THE DK IS SAVED!!!

BrentBlemish

I'm really honestly very very happy about the changes to the DoTs on the DK. OMG. Thank you @ZOS_GinaBruno and @ZOS_RichLambert and @ZOS_JessicaFolsom and anyone who is responsible for this adjustment! Maybe @ZOS_Gilliam ? idk! im just so happy the class ive been playing for 3 years still stands!

The DK community is responsible for these adjustments.

And also the general community for the damage increase of other various DoTs of other classes.

We tested, we spoke, ZOS listened.

I may actually use stone giant now for that additional damage🤘🏻

Oh.. you already did...

It is nice to see that at least this. Other classes are not that vocal on forums. Look at Werewolf for example. An niche mini-class not vocal enough to be listened....

Yes thank you ZOS, my favorite class is back and I can still enjoy its identity as a DoT play style. Gonna keep using maelstrom weapons which makes rotation much more fun.

Good job guys

Gunzork

Dots should have been like this from PTS week 1. As for the rest of the changes, yes, I agree, thanks to whoever made these changes I realized that stamDK's power fantasy is to be a rock throwing cave troll.

Who would like to be a class specializing in using poisonous flames, venomous claws, martial arts and such lame , boring stuff, when you can THROW A ROCK AT THEM!

Finally good changes much Thanks for this, Just this Combustion Passives need an Update. I mean Burning immunity on Dunmer rly Sucks coz i know how much Dunmers around Cyrodiil.

Isn't there still one more round of patch notes to come down the pipe next week, or was this the last one before the actual patch goes live?

I dont wanna be the negative nancy, but if you guys actually compared tooltips to live version you would notice that this patch is still nerfing DK, maybe slightly less than some other classes and the sustain from combustion is nice and really nice if you build around it, but all in all the only thing that received a slight buff in dmg this patch is banner.
Currently with the same gear ember is like 20k over 12s on live vs 15k over 14s on pts, engulfing 10.7k over 12s on live vs 11.7k over 14s on pts.
And with the bugfix you also lost the 10% increase on direct dmg of ardent abilites.

Really dont wanna sound negative, but the truth is, overall it's still a nerf

it's fine. my green claw DoT is 23k. bad breath is 15k. before major+minor brutality. that can't be nice.

no idea. would love to have 1 more pass, but then there's risk it'll be a nerf too.

DK is definitely looking a lot better than week 1, but yea let's get super excited about doing less damage at a much higher cost...

Austinseph1

Somehow I feel like dk is getting away with highway robbery and we could be nerfed any second if they notice it’s actually good XD I’m really happy with the changes it’s just that we have been kicked while we were down many times in the past. MagDK we back baby!

Suryoyo

Sustain will be bad, less damage, high cost skills, more heavy attack...

Other classes don't rely on DoTs as much as DKs do. So we're still eating a big nerf damage wise and sustain wise.

Nothing exciting about the new combustion, thinking at how much burning embers and engulfing flames miss, applying the burning status is not that easy especially against the range classes or stamina dodge rollers.

Eruption might be useful again in BG to apply the burning status to multiple people at the same time in stationary fights...

And I bet that next patch they will nerf FoO, Inhale, Burning Talons, Volatile Armor and probably dragon blood. These are untouched. Nothing to be excited about, only nerf patches are coming.

Keep ya fingers crossed. Still a couple more updates where the gurus could do anything.
