Help my stam dk please?

Mettaricana

Im running a redguard stam dk shes race changed several times (your welcome zos)
But nothing seems to work on her bo matter the gear choice im lacking crit dmg stam health recovery etc im at the cp cap etc. Ive tried vo, tfs, viper, tbs, hundings, defiler, ravager, no combo of anything seems to amount to more than 28-30k 15.5k health buffed and barely scraping 2.9-3k wep dmg

She just seems to be like 40% behind all my characters of the same level my stam sorc can stomp a mud hole into anything she fights with stats and resources to spare same for my mag blade and stam blade..

Stam DK are apparently able to do the highest single target PvE DPS parses right now.

Which amazes me because the class doesn't seem to be built for that at all. Our only damage passive works on our crappy aoe attacks.

Your running viper so I'm guessing pvp?

30k stam, 3k weapon damage is not that bad. what are you having trouble with exactly?

Screenshots would help

I think that screenshots of your stats, build, and explanation of your rotations are needed for us to provide the help you need.

I'm guessing you're using the Dubious Camoran Throne as your buff drink of choice based on your health and stamina pool. In that case, switch to regular bi-stat health+stamina food. Basically, you're a stam DK; heavy attacks are your specialty.

Guides can also be found online. Alcast has a good general stam DK guide, and you can find more specialized guides on Tamriel Foundry from people more experienced with their classes with their own unique gameplay styles.

Not pvp its pve build but she just seems lacking in everything i see players hitting 3.7k wep dmg and 39k stam on khajiits im like *** how i cant hit close to that on stamina ideal races on all gold enchants... compared to my other characters she just seems crippled in resources and power.

I tried dw with minimal luck and the abysmal non vigor heals has me on the ropes compared to every class having a good heal.

Two hander actually worked nice rally healed alot but without viper it fell behind dmg wise using hundings helped a little bit of health and max resources but still gimped in stats

Mettaricana, I have played stamina DKs and stamina NBs since beta in PVE and they were always challenging to play. Just for a change I switched over to a magicka Templar and I CANNOT believe how much easier that class is than my others.

Until ZOS changes how things work in this game it will always be more difficult but not impossible to keep up with the other classes. If you like challenges you have one before you. LOL

I feel your pain, my main char is a stamDK and i am still struggeling/learning how to play her decently. When i started a MagSorc everything was a walk in the park compared to my stamDK.

Anyway, back to the topic, like i said i run a stamDK (Dunmer) as my main and like HatchetHero posted you should switch to a blue food buff. Any of the higher level ragout will do (i prefer the garlic cod with potato crust). You should end up with around 33k Stamina and 19k health. About weapon damage, i am running a very basic armour setup, spriggans and hundings, armour on purple, weapons on gold and get 3.2k weapon damage and a crit change of 69% (flames of oblivion & Flawless Dawnbreaker ulti slotted) which is fine for now.
What skills are you using and how does you rotation looks like?

Mettaricana

Bout same on rotation i swapped to redguard because of abysmal stamina and recovery of the dunmer ahe was a dunmer then imperial and all left me lacking hard somewhere
