Mag dk vs Stam dk u35

gamma71

I feel my mag dk is lackluster with the dot changes and whip nerf. Thinking of going back to Stam any opions on this?

I'm not a stam dk main so I very well could be the problem. But I geared out my stam dk and am very tanky with great healing, but the damage is underwhelming. Again, I could just suck at dk, but I've noticed that other stam dks are not doing a ton of damage either.

For a long time now, my stam DK seems inferior to my Mag DK. Probably because only 2 DK skills are stamina. Whip, Coag and most of the other key DK skills are magicka. I have rarely played my stam DK (my first PvP player and my only Grand overlord) in the last year.
So you can run the Stam DK but just adjust it so it has more magicka and Mag regen than stamina

So adjust it so it has more mag and mag Regen than Stam 😆 I see what you did there.

Well, I rehabbed my StamDK recently who had been just cooking for a while with an Oakensoul build and he does OK in everything

Oakensoul + 4 pieces of Eternal Vigor (could be whatever - flex set) + 5 pieces of Rushing Agony + 2 pieces of Domihaus.

Skills are:

• Molten Whip
• Noxious Breath
• Stampede
• Burning Talons
• Coagulating blood

With the Standard of Might Ultimate.

Great trash killer, just OK on bosses, tanky self-healer and no resource issues thanks to the 3/2 stam'magicka skill mix.

Works for me. YMMV.

How's it in pvp that's mainly my focus.

Haven't tried it in pvp. I used to do pvp a lot--like almost exclusively--years ago but haven't for a long while except for an event here and here. I'm just a filthy casual pver now

Master Flurry weapon, spin-to-win, and Plague Breaker is working well in PVP aoe fights, but any class can run that set-up. Mainly having a status effect on your target helps proc Occult Overload.

Save your Whip for burst with Ulty. I mean this is pretty standard faire I thought.
