I’ve been having a blast with my Stam DK in battlegrounds. I can’t get 3.5k weapon damage, 30k resists, 35k health with 1800 Stam recovery with an ultimate to use every other 15 seconds on any other spec.

We’ve got access to major mending, debuffs, inherent tankiness, some of the best ults and dot’s... We are slow, which is the main con. But if that’s a massive issue, use speed pots.

Now, as a stamDK you gain 3300 spell resistance and %5 weapon damage from minor brutality, do explain what do these stats have to do with stamDk? Do we have special gear that other classes aren't allowed to use?

you can have all the resist and hp and wd and recovery (fury,7L,skeleto,mighty) , but to kill you have DOTS and? Dizzying Swing? Downbreaker?
No class spawn skill

Explain to me, what I'm asking is, Which part of those comes from stamDK itself?

3300 spell resist, yes.
%5 weapon damage, yes.

The rest?

That’s how Stam builds work dude.

Why’s that so hard to understand?

Implying other classes can not get as much hp, stam regen or weapon damage as a stamDK is a lie , which was my point.

do you even understand the argument though? I do realize stamina mostly gets carried by sets, but at the same time stamDk doesn't really have good passives or anything.

I run 5 Bone Pirate 5 Veiled Heritance 2 Bloodspawn

3 is actually flex spot on back bar so most times I run other skills there.

It's the character I've been playing the longest, but seems so weak in comparison to the others (see highlighted in signature). I really struggle both to kill people and stay alive, despite relatively good stats. At first I thought I had not practice enough, but after a few days of playing both BGs and Cyrodiil somethings really seems amiss. For example I picked my Stamina NB that I hadn't played in more than 2 months, and it really ticked after about 10 minutes when I started to get kills one after another. Or my Magicka DK that has been able to kill people easily and win her first DM BG in PvE gear before I actually got her PvP one. The 2nd worst character is the Magicka Templar, also a character I've played quite a lot in the past.

Sylosi is a mag DK that thinks he’s a Stam DK.

Stamina anything is painfully boring.. And imo Templars were way worse than DK..

After the DK class was stripped of almost everything that made it unique with armor, other classes, and skills open to everyone having traits of our old skills that we lost; I've recently played again and was reminded how boring this class is.

Stamina DK in particular is the most boring as there's little to no skills that are available to this aspect of the class in regards to PvP. I got back on from a hiatus due to those feelings piling up but I decided to give lagghyem a try when I rekindled this unwanted feeling. Reminiscing about the good ol days where my class had a unique skill-set (some hard to notice and others you'd see right away i.e FoO) it just made me decide to log right out.

Any other Stamina DKs feeling this kind of thing in PvP as of late?

Edit: People seem to think this thread is about me being bad in PvP or at-least implying that. Just wanna say as an old school PvPer with over 100k AvA kills... my skills aren't the issue, the class is just boring. I've mained this class since the days where PvP was at-least play-able at prime time and dark anchors were actually tough. I enjoy the DK class but just can't stand the way it is now especially when we had better skills way back then.
Also please skew down the anecdotal statements you use to justify a narrative your pushing.

My main is a Stam DK and yes, it's boring in PvP (and PvE, frankly). It's mostly weapon skills plus spiked armor, reflective scales. That's it. Maybe venomous claw.

Because the person he was responding to added the caveat of "than any other spec"....

You can run that setup on a stamsorc or stamden and get 10 times the mileage out of it. That is the point.

Boring doesnt mean not effective. If You dont like playstyle of tank that is doing damage then just switch to something else. To be honest stamina dk was always boring now it's just not childlishly easy as it was at some point where You could just run full dmg setup and sustain perfectly fine plus tank multiple players easily.

Lately I've seen few people bringing back this old ways by properly using meditate skill.
