Self healing as stam

worrallj

As a stam dk, I believe I'm supposed to be pretty tanky. But in truth I have a heck of a time healing through damage from 1 player let alone 2. My vigor only ticks at about 2k per tick which is just not enough when actively getting beat on. I'm running spriggans and pariah ... Do I need a healing set instead of spriggans or should I be able to keep it and heal better somehow?

Dorkener

For DK specifically:
- stack as much WD as possible, you have minor brutality and healing taken baked into your passives, WD scales really well
- dump penetration, use corrosive armor (full pen + don't die all in one button). Battle roar plays a big role in DK sustain and survival, consider getting some +ult gen into your build instead.
- use cauterize. its cheap and scales (very well) with your highest offensive stat.
- refresh your rally before engaging, it might save your life 15 secs later I'm guilty of letting this drop off in the heat of combat, which is a big no-no

What Dorkener said.

Stam DK has some of the best healing in the game imo. Between major and minor brutality, major mending, your healing tooltips should be fairly high. As others have said, drop spriggans.

Larcomar

Spriggans and pariah are both good sets but they dont give you any real wep damage to boost heals. Plus as Dorkener says, you've got corrosive for pen anyway.

I wouldn't slot a healing set, just maybe swap spriggans out for a set with wpn dmg bonuses + if you're haven't already, switch your wep trait to charged; you should be able to switch out any recovery glyph you're running for a damage glyph givign you a bit more. e

Deadric trickery is another good set you could swap out pariah for.
