I made dot-based soloQ stamDK build, check it out :)

divnyi

Hi there! I've made a build that has 4 DoT skills + DoT proc set coupled with deadly (that buffs every skill and set here, including spammable) and maelstrom DW (buffs every dot skill in the build) and stinging slashes. Any enemy that don't run cleanses just burn to death by ticks.

It reaches 5145 WD (buffed, no-CP), so should be safe in the next patch.

Can you list the placement of the gear and traits, as well as bars? Thanks

Have an awesome just for the meme quality of the audio inserts. Very entertaining watch.

Gear is on the 0:01 of the video.

As for bars, you can click at different second of the vid to see it too, but quick overview:

Movement bar (one you generally use when you run around):
soul trap -- ranged dot, opener
chains -- ranged stun, opener
slashes -- close range best dot, opener
igneous, cauterize -- buffs you keep up

Any werewoof ulti to boost stam regen. Not used.

Aggro bar (one you use with intent to kill):

Flurry -- spammable, procs maelstrom buff
Claw -- second best dot
Spit -- AoE of choice, use it when you expect dodge to gain GCD advantage. It is also a dot, but the weakest of the 4.
Elusive -- it lasts very long and gives whooping 7s major expedition with 7 mid. Evasion protects from the hardest hitting stuff (blastbones, shalks, dawnbreaker, jabs..).
Healing -- self-explanatory

Leap -- best ulti

Thanks. Interesting looking build. No volatile armor buff, though?

Bars are stacked with other things, and I really like how buffs here are long term, and I dislike how that buff looks so I'm biased here

Having low armor is prob the main reason why this build is not so good at premades. But just major resolve wouldn't cut it I think, 7 mid is just very low base. Will see how the meta shifts next patch, maybe heavy armor bruisers will be less viable.

Also volatile morph is magica-based damage and not buffed by merciless and deadly, you would better pick the other one if you go for it.

Ah I see. I run 7 med on stamblade and stamplar, tough surviving for sure
