Love watching ur vids I used ur other build with dessert rose and impreg for bgs when it was none cp and worked very well for me.

Blobsky

Cheers all for the positive feedback

I am always wondering how is this possible that on videos like this amount of immobilizes/stuns used by attackers is barely noticable yet in reality there is always like 2-3 players spamming unblockable/unddogable stuns on cooldown :lol

Despite that it's still well played and without Skoria so double respect !

Great stuff. Highly skilled players always motivate me ..and depress me at the same time, since I can't replicate what you are able to do

Same: I watch these videos and get all inspired and determined, then I go to Cyrodiil and trip on my feet

Nice video but why is this in general?

I have tried running without mist form and its really hard. Most helps with LOS which helps with survivability. I used to watch everyone of your Magicka DK streams and in countless situations there were spots where if you would have had most mist form you could have survived. Mist form is garbage mobility but better than nothing. Enjoyed the video and glad to see an upload with Magicka DK. Id be interested in hearing your insights on current mag dk potentials and so on.

Really annoying comment...

Plenty of people enjoy watching quality pvp gameplay. Keep that comment to yourself.

I am not saying video is bad, its fun to watch, but if you think quality PvP is trashing pugs than you have low standards.

@Blobsky nice video, nice leaps... I love leaps, a nice long leap is the most awesome play in the game imo.

needs a counter that can swat a dk into the dirt mid-leap.

Destro skill "Flame Reach", unless DK is currently immune, will cause the leap to go straight up and miss the mark entirely.

Enjoyed the video, please keep them coming.

Well, there´s no entertaining value in watching someone die constantly

A light armor MagDK...using a sword and shield.

Just about everyone has S&B on one bar because of block costs, being able to both drastically increase your mitigation, reduce the cost of blocking, and increase your mobility while blocking is advantageous in a world where blocking is extremely expensive.

Some of us though just like things being harder.

Lot's of things can, I've been hit mid leap by Meteor, another leap, oh and I've just straight up died mid leap.

You can also just kill him in the air. It’s easily the best counter since he’s not blocking and very susceptible to burst. If you’re able to deal your damage to him while holding block, even better.

I strongly believe that mist form is a 'death-staller' more than anything else. I voice my opinions very strongly about the skill, but I can think of VERY few times that I would have 'won' a fight where it saves me and then I can kill opponents. It generally just makes dying slower and more depressing.

Without Mist form you can use some brilliant DK accessory skills, including my ultimate favourite, Flames of Oblivion, which can massively help get kills and win fights quickly that you would otherwise simply not get kills in.

Personal preference, but one that certainly wont change for me. Actually, I even recently entirely dropped vamp on this build

Rofl. EP needed AD to help them in the keep solo...that was hilarious.

Lylith

thanks for the advice for counters, all of you.

Hmm not sure what to say to this.

One adapts ones gameplay according to the ambience. Doesnt matter if it is in a raid group or solo vs pugs or 4v4 etc etc.

Good gameplay is good gameplay.

You clearly do mean to be rude, and your shrugged "sorry" doesn't disguise that. Plenty of people care what blobs is doing with PvP builds. If you're not one of them, please back out of the thread without posting anything.

This was an interesting watch, very different than what most DKs are doing right now.

Many PvPers use immov pots combined with shuffle or forward momentum. We time our kiting / LoS to coincide with when the pots are down, and we push hard when the pots are up.

Hmm... whenever there are a lot of enemies whaling on me, or let's say you're kiting some people around a resource tower for example, mist is pretty handy for saving my ass by getting out of the way. You don't feel there is a need for some way to counter snares like mist, purge, forward momentum etc?

Watching his video, and those of other DKs, snare removal doesn't seem to be a priority because they just face tank and waddle away.

This isn't nearly as easy to do on most classes. However other classes typically offer ways around this, cloak, streak, purge, etc

I gotta agree with @Blobsky for the most part it seems like a lose-less ability (there are exceptions like a tank build that blocks and then uses mist to Regen Stam)

I think that the stamina management of MagDK, alongside some clever CP arrangement, negates the need for now. If they ever nerfed blocking, I'd build with 2h

Dreth

Please release this build. I do pretty well with my magDK despite all the hate they get right now, but I am very interested to see what you are doing with this build and how mine can improve.
