Strongest "Take Flight" possible for stamDK

Savos_Saren · July 2017

I'm trying to create a build around "Take Flight" for my Redguard stamDK for PVP... and I'm trying to figure out what sets would offer the biggest burst and then toss in an AOE execute... while maintaining some survivabilty.

From what I've gathered so far:

-5 Automaton: Adds Crit, Weap Dmg, Stamina, and 400 dmg to physical damage abilities... which is Take Flight, Tremorscale, Puncture, etc...
-5 Bone Pirate Tatters: Adds Max Stam, Stam recovery, Max Stam, and 2000 max stam with 150 recovery.
-2 Tremorscale: Adds Max stam and 50% chance for burst damage.

The reason I chose Bone Pirate Tatters is that I would love the recovery- plus the max stamina also adds to the damage from Take Flight.

Last I checked: 10.5 mag/stam = 1 mag/stam damage... so the bonus from BPT roughly equals 190 damage.

Basically, I want to be able to buff up with Igneous Weapons (major and minor brutality), Dragon Leap into a zerg, and bust out a Tremorscale. Then toss up some Dark Talons and GTFO of there. This is basically a DK version of a Stamblade... and it's more of a sh*ts and giggles build.

Any suggestions on gear?

Can it still be empowered with Might of the Guild? If so, throw that into your buff rotation

@Alucardo... even better- instead of leveling the mage's guild skill, technically, I could use Empowering Chains.

Well it depends a little. But in general I'd say if it's just about the take flight. 5 spriggans 5 clever alchemist 1 kraghs 1 Kena/veli. If they are HEAVILY armored this will do the most imo shadow stone for CRIT. So if it DOES crit it goes harder. This will not have the highest tooltip but it will outperform something that just gives weapon damage.age in actual damage. Unless they throw up a shield....

Yeah, I struggle with the most beneficial traits if I can't see it on the tool tip. It's my own personal flaw. Ha!

I even tried to create a mDK with the HIGHEST amount of flame damage for my Ferocious Leap. I could only come up with 5 Silks of the Sun, 5 Burning Spellweave, and 2 Valkyn (for our "ghetto execute" since mDKs don't have one).
