Barely run into them anymore in pvp that aren't block-tards. I don't see how blocking is any fun.

    Stam DKs have been nerfed to a place where tankier builds with fast ult gen is the easiest to play. You can still see some people doing 2H builds though and can deliver some serious burst.

    Block-StamDKs that runs HA - they exist. And they hit you with 15k+ leaps when they've blocked and tanked 10 people for 30 seconds.

    StamDKs are completely balanced, I promise. (Well, stamDKs are balanced. The sets they're running ain't).

    It's not fun, but it's the only thing a Stam DK can do in PvP that a Stam warden can't do better. We're pretty much forced into it by the current balance.

    StamDKs get strong when dealing with groups. Like their whole shtick is take and block damage to get ult/heal/weapon damage. And then burst in leaps.

    Outside of that they have low damage when fought solo, (quite tanky, but less so.) or when part of a group. (No utility and requires attention for damage.) I feel like the permablock aspect needs to be toned down, in exchange for utility, but this is definitely how DKs should be.

    Stam warden starts to become quite popular on ps4 EU. I see them much more then mag warden at the moment. I know several magdens who switched to stam. Overall whole class pretty rare though.

    instead ....the cancer-build-block-dk magicka are ok ! all right ! ...(with some magicka builds you have 16k of stamina only for block + 5 pieces sturdy ( gold ) some heavy attack +pot+ultimate and tanking 10 people for 20 minutes .. balanced

    Cancer class/build now are magicka not stamina

    Ok but nerf set of stam dk !

    in pvp ? ..are you kidding me ?

    Cancerous class now are Dkm and templar in heavy played with the right build....and with a reasoned use of the mist form and LOS

    all phenomena with dks , then I see them dying in 4 seconds in pvp


    it is also thanks to these comments that this game will never be balanced

    What game are you playing?

    Stam DK can't just heal with vigor and magica DKs healing is off the charts if you build yourself right.

    Then you have a bad stamdk build. I play on PC EU. I much prefer going up agains magdk over stamdk. What I will give dk both magicka and stamina is that they lack a place in group play in smaller groups they work ok especially stam but in a group of 6+ you are probably better of with another class.

    Roll yourself a stamdk argonian with seventh legion, ritual mundus, vitality pots and malubeth or blood spawn. But it's better now after the fix on befoule exploit cp buffing self heals. Still extremely tanky with great burst.

    Against bad ones, yes, but not good ones. Mag DKs don't have to let go of the block button to kill you. Stam DKs do. Mag DKs don't have to let go of block to heal themselves with coagulating, embers, or whip. Stam DKs have to bar swap to get that rally heal.

    In No CP, Stam DKs have an advantage. But in CP, Mag DKs are beasts that are only really rivaled by Stam wardens.

    I disagree In the sense of a solo player. I agree in the sense of a dueler. Mag DKs are beast at dueling right up there with Mag NB and Mag Sorc. I can heal better on Stam DK however. Vigor igneous rally is better than coag. Burning embers requires a target and is hard sometimes when focused by multiple people. Once my ulti is up and I have turtled enough people i can burst better on Stam DK too.

    Healing is better on a mag DK. There's no point even argueing that because the major mending duration nerf had a much bigger effect on builds relying on HoTs (vigor) instead of burst heals (dragon blood). You can simply get more mileage out of major mending on a magicka DK

    Yeah, plus many Mag DKs will backbar resto..

    Or at least they used to. Now that I think about it, I don't see that as much as I used to.

    But the main thing with Mag DKs is the permablock behind shield. Stam DKs heal with Stam, which doesn't regen when blocking.. plus rally obviously doesn't allow a shield...
