc viper via hurricane, if i'm not mistaken. But I wouldn't lay my hands in the fire for this since I rarely use proc sets.

    I use red mountain, it's pretty awesome for when you're aiming for better gear, especially for a stamblade. Drop Endless hail on a bunch of mobs and boom, every 0.5 second I have 10% chance of great damage on 1 mob within it. I deal tons of extra damage in dungeons with this, and it's a pretty easy to get set. Or for a cheap price at least, if you don't care Divines trait.

    It procs Ravager and Viper in this patch, so I guess it would at least count as one proc.

    I did run this combo at one time on a Hybrid DK build for PvP and PvE (mostly PvP, though) and it was fun. Ended up scrapping the build because I wasn't getting the damage I wanted (mostly due to my poor choice of monster set, in hindsight, though) and I just really wanted to play mDK again.

    That's not true you can still have a gap closer...

    If this is true than I understand, obviously viper has a higher proc rate

    Not all classes have a target-bound gap closer in their class line. And the one from fighters guild is lackluster and expensive.

    Stam sorc is almost entirely weapon line based for offensive abilities. Meaning the highest proc rate

    The fire set also says it procs off weapon abilities but actually also procs on light and heavy attacks with me.

    Basic atacks are weapon abilities.

    Red Mountain also procs on those

    don't tease me now :)

    just re-requipped my red mountain set on my stam dk (velidreth, black rose and red mountain )...

    was worried about sustain if the set only proc'd from weapon abilities/skills...

    you sure it procs off of light and heavy attacks also?

    just wondering did they reduce the proc percentage or has it always been 10%?

    can anyone confirm that rapid strikes can only proc once or is it each hit? If its only once than I supposed any other preferred DW skill would be better

    I've always found steel tornado to do more damage tbh, I would think it has a chance to proc every hit tho it depends on the toolkit makeup of the skill

    Cool down of Red Mountain is 2 seconds and rapid channel time is less than 2, so I it should never proc more than once. As for each hit giving a chance to proc, I would assume so since weapon dots like poison injection can proc it (but obviously test to be sure)

    It procs on light and heavy attacks, and each tick of a lightning or restoration heavy attack has a chance to proc it.

    danka shein @arkansas_ESO ...

    that'll work, I had equipped red mountain for a while and then put it away...

    battlegrounds though is basically battle of the procs...although, I'll probably keep it on in cyro also :)
