Am i losing dps by not using much magica in in a 2hand build? (pve)

Conquers · September 2015

So my build is medium armor, focused on crit chance with set armor and 2hand main, 1hand/shield off, DK
i use all 5 2hand skills in my skill bar, usually using momentum, critical rush, WB, and then finishing off with execute (i may have the morph wrong i forget)...spamming cleave with shield morph whenever there is 3+, or if theres a boss to apply bleed effect....i also have dawnbreaker with +damage%

my second skill bar for 1hand and shield has the taunt that grants armor, the other shield move that reduces enemy damage, green dragon blood, spiked armor, and evasion, with the molten armor ult

i have all character points in stamina
i will be looking to dps end game, with ability to grab bosses if the tank dies.

do i lose dps in this build, or can i ever tank vet / trial? in pve solo, if i ever feel i might die i pop another momentum morph to heal myself, switch to shield, and pop all 5 skills and switch back

As far as solo content you should be fine, in dungeons or pvp you'll have a harder time, not for dps but survivability. You seem like you know whats going on, you'll learn to tweak based on what your playstyle is.

Edit: a key component to tanking is health, which you can use multiple venues to increase, you could theoretically have very low attributes in health and still use enchantments etc to get higher numbers.

also in champion points, im doing warrior +medium armor physical resistance / +spell resistance, in thief pure stam regen, in mage pure +physical damage (the only non physical damage moves i have are dawnbreaker, which i only have for +damage% anyway, and the tank spiked armor / molten armor

and yeah the only time my survivability sucks is when im fighting a boss that does a 1 shot, if they use something that hits 12k damage or more ill probably die, but roll dodge is my best friend and it works 80% of the time. sad that dodge roll cost is nerfed this update

edit: pretty sure i have about 18k health at VR10

Well then you seem like right on target for your goals!

I mean we see that everyone says around 20k health, you got that, you want DPS so your attributes are correct. Your abilities are probably all set up.

Stam regen will not help much tanking anymore because you do not regen when blocking. It is better to have a massive stamina pool.
