Sets like Deadly Strike on a Stamina Dragonknight

ArchMikem

Short time ago I had the bright idea of placing Deadly Strike on my StamKnight, and pairing it with Swamp Raider to create a DoT stacked build. It's pretty fun and I'm having mixed results with it (in PvP at least). I can fully buff my Toxic Barrage to 85,000 dmg over 4 seconds, and it's only Rank 1 atm. I wanted to ask though, is that like a damage cap for the ultimate? It's a very flat number, too flat considering all the buffs affecting it.

A random player in the Imp City also made me think about using Rend on the front bar for an offensive heal, not to mention it also being a DoT. I haven't morphed it yet so I haven't seen how high I can get the tooltip damage, but I'm kinda excited.

Have you used the UESP build editor before, @ArchMikem?

You can simulate builds pretty easy there by just plugging in your character build stats ... and see the stats before even trying it out on PTS or Live.

I have a themed poison stam dk, I use Deadly Strike with Sheer Venom and spin to win effectively as a spammable (whirling blades). It really is good fun.

ps, I use double dot poisons in content, so the dots really start to stack up.

Adendum:
I thought Id add for anyone not aware, spin to win can be morphed into an "execute" ability, which procs Sheer Venom, and this procs on multiple targets because spin to win has area of effect. Hence the set up. Just in case folk were not aware of how this whole thing works. You keep spin to win up at least every 5 or 6 seconds, and in between lay down your other dots and so on.

pps, its also possible to add in Cruel Flurry (Maelstrom) and use Flurry as a spammable in between spin to win, OR add in Stinging Slashes (Dragon Star) and use twin slashes as the spammable, OR Caustic Arrow for the back bar (Dragon Star). Oooor, use the Asylum duel wield and pimp spin to win even more. You can play about with it. It all helps, whatever takes your fancy.

Went back to this build over the last couple of days for a laugh, really is great fun, once all the dots get going you just watch the enemy health disappear... staying alive that long is the challenge lol. I am thinking, would Azureblight work instead of Deadly... hmmn, Deadly certainly increases all tool tips a great deal so it depends on the damage Azureblight could kick out...
