Great argument there. I especially liked your reasoning about how sDK can get decent sustain, how can it provided Minor Brutality without inflicting a self-nerf by using Igneous Weapons (really clever solution you've offered, I didn't think about that), how sDK can keep sustain and at the same time hold onto ultimate to drop it as tactically appropriate and not off cooldown; and oh, that's a nice point how our one-and-a-half stamina morphs is a good thing, too. Great insights all.
Not even going to argue with you, in another thread i talk about how cauterize could be used on stamDK and it would be strong and you start telling me about DK Healers like that was ever the topic. Waste of time speaking to people like you.
And fyi if you cant sustain your DK in pvp with less than 1500 regen which is decent, then L2P bro. I play DK a hell of alot, youre obviously just amateur cause theyve been strong for a while.

"I play DK a hell of a lot."
"youre obviously just amateur"
Mind, I'm not even wasting my time arguing you. I'm just ridiculing you for your complete lack of arguments, I have no intention of casting pearls and actually listening to nonsense like you've just produced. Sorry if I gave you an impression that I actually take you seriously. ^^

What can I say - next time you'll hopefully know better than to say "stamdk is okay" while imagining there's nothing out there except PvP. Don't make pointless statements if you don't want pointless conversations.

Well since the OP said he was using 2h/dw. I kind of figured it was a pvp thread cause you need a bow for the dps in pve. Do you not?

Thread's long have switched to general talk about DK spammables and issues of the class in new update. And it's called "Update 22 stamdk", which says nothing of PvP. In context, "stamdk is okay" doesn't come with "...in PvP" implied, if you're talking about PvP in particular, then do complete your thought in writing. I'd even probably agree with such narrowed statement, to a point (despite being of opinion that in PvP, nerf of wings will make sDK worse and build diversity is low, with S&B/2H being almost the only game in town).

Dont use wings cause i need the mag for my major mending, but 2h/SnB isnt the only game in town. I do use it myself but alot of DKs are running 2h/bow and fossilize and are doing very well.

You said 'dk is fine' in general - I replied in general, those are all pain points that in general aren't fine with the spec as a whole. I'm also not sure how well other builds map onto stamDK - sure you can slap on 2H/Bow, but other classes will simply do the same thing better, sDK will have issues competing with 2H/Bow stamblade or stamden. I tried, and resorted to S&B/2H. (With wings, fossilize and igneous. Talking about how stamDK doesn't have sustain issues in PvP - no wonder, with so much magicka utility on bars. But again, talk's about general spec problems.)

Well... Depends on the definition of "have to". ^^ If stamina DD in PvE wants to do competitive damage, then bow is sine qua non, sad as it is. Hail and PI are too strong. But then there's a fine difference between "competitive" and "viable". I once made a double sword & shield stamDK build as an experiment, could get ~33k dps out of it and I feel could've gotten way more. Not really competitive in any way, but you can do most content with it. Lots of things can be made to work if you need to be just decent.

sDK got more interesting this patch. The seething fury passive of molten whip also grants weapon damage, so you can double bar whip, and gain 375 WD constantly when you align your skills in the right order. I've been parsing around 80k, which is in line with stamplar and stamsorc, and just slightly behind stamblade on the 21m dummy. Stamcro and stamden are ahead of these, both parsing at roughly 85k with the same gear and decuxring the pet crit bug.
Consider that I didnt use the ultimate best ST gear, but a more convenient setup with slightly facilitated rotations to reduce my error rate.
