DK Heavy 2H
Is this viable? This is what I am doing in PvE but I like this style for PvP as well. Can it be done?

✭✭✭✭I haven't tried it myself but I have a few thoughts on it.
With igneous weapons can you push your damage into Heavy attacks rather than skill spam. Not only are heavy attacks free they also return stamina which you can use to keep immovable up, or bone shield or vigor. Immovable will also allow you to heavy attack freely.
Rapid regen is a pretty cost effective, low maintenance heal that should syngergize well with heavy armor without taxing your reduced resource recovery. By having the resto staff you will also have a heavy attack that can restore magicka.
As far as dk skills I would use engulfing flames and burning embers (or appropriate morph) because they are low cost. If you wear the engine guardian set you can use those cheap cast skills to help trigger the set proc.Edited by Armitas on March 27, 2015 8:01PMRetired.

Vanzen✭✭✭✭✭As a Magicka DK, I just love when a stam DK comes for me ... Stam DK is a fraud many people fell for. No magicka = no scale/no igneous shield/no GDB./no flame lash/ no nothing ... With stam you just drop everything that is op in DK ...
Even nerfed, in open field mass pvp, scale is still the most op skill of all.1 -

✭✭✭✭I love Stamina Dragon Knights! They are even easier to kite than the Magicka ones, while they lack all the survivability. I just have to make sure that I don't get hit by Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow and Wrecking Blow.1 -
Vanzen✭✭✭✭✭And contrary to common belief, stam is even useless to blocking build. You need a magicka build to block. What ability you ll use when using all your stam for blocking ?

Vanzen✭✭✭✭✭Well ... Some people think it is and some have some success with it I presume. Thats only my opinion that stam dk is inferior to magicka dk, considering all the options magicka brings.Edited by Vanzen on March 28, 2015 10:17AM0

lol, i'm a stam dk (have been since launch). i can't flappy flappy very long; however, the faster TTK more than makes up for that.2 -

I was an hybrid before 1.6. Stam was better then.

i still slots my flap flap wings and GDB. i dont use it a lot since either myself or my enemy would be on the ground under 5 seconds usually.
yes, flap flap still pretty OP. as well as GDB when turned on RIGHT after Igneous Armor which boosts your healing for the first few seconds (then pop stamina-based Rally as bonus too)

Green Dragon blood is good with a heavy tank shield build but its far from OP... Takes close to 4k magicka and at most you might heal for 9k if you have no health but in current PvP if you let your health get to the 30% range you are dead.... Your better off with casting a shield .. I'm sorry I think gdb is extreamily overrated and misunderstood.... In PVP many dragon knights have stopped slotting it...PVP DEADWAIT

Pots give 40 secs with a recast at 45 secs instead of 20 secs and costing almost 4k magicka... This allows me to flappy more or cast my damage shield... Green dragon blood the staple of our class is so weak at this point.. Your damage shield is of more value...
I have it on my secondary bar current as a ohh *** heal that I rarely use to be honest...still just does not feel right with out it....

i use it only in tandem with igneous shield. it gives fairly good damage and make sure my wrecking blows got ammo.
it's good, but you're right, it used to be such a staple...August Palatine Davadin Bloodstrake - Nord Dragon Knight - PC NA - Gray Host

xylena✭✭✭✭✭GDB = green dragon blood... it's a decent burst heal for magicka DKs, but stamina DKs in heavy armor with a 2h will want to save their magic for igneous shield and use that with 2h rally (momentum morph) for burst healing
and yes, i agree the change in potion mechanics has really weakened GDB, they won't stack so you are better off using tripots or health/stam pots to get the same effect without wasting magicRetired until we break the Tank Meta0 -
