Staff dk, blah.

But very good playing m8 congatz.i will add to the resource management another 100 points more than our friend above because you are NOT a noobshieldstacing hmm? Noob.

p.s

Before you templars/nightblades/sorcs start cry and post on the forum thos videos as an excuse for "DK'S Are op need to be nerfed"
I suggest you making an OP DK And then try to do what this guy does.
Then you might realize that all your classes can do that to if you know how to play and then you will reach to the conclusion...YOU CANT DO IT BUT YOUR CHAR CAN DO IT.

Ps 2

After all this crying templar got a winbutton,blazing shield.
Start crying DK's we have a chance to get a win button ourselves.

Whose crying as a Templar. We are prolly the most OP of all now.

@‌ Hova

Nice vid! Was epic fighting you guys last night. I typically enjoy going after you guys ebcause you are always a very difficult fight but we had a personal vendetta against DiE

Anonymous One/Zanini/DiE and crew... hell of fights last night. Some really really epic ones.

BTW Oniric is > all your DKs even that BBQ guy. Although I was sad not to see Mrs Jones last night.

May I ask what kind of gear you're running? I know DKs have a ton of stamina regen with your ult passive, Green Dragonblood and whatnot but you seem to have a full bar pretty much all the time.

Are you running 5x heavy + 2-3x block glyphs etc? And which sets?

I'm not really the type to share my build and try to spawn a bunch of mini Hova's. But try using more earthen heart abilities they seem to give back 5% max stamina with each cast

I don't even have a DK, my main is a Templar and only alt i spend any time on is a NB. I'm just curious about your resource management.

Usually my fights against reasonably skilled people end when either me or my oponents run out of stamina, and you seem to just not do that.

Ah well not going in depth with my gear, the key to my stamina management is my dk skills and passives. I'm using earthen heart skills to return stamina instantly, green dragon blood to keep my stam regen sky high (it increase stam regen by a percentage), and also my ultimate regens stamina. I just cycle through those appropriately, to keep my stamina near full at all times.

Ive been experimenting with this stamina management focused build in this video for a little bit.

Also, when the [snip] did they add break free cost reduction to heavy armor? I only just noticed that a few weeks ago.

Couple patches ago? They've been desperately trying to make Heavy Armor relevant, which is commendable, but always falling short.

Heavy Armor remains the 'if only' armor set. It's got a few nice things going for it now, if only it were better. If only the stam/magicka return from getting hit were more. If only it provided better mitigation. If only you didn't give up so much damage/magicka regen for a mild increase to survivability.

If only.

Yesssir Blazing 4 dayz.... Was Ricardo(Braidas) joking? We had a nice lil shield off the other day.... I tried adding streaking to my build but the synerjizz was not there.

Armitas · October 2014

It's nice to see other builds in action for the DK besides just S/B. I used to use staff myself but switched over to S/B a few weeks ago because I could serve my small group and protect them better this way. I miss doing things differently than everyone else but there are some variations to S/B to make it somewhat different though not ostensibly.

I'm always trying new things with my build. They made respeccing so cheap, so why not.

Personally I found mrs. Jones' double resto build super interesting during the frag shield era. But I don't think it's viable anymore.

I had been using 2h/destro for awhile testing some stuff. And it was pretty awesome, just not for 1vX. Only very organized group play.

Frag Shields just ain't what it used to be.

I'm running 1H/Resto myself, but we already talked a bit about what I do with my setup that allows that.

I've done the Resto/Destro thing before in the past, just... blargh.

I really hate how Impulse is split off to use Weapon Damage, whereas nearly every other defining ability that the DK has is going to be relying on their spell damage, preventing you from focusing and specializing.

I already know your gear setup, so I'll reveal it to everyone --

1x Gimp Mask

1x Latex Rubber Gloves

Accessories are:
1x Ball Gag
2x Fuzzy Pink Handcuffs

Oh, and the chest piece is:
1x Formless Burqa (to hide it all)

I think the key to trying to be the best is the push the envelope on builds. Rather than just using what other people use, trying to figure out something op on your own.

There will undoubtedly be a bunch of DKs in Cyrodiil tonight with their bars set up like mine wondering why they're getting owned.

I appreciate your unique 1h/resto build though. Putting that mind to use

Hey, I at least tried to be a little different. I was tired of the impulse spam train concept. I did it for weeks on Dawnbreaker and Chillrend.

I am really hoping to see a shakeup in the meta soon. Firebat DKs are just... overused at the moment. I think it's my natural desire to rebel against that meta that made me build the way I did.

I think ZOS really needs to make a concerted pass at skill line balance with 1.5. I'm not holding out hope, but I do think that's what's needed.

Yeah I respect that. I think being the first to think of the next best build is the only way to stay ahead of your real competition. That's why I don't normally like making videos, but this video was me in a test build so no big secrets lost

And firebats are the best counter to zerglings.

Yeah, I know. It does remarkably well vs the zergs.

The problem is that the build is very susceptible to lag, which is prevalent on Thornblade. A couple of the major abilities just don't work right in a very laggy environment.

I've had better showings, I just took the first 1vX clip of that night to make a video since a certain ego filled DK challenged I couldn't do anything near the same as him with the same build or a different build.
