[PvP] StamDK and MagDK PTS testers: What's your build plan if PTS goes live as is?

Just curious. Now that "DoT is nerfed but DK not nerfed so bad so its actually a buff", 20% Deadly Strike set, and "Dizzing Swing R.I.P.", the whole sky is falling expectation here in the forum.... what's your plan next?

PS: 5th option (I don't know what to say) means I don't know to put DoT or DD in the Light Armor poll option. It doesn't mean YOU (the voter) don't know what to do. Anyway. Sorry, eh?

    I assume you are meaning PvP because otherwise this wouldn't make sense

    Light armor, Bright-Throat x Crafty Alfiq probably, Will be a build that uses DoT and DD as always... not much has changed everything just hurts a lot less.

    btw... there's a Light Armor option there. why u pick "Something else"? lol


    Curious though, why u said it wouldn't make sense if it's PvE?

    Are the BiS for PvE doesn't change? Med build with Relequen, full-on DoT?

    Because I know what to say :smile: , the option applies I don't know what to say

    And because if you are mag you use light armor and if you are stam you use medium armor, dps doesn't use heavy armor in PvE, also the reliance of DoTs on PTS is completely underwhelming with the amount of weak damage they are using, so it's a cross between DoT and DD with a favor of DD over time ( aka mag sorc )

    I’ll probably stick with what I’m doing now at first. Bsw/sun or shackle. If I feel I’m not as successful I’ll try different things until I’m happy.

    MagDK - shalks, jorvlund and bloodspawn in either 1H-6L or 1H-1M-5 light. Resto or an Ice Staff and DW BRP DW on my back bar. MagDK healer.

    I’m also considering some funky setups with willpower and 7L. I’ll need to play test some stuff to figure it out:

    Dot build with Valkyn Skoria to have some built-in burst. Light armor, might seem strange but that's because inexperienced players do not know how good Buffer of the Swift is.

    Direct Damage burst. Heavy armor.
    I'm not sure if I will play but just in case I have a few builds in mind:

    I think the most optimal way to play would be heavy armor dps sets(fury-truth?probably bis for all stamina?) with a combination of dizzying swing and stonefist.

    Instead of spending the off-balance for sustain and stun, keeping it for damage increase and getting your stun from, well... Poop fist.

    At least thats what seems like the best in slot in my opinion. I don't think stonefist is weak as a spammable however its definitely one that I dislike a lot.

    I'm liking my 7th still since i always put on Volatile armor so it's more consistent than Fury.

    but maybe I'll farm Truth too though.

    I'm planning to close shut the marble jaws of Oblivion.

    Efficient levelling is even less tedious than trying DK right now.
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    Yeah for stamina builds it is. For magicka it's called playing hard mode, imo.

    I voted something else, because I frequently swap between heavy and light on all my magicka characters.

    I'm still not sure this new moon is worth it... Sustain is already gonna be a bit of nightmare 😫 I'll definitely theory build once it is on build editor... I'm not sure it will tempt me away from amber plasm, and shacklebreaker. As I can build so much damage around these sets and not worry about sustain(pre dragonhold).
