I just started playing ESO again after a few years, and I am working on a new character. I am going for a Stamina DPS build with a Nord DK. Right now, I have a two handed weapon for my primary, with the following skills on bar 1: Stone Giant III, Volatile Armor IV, Dizzying Swing IV, Green Dragon Blood IV, Momentum III, and Standard of Might III for ultimate. Backup bar (definitely needs work), I have a one handed sword and shield with the following slotted skills: Searing Strike IV, Volatile Armor IV, Flame Lash III, Dark Talons IV, Ransack III, and Magma Shell III for ultimate. Currently level 39.

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated! I'm loving getting back into the game, and any helpful advice would be great. Thanks in advance for any help!

    I'm a Nord DK too! I've been struggling to find a good rhythm in the class but there's a few things I've found. Reverse Slash and Brawler are the standard skills for 2H, especially if you're soloing a lot. Inhale's kinda cool too, especially if you pull a lot. IMO, your backbar should be bow if you're going DPS. There's some good DOTs in that skill like that'll add to your DPS. At level 39, I'd just focus on leveling your skill trees and stick to the build guide for stamina DPS in the game.

    Also, which DK skills do you normally slot on front and/or back bar?

    It's called Skill Advisor or something like that. You just go to your skills menu and there should be an option to use the advisor. Which platform?

    Right now, I'm using the following
    2H: Brawler, Venomous Claw, Reverse Slash, Inhale, Volatile Armor, Ferocious Leap
    Bow: Molten Weapons, Endless Hail, Lethal Arrow, Green Dragon Blood, Flames of Oblivion, Standard of Might

    It's by no means a good build, but I'm experimenting. Best resource for good builds is Alcast or Xynode, IMO.
