We are currently investigating issues some players are having logging into the European PC/Mac megaserver. We will update as new information becomes available.

So you can't kill DKs? 1 skills will change your life.

Go grab DW and get heated sparks or just sparks if you can't morph it. DKs do basically 100% melee damage, heated sparks makes them miss all melee attacks for 4 seconds. Use medium armor, at least 2 pieces and some decent stam regen and keep that bad boy up repeatedly. No need to block no need to roll dodge. Just throw heated sparks on your bar, whittle down their stamina to block with while they can't hit you and then just hard CC them until you can burst them down while they are on their back.

Obviously it isn't THAT easy but you get the idea. Seems pretty fool proof against melee DKs which is basically every DK and only costs you 1 skill on 1 bar.

Hope this helps.

    Lol I hope this was a sarcastic joke because otherwise I just lost some faith in humanity. If it was, well played sir. That is kind of the vibe I was going for with this post.

    No very serious and at the same time sarcastic. I am sorry for your loss of faith in humanity.

    While I agree with your anti-stereotype perspective, it's still a valid strategy.

    I'm not going to use it either though, I hate DW. ;)
    This one has an eloquent and well thought out response to tha... Ooh sweetroll!

    Ummm, use your stamina (highest stam cost of any DW ability) to "whittle down their blocking stamina", which the DK gets huge bonuses to (lowered costs, higher block percentages, etc) especially if they have S&S. The math does not add up here...you will be out of stamina far sooner than they will, and still being hurt by many DK abilities which don't have a hit chance.

    If I'm not mistaken OP, it works on melee attacks as in weapon attacks or physical attacks. It does not work on spells like Lava whip for example or any other class spell.

    edit- besides that, it's the DKs unlimited health pool that's the issue.

    Use light attacks to whittle them down. You also have magicka to use...

    All melee attacks which include class abilities that are physical damage from melee range.

    Basically, every single target ability that cant be reflected is a melee attack

    Yep...

    Step 1. Create a gimped build for the sole purpose of trying to kill a single class just to get killed by the other 3 classes while you're aimlessly wandering around Cyrodiil looking for a solo DK.

    Step 2. Come to the forums and complain that NB's are gimped. Be sure to post that you're using a full stamina build and using skills which nobody else uses because that always helps to make your case.

    Step 3. Blame ZOS for saying "Play how you want" because you wanted to play naked, fight bare handed, and use the 5 skills with the prettiest effects and you can't seem to beat any of the content.

    Sounds like typical ESO player logic.

    This has nothing to do with DKs for me, I have no problems killing them on my Sorc. This was for allot of people on the forums who use DW and Bow who can't kill DKs. An easy way to keep yourself alive and do some solid damage is with heated sparks.

    Not a single NB has talked or cried on this post besides the guy who said he wont use Bow or DW which should mean you dont have trouble killing DKs anyways

    Why you brought up people complaining their build isnt good enough and that ZOS "needs to fix the game so they can be competitive with the good players"

    This post was for the people who use DW and cant kill DKs or any physical damage enemy. If it doesn't help you dont bother commenting. I was merely showing there are options to make the build viable in PvP

    Heated blades works very well against all melee attackers and whip is indeed affected by it.

    I run a build which uses it a lot and have no problem taking out a 1H/S DK.
