Opinion needed - Stam dk/ Magplar/ Necro

Eniredir

Good evening!

So I've been playing a stamden for quite a while now, and had plans to PvP and PvE with him alike. However, upon reaching cp level i have been finding it a bit one sided and boring, at least to my taste (no offense to all the stamdens out there). My main will be a stamina toon.

So, I've been working on a magicka toon as an alt, and i chose a templar. Also, i like the idea of a stam dk, mainly because of the flashy skills, but upon seeing the necro skills i'm divided.

My question goes out to you who know more about this game than I do, eheh. Should i go with a stamdk as a main and maybe a necro for magicka, or go with a necro stamina toon and keep my templar for magicka.

Thank you for your thoughts and opinions and have a good week!

You don't want stamDK unless you're a tank. I main stam DK and it is lackluster AF.

It's true though. StamDK is not in good place (speaking about PvE here) - one and a half stamina morphs make it feel bland and generic, rotation is trivial but far from engaging and rewarding, sustain is bad and nailed onto use of ultimate with rusty nails to boot, group support is tied to magicka-only tree and requires to sacrifice some of own damage to provide (and it's redundant anyway if there's a DK tank in the group), passives badly synergize with one another (nice touch to add a bit of cost reduction to three already dirt cheap skills).

There are some good sides (good survivability, plus 8m melee range instead of 5m for other classes makes surprising amount of difference in many situations), but it's drowning in the sea of drawbacks.

Been maining a StamDK since game launch, and I've probably kept on playing it just because I like the character too much, if it would have been an alt I wouldn't have touched it. The Wrathstone racial updates blew some life in it since it's a Khajiit, so I went magicka instead. So much more fun (not the best setup obviously but still great fun).

So no, my advice is to choose something other than StamDK. And my personal opinion is that most classes is more fun to play as magicka since most class skills is magicka, making it feel more unique. But that's just preference

Coming from a main stamDK since 2017, choose anything BUT stamDK.

It's so far behind stamblade, stamden and stamplar it's unreal. And it will be behind stamcer like everyone else.


Best tactic for killing a player in PVP with stamDK is to wait until they die of old age. It's really just applying DOTs after another.

Thank you for your replies guys, I had no idea that the class had that many problema.

coming from stamDK since 2014, also agree.

it's just not in a good place right now. i had switch to Magicka for awhile and it's much more fun. Yes, i switched back to Stam because it's my character's backstory, and I feel more comfortable playing it, but it won't perform like other class.

ok this is where we disagree. I had burst build with 2H and 1HS and it's pretty solid. now im rocking DoT build and while it won't be doing any 1vX anytime soon, I have no problem killing a player - even those cheesy tank build that 10 people can gank on and can't kill, I can join in, apply 4 DoT, start my rotation to apply 2 more wep-based bleed, and execute with DK Leap.
