It really puzzles me that people use their glass cannon PvP builds and assume that it'll work out just fine.

✭✭Sustained (Group Dungeons)Sustained will be better since you won't be spending all your time with heavy attacks trying to get your resources back up1 -
Xjcon✭✭✭✭✭My DPS build for dungeons is a glass cannon. If I don't stand in the red and the tank takes care of the mobs/boss I will nuke things.Briza Do'urdenx V16 Dunmer DK

✭Sustained (Group Dungeons)I actually pug'd FG a week or so ago with a Sorc who's idea of DPS was to spam mage's wrath until he got a crystal frag proc, then set up that sweet curse->entropy->crystal frag->dawnbreaker combo. Gamyne Bandu was not amused. Neither was anyone else while he kept standing still during the link attack.
I don't know though, maybe that's what I look like when this game makes me PvP.0 -

✭Sustained (Group Dungeons)PVP builds should not exist. Remove Battle Spirit and let these folks learn to build properly.Insulting people on the internet is cowardly.2 -
mtwiggz✭✭✭✭✭Didn't vote due to the fact that I use my PvP builds for dungeons. On my Sorc it's completely fine, have enough HP and DPS to make it through. On the other hand my NB doesn't have near enough HP to do any dungeons. Can't see the point in respec'ing my NB to run one pledge a day, just to have to respec again later to go back to PvP.0 -

Its not a simple question, since if yourr dps has a 30-45 sec burst and all of them pull 20k+ dps (including healer) then you wont need sustain because the fight will be over0 -

✭Sustained (Group Dungeons)I have a history of making builds with not much sustain at all and all power, and as soon as I run out of magicka then I'm bang - dead.I have departed into the great unknown that is outside the game and the forums, and wish you well in your Tamriel adventures!

✭✭✭✭Well you need decent regen.
But, some bosses needed be burned quick before a mechanic kicks in.
So, both.
I've found that sweet spot on my sorc.
An important type of dps is something with a synergy. It's free damage (usually decent) when someone hits itEdited by Brrrofski on October 30, 2015 8:13AM0
