They're the only class I have been having trouble with since the update. Any tips to get past all of their blocking. Seems everytime I can get a CC in and do my burst, they just hold block, take little damage, and heal by the time I can cc them again. So just wondering if anyone has some tips to help take these stam dk's down

    Stamina Nightblade. I can usually kill them eventually but it takes a good few minutes. I mainly just need some tips on how to handle them when I'm outnumbered

    Mass Hysteria. They can't block it and need to use stamina to shake it off.

    I use that a lot as it is, doesn't seem to effect them, they just go right back to blocking and healing through my dmg

    You and me both. I use Agony and Mass Hysteria to drain their stamina by making them do break frees. Does

    I would try to heal debuff them. They are likely using vigor for healing, and Igneous/fossilize for stamina. If you heal debuff them they have to use more stamina for healing, which means they will have to use more magicka to refill their stamina. They should become weak on one resource.

    The tanks i think. They seem to be a bit of both. Can take heaps of damage, and do quite a bit

    Ahh seen a few of them, i just pressure them so much because i have more sustain than them so a spam them with dmg which gets rid of their stamina pretty fast.

    Sustained dmg seems better on them, of course you armour breaking them at least i'm guessing, dot's are useful, rooting them is also good.

    Of course mass hysteria is great for vsing them.

    Yea, as a Magicka DK I know that all you got to do is play with them a bit and survive until the Stam DK runs out of steam (they all do eventually), then kill sustainably. Stam DKs greatest weakness is they will run OOS eventually...

    Doesn't make it any less of a boring fight though, maybe is dk's had come class mobility like sorc or nb's then people wouldn't make so many tank builds.

    Use stealth suprise attacks and fear to cc them till no stam then use flawless to execute.
    This recent update has made me sad. Sad for the game. Sad for the community. Sad to pay whatever it is now. I want the previous eso back.
