Do'Liftin's Hybrid Dk v3.0 with 3v9+ and 1vX Gameplay

SkysOutThizeOut

Version 3.0 of my Hybrid Dk build progression. There are 2 clips. A 3v9+ and a 1vX. I try to bring solid fights, legitimate constant fighting in my videos. Hope you all enjoy.

The only thing I don't get is that you appear to not have a source of major sorcery even though all of your abilities are magicka based.

@Conduit0 you see rally though, which tells you I’m using pelinials. Dk gets major and minor brutality, 30%.

I didn't even think about Pelinal's Aptitude, nice.

Brilliant build, well executed game-play. Very nice.

Seeing the progression of this build from one video to the next has been great! Keep it up.

@Warpig6Delta and what is pleasantly surprising, but retrospectively disappointing is that they are stronger than my mag dk's of old, minus the ele drain. This build could have been ran a year ago...

Vapirko

Good stuff! Cool location in the first clip.

Is there a written build?

Would it work for pve too for example vet CoS? I like playing build in pvp and pve because of muscle memory. Therefor i dont do harder content as CoS

@HansProlo sure it would work. Not ideal. You need someone to provide major breach unless you just want to run a destro staff and drop dw which would be really good. Also need to find a different set or way of getting WD and sustain besides seventh. 😉 in this newest vid I’ve dropped seventh legion. A post about my version 1 explains the concept. Which is transferable to light. I use hybrid to make up for deficiencies in healing on dk and to give myself an extra bar space. Rally is an insane HoT and gives me major sorc with pelinial. And we get Minor as well cus of or passive. With hardly any effort we achieve higher spell damage than any viable open world dk could hope to, with better recovery/sustain. But whatever we invest cp wise is invested fully in line with mag damage here. Don’t try hybrid damage, it’s hybrid healing we are really after (unless bleeds).

Understanding the above will help you to theory craft your own.

@SkysOutThizeOut Do you do any BGs with your builds? Do you make any adjustments if so?

Also, have you had any success with hybrids on other classes? Was thinking that one of the biggest weaknesses atm of magblade is the lack of a decent burst heal... Rally makes up for that... Of course, unlike DK, there's no snare removal on the class baseline, which is not so great heh.

Thanks for sharing, but where’s a write up on the build? I have a DK alt I use for pve tanking and want to try pvp with, but don’t know where to start.

although the build is different now, the original build guide @ https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/448910/drizzt-do-liftins-medium-armor-hybrid-dk-the-stam-whip-build-the-stam-whip-we-ve-all-wanted/p1 has a lot of the details on how to make the build work and along with this post you can probably come up with a good variant for your DK

Solariken

Lol at the Time Freeze + Standard ult combo. That's downright savage.

This build is totally different to your first version. You have no stam damage skills. Are you wearing light armor now and full magicka?
Pelinals for just rally?
Which set are you testing now next to pelinals? Spell strategist?

@HansProlo I’m stacking weapon damage still. In duels I’ll do master dw too and blood craze. I use quick cloak. Sometimes I’ll do vigor instead of draw essence. It depends. I don’t show duels because I think they’re boring. I could do rev slice instead of embers or engulfing, but I did that I’d go medium to have more overall wd and sd. That would have more success in non cp. require different distribution in mag/stam.

But people need to stop thinking hybrid in terms of damage. They need to think of it in terms of healing and utility. The former is what has prevented successful hybrid builds.

I show these and provide the reasoning and concept so people who know their class can develop something that works and is unique for them.

@Solariken I had to. There was no other way we were going to beat that. I had to counter snare and stun them.

Unfortunately that group has wised up and is more cautious to engage and also has slotted timestop lol.... 😒

Which one is your new favoured 2nd set?
What would you recommend for stats? 80% magicka 20% stamina?

SkysOutThizeOut

@HansProlo I’d recommend what you like. What’s comfortable for you. For cp I only do 2 points into stam. I’m thinking about doing 10 more for no cp. All prismatic glyphs.
