Inferno Staff Heavy Attack DK Build PVE - Help?

Building a heavy attack DK. I know HA has been nerfed. But is it still capable of hitting at least 32k?

What sets should I run besides elegance. Was also thinking about running Molag Kena as monster helm.
1k cp account. So, I was going to put max into Staff and Master at Arms as priorty elborn, elemental expert, nothing into Thaurmaturge.

Fire staff ocorse with 3nd set being MS.2nd set is where I really need help.


Help Please?

    No. elegant, spinners, 1 Domihaus, and 1 Illambris (or whatever gives you more magicka). Destro and it’s passisves. Max cp into staff expert. Hits hard. particularly ele Drain, heavy attack out of stealth. Run this as a gank build on MagDk.

    you want basic setup, dual wield + bow
    you want rending slashes, venomous claw, deadly cloak, rearming trap, noxious breath and flawless dawnbreaker on dw bar.
    bow bar should have endless hail, razor caltrops, molten armaments, poison injection, last slot can be vigor, and ultimate is standard of might

    I see this build does away with inferno staff and capitalizes on lighting staff since it triple dips into Thaumaturge, Master at Arms and and Staff Expert.

    Do staff HA's scale more from max cp or spell damage?

    @Lab3360 I've never run a MagDK, but Siroria is what I run on my Magblade. Its kind of the Swiss Army knife of magic sets. I run it with BSW or Spinners, depending on the content

    And in the name of full disclosure, I main a Stam DK and my Magblade is my second, a much less played second, so I am not as familiar with the magic builds as a stamina. I do see tons of people farming Spell Strategist, and today someone complained that it is the new meta, so might want to check that one out, too.

    Spell Strategists is definitely meta. Thats why I wont run it, to be honest

    For PvP I’m telling you, Elegant, Spinners 1 Domihaus, 1 Illabris (or similar for the max magicka). Destro/Resto. Heavy attack, stonefist, force pulse as a burst combo preferably out of stealth.

    This ain’t theory; but practice. Ran it, done it, it works. Lol.

    Heavies scale more off of max stats why you’d want to run 1Dohihaus 1 illambris (or something similar)..

    Oh then don’t run a MagDk, run a StamDK Hunding’s Spriggan’s Kra’gh’s or spawn of Mephala. DW, Bow. Geeze... if you insist on running MagDk for PvE (or running ANYTHING for ANYTHING) when in doubt run raw damage, always up the damage. Try 1 kena, 1 Balorgh, spinners, Julianos. DW Destro. Lol. Use tri-pots and be sure to spam Ele Drain and something like structured Entropy for Major Sorcery. Magicka and spell damage glyphs. Run the apprentice. Be selfish, be greedy. Kill stuff.

    Or run skoria and def put like 81 into thaum. Geeze.

    They don't scale more. They have the same 10.5 to 1 scaling as most other skills.

    Try Infallible + Undaunted Infiltrator with vMA staff. UI is medium set, so you would need to transmute jewelry. Grothdarr as monster of if you want to stay at range Skoria.
    Warning, UI staff is really pain the bum to get.

    Light and heavy staff attacks scale off spell damage plus 1/40th of your magicka. This differs from most abilities which scale off damage plus 1/10.5th. unless they nerfed it lol

    I have bad news for you. Since Summerset both Light and Heavy attacks scale in the same way as all other abilities.
