I've been reading this and I don't want to believe it. I've seen a handful of great stam DKs but that's it. A handful. I think the issue lies in us not having a true spammable. I've always felt thats an issue. DoTs can be cleansed but the constant pressure of something like jabs, whip (for mag), or surprise attack outshines our potential.
I'm getting off topic. I suppose I'll just stick with magicka for now. Doing a lot better with it and the damage/survivability is nuts.

Not sure the solutions atm ... I do not think they will change the Stam DK ... How do you boost thetechprince wrote: »You have two options.

Automation does not affect you healing so it does nothing for your HOT and Vigor! Sadly that is why I do not use it for my DKs in PVP ...
Almost all DKs are currently using reactive Weapon Damage ... You need high Weapon damage procs sets to boost your vigor
My current setup stays around 3700 in PVP and spikes up and over 5k at times .... However my warden does the same since I use the same setup....

Nothing really different from a traditional sDK build. The main difference is running forward momentum and lingering health+speed pots instead of shuffle. I use green dragon blood on the back bar for the increase healing and to get back the 20% stam regen I'm missing from my pots.
Igneous shield is trash. Don't use it. It's a waste of magicka. Wings, FoO, and/or GDB are much better magicka dumps.

I know, but you dont need more healing. You eady have 2 healing skills with 50%+ crit rate AND your ult heals. All your damage is physical and that set is op as *** for physical dmg. Alternatives would be hundings rage for full med setup. Ravager is a heavy set, you will lose stamina on your rings/neck which equates to 3k-4k stam loss in total and there will be times that it wont proc at all.

The extra healing from lingering health pots+Minor vitality far out weights two vigor ticks worth of major vitality plus losing a global cooldown. Saving myself a global cooldown was the reason why I dropped igneous shield from my mDK. Then I tried dropping it from my StamDK and liked it better. I'd rather get my healing from other sources than igneous shield so I don't need to hit two skills when under pressure--only one and a dodge roll.
Correct, my build does not have a source of minor brutality.
Helping hands is garbage now. Trading 4K magicka for 1k stamina is a bad trade.
Regardless, we're debating something pointless. However you stack your defenses, DKs don't lack in the tankiness department. They lack burst.

I’m no stam DK expert, but I’m pretty sure 7th+WW+BS+Asylum Axe is the way to go
