I thought for Stamblades the general consensus was that 3x blood thirsty was bar none the highest DPS.

Any DPS increase (execute abilities, bloodthirsty, or ignoring mechanics) means that this part of the fight is shorter. In my experience 3 bloodthirsty results on around 5-6% damage increase on average, when compared to healthy or no traits. It’s about equivalent to Arcane for Magicka DPS and Infused for Stamina DPS.

5 - 6% Damage or 5 - 6 % DPS increase on total?

Yes, both. Average damage over any set amount of time.

I think that is actually the best class to run Bloodthirsty on. They don’t get any multipliers on Max Magicka or Spell Damage, so it is the worst class for Arcane or Infused. The lack of an execute means that DK’s will typically spend more time in the execute phase than other classes, so they benefit most from Bloodhtirsty. Additionally, the current Meta of Zaan + Elfbane means a significant portion of MagDK damage comes from a damage proc (which is not affected by Max Magicka, Spell Damage or Crit, but does benefit from % damage increased bonuses).

@WrathOfInnos - I’m confused. What do you mean that we don’t benefit from spell damage or arcane? When i increase my spell damage on my jewelry (via spell dmg glyphs)- my whip/leap increases significantly.

Only that Elf Bane is not meta. xD Try BSW/Siroria or run one of these with the perfected AS Staff. Both yield much higher damage.

Elf bane is super useful to people like me who have a hard time sustaining on a magdk. Plus you can run bsw with if and still put out great damage.
And In case you didn't know, elf bane adds 2 ticks to zaan, which do get the extra 50% damage too. I have seen like 23k ticks with full buffs and debuffs.

Just use balance. Then your sustain issues are gone.
And I did know. It's still outperformed by other setups.

I think it's safe to call a build "meta" when it's Alcast's main build guide. https://alcasthq.com/eso-magicka-dragonknight-build-pve/

Ever thought that maybe Alcasts builds are not always the best setup there is? He has more than 20 chars. Of every class. And while he is indeed a very good player, he can't play everything perfectly. How should he?
And his MagDK build is more than subotpimal, sry not sry. I main a MagDK, tested on the PTS for hours and trust me Elf Bane is NOT a good set.
But anyway if you want to spend all your AP or Gold on the Elf Bane Staff go ahead.

Alcast himself said that his builds are not catered to hardcore meta players, they're mostly focused for your average Joe hence they're not always meta. Hardcore players don't need builds, they make them.
