    If you care about damage you wouldn't be using Deep Breath anyway.

    Well that goes without saying.
    Politeness is respecting others.
    Courage is doing what is fair.
    Modesty is speaking of oneself without vanity.
    Self control is keeping calm even when anger rises.
    Sincerity is expressing oneself without concealing ones thoughts.
    Honor is keeping ones word.

    I understand that DK's are just fine in PVP but in PVE they clearly underperform compared to other classes that have sustain, execute, crit, crit damage, and resources built into their passives. DK's abilities also cost way more than other classes which doesnt make since to me.

    The problem is that it's ONLY a burst heal, the resto staff and nearly every other class has a much better burst heal which does other things besides heal. Also do you really need a combustion proc as a healer?

    It also procs the Earthen Heart passives with the ability restoring stamina for more dodge rolls in emergencies, gives your group minor brutality to help the stam DPS, and generates 3 ultimate upon cast with a 6 second cooldown on that ult gen.

    And when playing a healer any and all magicka return helps keep your group alive. Why my magDK healer throws down a Flame Wall of Elements or Engulfing Flames into a large group of enemies. Adds to the DPS of the dungeon/trial group and has a chance to restore much needed magicka for your healing and support spells.

    Ok but MagDK DPS doesnt really have good sustain to be honest unless theres ads to kill for the siphoning strikes CP passive. Other than that the sustain is horrible and 500 Magicka back from burning isnt noticable at all. It should be more than that or we get magicka back per tick like the Original Post on here said

    StamDk is probably the worst class you can choose to play at the moment. For magDK it is enough that you have Burning Spellweave set and you are able to achieve high dps in PvP and PvE.
    But bad sustain and low dps make playing in this class simply terrible. Especially StamDK needs a lot of fixes. For any other class, I don't have to use weapon skills, etc. so much. If someone thinks Dizzy is spamskill, he is wrong, there is no worse skill, and his dps is small in relation to other skills, and he has disadvantages on pvp by cast time.

    I played for years on StamDK, he was my main, but I changed him to MagDK, even an orc on magick does more than on stamina
    - Where "Update on Cyrodiil Performance & Upcoming AOE Tests"? I wish ZOS would stop kicking players' balls, especially those on Cyro

    The only thing that connects them is a function of "delayed burst" which works great for a combo but that is all. So it would be better to compare this skill to for example "sap essence", which is more similar skill.

    Why would you compare it to sap essence? Sap essence is an AoE spammable. If you spam deep breath all you do is shoot yourself in the foot in terms of damage.

    But the skills are comparable in terms of radius, costs, function & damage - the only difference is that Sap Essence could be spammed while Dragon Breathe need to be interjected with other skills.

    But at the end what could give bigger punch? Pushing three times Sap Essence or using Dragon Breathe with Ardent Flame skills?
