Stam dk double snb

5 black rose
5 shacklebreaker
1 kena 1 domihaus or velidreth for more dmg
Serpent mundus with 1 stak recovery glyph on jewelry

A lot of people feel the need for 2h for surviving but with this setup i been having no problems at all.

This is one of those builds where you either kill them or walk away because nobody should be able to kill you ( so far thats been my experience )

With heal debuff and oblivion enchantment with infused on front bar can put some good pressure on someone especially if timed right with leap.

The weapon damage goes up to 3800 full buffed which isnt great but with 75% heal debuff its really enough damage for most people.

Im not a fan of cheese builds so i wanted to make something a little more respectable but also have a little cheese in it o:) ( nerf reverb bash )

Pros - infinite igneous shields, infinite stam, great pressure/damage, very tanky with 5 heavy, amazing for dueling.

Cons - no rally and no execute

You guys should try it out.

    Ya stam dk is by far worst pvp class. This setup atleast gives them pressure that they dont have. Heal debuff build is only way to go with stam dk or else you just wont be competitive.

    I also beat some top duelers on xbox na people that i lose to at times with my mains. So the build does work good.

    You would he surprised what kind of pressure this build brings.

    Or crazy idea they could finally buff/improve DKs; I mean it isn't as if the class hasn't received what over 15 nerfs and I believe two moves stolen from the class/given to others e.g. Flames of Oblivion going to sorcerer for no damn reason.

    Top features of this build:
    1) Allow you to kill a below average player in a 5 minute fight.
    2) Stall long enough against an average player for your zerg to arrive.

    This is a dueling build. And unless your a 3 shield stacking mag sorc its pretty tough to beat this build in a 1v1 unless you playing a mag dk or stam warden. Maybe magplar also. These players have to he top tier to survive the damage and pressure.

    If you dont have a cleanse you arent winning against this build unless you can shield stack forever and in a dueling tourney the person with most pressure wins fight so you would be fine there

    Plus i dont think you have won over 5 dueling tourneys just in the last 5 months like i have. Im well respected in game I doubt anybody knows who you are :#

    It also allows 1 pug spamming encase to ensure you cannot do anything but get beat on

    Hm maybe you should avoid forums if you too dumb to realize this is a dueling build. Not a 1vx why would someone 1vx with double snb LOL get a clue bro

    That actually is a solid idea. What traits are you running on shackle and what on earth are you doing to avoid the CC spam?

    All impen armor and impen shields. Break free. You can break free anytime with this build and never run out. Promise.

    You also have major mending at a faster rate than usual since black rose gives back 800 magicka and stam every 4 seconds.( 1090 if you run 7 heavy ) so your health should never remain low

    Oh man I’ve got some bad news for you.

    With the way the break free action and CC immunity got changed in the last patch that just went live, this is true for pretty much every build.

    Yes but no gap closer. Unless maybe fighting maglblade with shadow.

    I dont use gap closers in duels but it can be helpful in execution phase when people try to escape.

    Can confirm, faced a couple of DK's today in Battlegrounds on my medium stam sorc.
    Between chains, Stonefist, Talons and Snares, moving felt impossible.

    Honestly hate playing against DK's more than any other class.

    with one stam recovery glyph and serpent mundus i wouldnt think thats 3.8k weapon dmg. Im NB but I wear shackle and spriggans with 2 weapon dmg glyphs and worrior mundus and a weapon dmg glyph on weapon, and bufed up its only 3.3k

    sounds like that setup would be like 3k buffed.. maybe im wrong?

    Did the math, and if you give the build the benefit of the doubt in having every possible buff up
    Infused Weapon Damage Enchant, Major and Minor Brutality, Continuous attack, Offensive Scroll Bonus, 2 Medium armour, 1 Piece Kena and Velidreth, and Nirnhoned Front Bar
    It will hit 3.9k weapon damage.

    But given that you aren't always going to have those buffs, it looks like you'd sit at about 2.9k weapon damage.

    Im at 3400 consistently my weapon dmg glyph on back bar is what goves the extra but that is on my back bar so its not consistent. I also believe black rose weapon and spell dmg is calculated with your attacks and doesnt show on stat sheet. I can be wrong though
