Reposted from another forum.

I was thinking about trying a heavy attack build with my mDK (in preparation for a block nerf) and I was wondering what everyone considers a good heavy attack build. I was thinking:

5 Elegance (buffs heavy attack)
5 Infallible Aether (buffs heavy attack and debuffs enemy)
1 Kena

I was going to run destro/resto with the following rotation:

Molten Armaments- Inner Light- Hold heavy attack- follow with a Stone Giant.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Isn’t Knight Slayer only 9% of health IF they have a shield up?

    No thats shield breaker which gives approx 2k oblivion damage

    knight slayer gives a little less on any target when you heavy attack

    Some stam builds even run knight slayer

    Fffffffffuuuuuu I just read up on it. So here’s what I gather:

    5 knight slayer
    5 elegance
    1 kena

    All jewelry with damage enchants. CP piled into direct damage and light/heavy attacks.

    Rotation: molten armaments-inner light-heavy attack-stone giant

    Any other suggestions? Ferocious Leap as ultimate or Meteor for the Mage’s Guild passives?

    Leap for sure. It's your execute really. I'd also run crushing shock to have a ranged spammable. Then regular mDK skills. If you have a perfected asylum staff run that instead of pc kena.

    problem with HA is that you cannot block cast and it is pretty slow to get one off.

    in close range use a vMA staff with wall of elements

    elegance by the way isnt really good because the percentage increase is soo much weaker than absolute increases.

    Stop the grind! Get rid of stupid events and daily-quest gallore. Get rid of "have a chance of 1 in a million to get a piece of 1 in 30 to get a stupid motif or pet... wtf..."
    And at this point just remove all classes and have everyone choose their set of skills. then balance accordingly to skills always used vs. skills never used.

    Perhaps I should clarify: this is for PVP. Sorry for the confusion.

    If you go knight slayer, you should run Argonian and choose a HA set to increase your health. What about Soulshine? That should increase you HA spell dmg (since it is a cast time skill). Other options could be Medusa and Elf Bane.

    Or craft a full heavy Julianos/Kagre or even a Torug's if using a oblivion glyph
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    The issue with running heavy armor is that you’d lose out on the penetration and crit (both are instrumental toward heavy attacks)

    Yes, I read the tooltip the other way around. Now I'm clear it dmg according to the target's health and not KS wearer

    Oh! You thought the damage was based off the attacker’s health? That would be awesomely OP. :D

    So, I’m going to stick with Knight Slayer and Elegance and one piece Kena.

    Here’s the thing: should I go with a nirnhoned flame staff with an irresistible damage enchant?

    Or should I go with an Infused flame staff with an irresistible damage enchant?

    My spell penetration is above 9k- so I shouldn’t need sharpened.
