Hey thanks for the tips I am very happy with my dk now

So I have been reading the posts in this section even asked a question and did what people sort of advised bought fortified brass to rise my resistances with hardened armor i am near 50% mitigation snb, i did a respec for more stamina to rize my damage that before was 350-400 light attacks, i did not know damage scaled with stamina, so now i am using fortified brass and battlefield acrobat that I got from rewards for the stamina regen and one 2 h purple axe for the bleed, infused with bonus set weapon damage, changed the mudus stone to the thief and yesterday did my first battleground to try it out and switching to 1 h and shield I was able to withstand 3 people attacking until they got tired and changed target, well I was almost able to do it twice but got killed the second time, I sort of paniked. Then I was able to kill a player with the 2 h axe what was unthinkable before I made the changes. I left out the bow out first because I forgot and I do not have enought skill points to maximize its damage.
Now i am farming Dregur king slayer for the weapon damage and the major brutality buff, I just lack the Nightcaller mace and plan, plan in the furture, get mighty chudan so do 5 fortified brass 5 DKS 2 mighty chudan then the stamina regen will be very weak but maybe changing lord stone to the one of stamina regen or maybe with the 3 jewlery i will do, I think that completing a veteran dungeon at the moment is unthinkable if the group is not very good and can do it with 3 i mean. Then If i get the mask i plan to remove two habilities from the bar, hardened armor and rally and put molten whip and another ardent flame abilty to rize my weapon damage, molten whip damage will still be very low but I think I that my dizing swing and reverse slash will do way more damage with the molten whip weapon damage buff.
Just for geting to cp 160 i think it is a start, killing someone on bg was to much compared on what i was used to.
I don't know maybe is a very bad build but i want to be able to use it for tanking dungeons that I found out I like very much too. The problem is the higher stamina and low health 25k with food does not go well with tanking dungeons but i don't like having to respec each time i want to change activity, i just don't have the money, I have no problem on easy dungeons thanks to the close 50% mitigation but if the healer is not good I suffer a little bit.
I have yet to try how DKS and fortified brass fare together in bg but i guess that even with stamina regen jewlery it will be still to weak.
Well if someone wants to give me some more tips I will be very thankful.

1, make your race nord or orc
2. put all 64 attribute points into stamina
3. get to CP 160
4. get undaunted lvl 9 and spec all passives
5. spec all medium armor passives and the first three passives in heavy/light
6. craft shacklebreaker heavy chest, light belt, medium gloves, medium boots, medium legs
7. make all pieces impenetrable
8. get blood spawn medium helm and shoulder set to impenetrable
9. make your armor at least purple quality. Armor should have stamina enchants. Make legs/head/chest have tri-stat prismatic defense glyphs.
10. get a jewelry and weapon set loadout that gives you damage. a good starter set would be 7th legion or veiled heritance.
11. retrait the jewelry to a mix of protective and infused. infused weapon damage and protective stam recovery
12. make front bar weapon a 2H maul nirnhoned and GOLD this item
13. make your backbar a sword and shield. sword can be set to defending trait. shield to impenetrable. gold these items.
14. put double dot poisons on the sword and board bar
15. put a disease enchant on your 2H maul
16. use a good pvp food like artaeum takeaway broth or longfin pastry
17. get a good mundus like serpent for stam recovery, warrior for dmg, or steed for speed/health
19. make your 2H bar as follows: noxious breath, executioner, forward momentum, hardened armor, cauterize, take flight ult
20. make your sword and board bar: heroic slash, reverb bash, vigor, venom claw, frag shield, corrosive armor ult

enter into battlegrounds. apply frag shield, cauterize, vigor, forward momentum to get your buffs up. approach your enemy and apply noxious breath. bar swap and snare them with heroic slash and apply venom claw. stun them with reverb bash and when they get below 50%, use executioner. apply corrosive as an offensive/defensive skill or use leap for spike dmg.

always remember: only you can prevent forest fires

With PvP-ish skill and gear layout and reactive playstyle, you can easily solo version 1 dungeons in vet. So helms of those can get you started.

Thanks for answering.
That is a master class.
Well He is an Orc and got to cp 160 recently. I thoought that I should change to medium armor if i wanted to do damage, I have to respec anyway.
The shacklebreaker set I cannot craft it yet but i can buy it, I will try to farm some of the damage sets or buy some I will buy the maul when i have more clear what is better if having the weapon damage when recieving damage or doing it and get the jewlery from psijic portals.
I changed the mundus to warrior, I realized that with such a big stamina pool I do with much less stamina regen.
I have some 3 stat food I will buy some artaeum takeaway for the great occasions but it is a bit too expenseve for me at the moment.
One thing I can do and did is the bars and thanks for the explained rotation It looks very good, by just changing the bars and reading how to fight I feel more prepared.
I have been hit very hard, with those changes will i get to do those 10k damage hits that i recived in the battlegrounds?
I will try to do some easy veteran dungeon and get those helms first great idea I just felt that with my current gear I could not do it.
Thank you very much those where great tips!
