how cute....a vamp dk using batswarm and sword and board for perma block while casting. Havent seen that in oh.......5 minutes lol (go to pvp it is disgustingly common)

If batswarm ever stops being as top of the line as it is, be prepared to QQ. Once block casting goes away, gg for everyone who flocked to sword and board for block casting and perma blocks.

With that being said (couldnt resist) props to taking down all those people by yourself. Impressive to see ZoS never does anything about balance lol Oh well, maybe this is the perfect example as to why people slowly stop pvping. It is usually the same cookie cutter builds running around everywhere making the game look horribly unbalanced.

i cant wait for block and casting to go away. Then we will see a lot of arrogant [snip] become some of the worst players in the game.

it will be entertaining

To those who say it's a build that 99% of DKs run I offer the challenge of you doing what I do on a daily basis repeatedly.

Then when you fail and blow up instantly in those large groups feel free to ask for my build and how I maintain resources through out the fights.

Yes many DKs just mash keyboards and win, I on the other hand am constantly moving and placing myself where others aren't expecting. It's all about situational awareness and resource control.

Well you see, that's the thing...every other DK who's posted videos here is doing the exact same thing you are, running the same build, oh and uh "moving tactically, and managing resources" lol. And they been posting these vids since beta, so no you are not a unique snowflake. I'm glad you're having fun with the game but if you're posting here looking for a pat on the back or some sort of validation you're a good player you're going to be hard pressed to find it with a build that has been around since beta and that is basically universally acknowledged as broken/OP.

Just sayin'

Haha like I said, use the gear you think I'm using and my bar and do it. If everyone could they would. It's the only build that I know of that can 1v1 most people and 1vX and do even better in group work without having to change your bar at all.

So I guess sorc video are the same? Should I hop on mine and streak, endless furry, velocities curse, streak, streak, streak, streak, dark exchange, streak streak....

Or hop on my stam NB and snipe till they die? Or reroll it magicka and ambush death stroke combo?

Every crys about a play style but only a few people make it work very well, the rest are just imitators.

MrGhosty · December 2014

These videos don't have to be cutting edge builds to be entertaining or impressive, both of which this video is. Almost all builds are just variations/tweaks based around a set of abilities that have been recognized as "good".

What I find interesting and enjoyable to watch is to look for the small tweaks and other little details that tend to distinguish players from the pack. I even love running into these builds on the battlefield as I never manage quite as well as when I'm forced to bring my 100% A game against these players. I can say that it is because of players like this and studying what they do that I'm able to squeeze every bit of power out of my characters even though I've not reached level cap.

Yes everyone can do this build and is running this build. I haven't seen a V14 DK not do the exact same thing as you are doing. And since they've been doing this since beta gear is almost irrelevant, give DK's light armor, sword and shield and everything else is window dressing. There are tons of cool builds with sorcs, nb's, temps, and yes even DK's. The fact that in your mind there is only one viable build for every class shows that you are indeed just a follower and not an innovator haha.

Sharkan · December 2014

Nice example of how clever players can use broken gameplay.

Just look at 2 min 10
--> Crazy AOE spamming that barely harm the magicka bar while pourring ultimates into the pool, rinse and repeat.

For me, AOE Abilities like that should cost WAY more than single target one (and ultimate should be on a timer)

That clip was added to show how broken purge is. All it takes is one person to do it and full raid can wipe. Lucky for me those AD PvDoor lords purged over and over haha

saintmurray · December 2014

Yeah I don't use purge any more for that exact reason... Good game play killing some good players. However the build seems to be very similar to many other good DKs I see getting around, not knocking it or you, I mean if the build works well use it.

RinaldoGandolphi · December 2014

I just want to toss a few things out there:

1. Turn Undead morph of Circle of Protection will fear any vamp in its radius, pop this for some great lulz. Nothing funnier then a vamp piping bat swarrm then running away lol. Try it, too funny.

I'm surprised more people don't use evil hunter in pvp, if i notice I'm fighting lots of vamps, it goes on my bar. Any tick of a DOT, weapon skills, or weapon attack can proc it and it does a lot of damage and restores stamina.

I wont be one to say I can do what is shown in asgari video, my build is not designed for that, and its not my playstyle.

Ripping the OP for their class, etc is just not my cup of tea, but each to their own.

JackDaniell · December 2014

I think everyone on this forum has atleast tried an aoe batswarm build, and if you have you know that it is one of the most effective builds for PvP. Regarding DK its simply the best build they can run, batswarm alone is what I call a sustain ult, you either get power healed by it or you get invis, both are fantastic for sustain. Now mix battle roar into it and you have a DK build that can, with a bit of luck, theoretically never die in zerg combat as long as the user never misses a skill cast.

The best playing I have ever seen with this build was Sieg Blackheart (no longer plays) but you did a great job as well! And props to your survival, especially when those few recources you had really mattered.

As a critique (instead of just flaming people) I noticed you missed quite a few animation cancells when you could have used them to your advantage. You would have to drop block to do this, but sometimes you don't need block up 100%, also bash cancells can add that little extera DPS when you really need it

. And have you tried running invigorating drain? It's possibly the best synergistic skill for you build, and suprisingly east to pull off in large scale combat (scales up and in an ash cloud), I think it would give you that little bit of extera juice when you really need it to

.

I see evil hunter/camp hunter on my kill log maybe once a day. I think the issue is most only use it with bow. They are too scared to use the stam with other options not realizing each hit would return stamina back.

My play style works because only %1 of the player base uses skills that would counter it. People just honestly don't understand all the tools they can use. This is why the subject of nerf this and that comes up on a daily basis.

RinaldoGandolphi · December 2014

P.S: I know a combo much better then what is used in this video that will allow one to simply block and cast 1 skill and watch people kill themselves, and you can be any class to do it. The Templar Blazing Shield would make it most potent and probably work best with it.

I refuse to use it, wont share it because I think it would really hurt pvp. Infact I will file a bug report in game shortly because I can't think for 1 sec zos ever intended what I'm talking about.

Like I said only a small player base used skills to counter. I give props where there due and your build did well against mine and you stayed relatively close to me.

This. As a DK just getting decent at pvp, it's interesting to compare Asgari's choices to other dks I have asked for advice like BBQ and fixate. Many things are similar, but small variations support different goals. For ex, Asgari runs wings on both bars here and no reverberating bash, because it's suited to what is going on. People play in in different situationa than 1vX definitely make room for that skill.

Having fought similar fights without wings on both bars, I can tell you wweaponswitch lag is deadly and makes it far harder. Thsee details are great to have.

I had walls coming in from inside the breach there also so the damage was even more unreal on that purge. Yours hit a lot more people due to the wall position though.

Sadly people on EU learned how to counter this type of build. I have 10 dark flares on me instantly + eclipse + fear.

Are all those clips made on PvE campaigns/Buff servers? Might be why the enemies are this bad, don't want to blame it just on EU players > NA players.

I record myself on a daily basis in huge fights and watch them with my morning coffee to see recaps of things i could have done differently in each fight that would have helped me out better (timing pot cooldowns with ulti use, flapping too much, and other random things).

I recently changed from the life tapping whip to the added flame damage one for more DPS from talons and cinder storm. The goal of the build is have the enemies use all their ulties and resources fast to blow me up and when they don't i strike. The same goes for me when running with my guild and seeing a large group that is set up for an ulti aoe bomb.

The purge video and emperor who gets knocked back in the dragon leap are from Haderus NA an AD buff server. All other clips in this video and my previous ones are all from Thornblade NA which is not a buff server.

With my gear i can virtually break free from eclipse and fear for free. Its only when im rooted and feared at the same time its an issue to get out of before i blow up. Dark flares never hit me because i have a bad habit of keeping reflect up permanently and over casting sometimes.

Pretty sure that Dark Flare debuffs you even when you reflect it. Double reflect will debuff you by 80% and the caster by 40%.
Getting no heals from Devouring Swarm is funny... not.

Fear and Eclipse breaking every 5 seconds is adding up to a huge stamina waste aswell even with Arena set.

It's possibly the best synergistic skill for you build, and suprisingly east to pull off in large scale combat (scales up and in an ash cloud), I think it would give you that little bit of extera juice when you really need it to .

I record myself on a daily basis in huge fights and watch them with my morning coffee to see recaps of things i could have done differently in each fight that would have helped me out better (timing pot cooldowns with ulti use, flapping too much, and other random things).

I recently changed from the life tapping whip to the added flame damage one for more DPS from talons and cinder storm. The goal of the build is have the enemies use all their ulties and resources fast to blow me up and when they don't i strike. The same goes for me when running with my guild and seeing a large group that is set up for an ulti aoe bomb.

I just want to toss a few things out there:

1. Turn Undead morph of Circle of Protection will fear any vamp in its radius, pop this for some great lulz. Nothing funnier then a vamp piping bat swarrm then running away lol. Try it, too funny.

I'm surprised more people don't use evil hunter in pvp, if i notice I'm fighting lots of vamps, it goes on my bar. Any tick of a DOT, weapon skills, or weapon attack can proc it and it does a lot of damage and restores stamina.

I wont be one to say I can do what is shown in asgari video, my build is not designed for that, and its not my playstyle.

Ripping the OP for their class, etc is just not my cup of tea, but each to their own.

I see evil hunter/camp hunter on my kill log maybe once a day. I think the issue is most only use it with bow. They are too scared to use the stam with other options not realizing each hit would return stamina back.

My play style works because only %1 of the player base uses skills that would counter it. People just honestly don't understand all the tools they can use. This is why the subject of nerf this and that comes up on a daily basis.

Sadly people on EU learned how to counter this type of build. I have 10 dark flares on me instantly + eclipse + fear.

Are all those clips made on PvE campaigns/Buff servers? Might be why the enemies are this bad, don't want to blame it just on EU players > NA players.

The purge video and emperor who gets knocked back in the dragon leap are from Haderus NA an AD buff server. All other clips in this video and my previous ones are all from Thornblade NA which is not a buff server.

With my gear i can virtually break free from eclipse and fear for free. Its only when im rooted and feared at the same time its an issue to get out of before i blow up. Dark flares never hit me because i have a bad habit of keeping reflect up permanently and over casting sometimes.

Molten whip is broken I posted on how, but I will say again anyhow only adds 11 dmg not spell power just actual 11 damage
