I have a few characters right now (Templar, Sorcerer, and NightBlade). Each one I have build somewhat classically and none are veteran. My highest level character is 44.
I have ranged characters and close + range characters but I do not have a true get in there and wreck shop character. I don't really want any range to speak of just pure brawler (which is why I am looking at 2H + DW).
Now, the goal is to have Dual Wield be the AoE/mob killer and the 2H will be the boss killer because of Executioner (that I keep hearing about). I am however very unfamiliar with both Dual Wield and 2H skills. I have a level 10 character doing Dual Wield (DW) with bow backup. I have never tried a 2H build.
Also, it seems the DragonKnight provides few stamina abilities. Now, I have the explorer's pack so I can pick any race. Here is what I was thinking about doing:
PvE or PvP: PvE, I generally stay away from PvP (plus I could respec for PvP later if I really wanted to)
Race: Redguard for Stamina regen
Armor: Heavy or Medium - can't decide. I was thinking Heavy to be able to take the punishment, but medium provides good protection and I was thinking maybe a DK ability will help keep me alive (thereby giving me more stamina Regen).
Werewolf: for the stamina regen only aspect. This will be especially required if I go with heavy armor
Attribute Points: 3 in stamina for every one in health
2 handed skill bar:
Critical Rush
Wrecking Blow
Executioner
Green Dragon Blood
Rally
Ultimate - Corrosive Armor
Dual Wield Skill bar:
Rapid Strikes
Steel Tornado
Burning Breath
Unstable flame
Igneous Weapons
Ultimate - Ferocious Leap
BTW - My other 3 characters are all crafting toons as well, so I already have a blacksmith, clothier, enchanter. I will need to create an alchemist (probably this character)
Questions that I have:
1. Race? Is Redguard really the best one - I do not have Imperial
2. Heavy or Medium armor
3. What abilities am I over looking in the DK build (all I have been able to do is read online descriptions of what they do)
4. Is this even viable in late game (VR stuff)
5. Any other advice?
