I've watched @Sypher stream on EU servers couple days ago. He was playing his stamina nightblade and was dueling a great magicka DK player and believe it or not, the fight was really close. Sypher blamed it on the broken damage mitigation of vampires when they're low health but I don't think that's a problem personally. I was vamp on my magicka DK before I rerolled, I tried several setups and nothing worked.

I would be really interested to know what kind of build Legendary Omar is running if anyone know something about it or a way to communicate with him (forums, pms, etc).

All I know is that fights between me and Omar magicka dks are boring and take ages, usually end in draws

One thing I want to try is pariah plus vampire.

In any case, I have been running will, Kag, Magnus in 5h for a while now. It is solid, but not stand out. Basically, you will be chugging pots like crazy and heavy attacking with your resto. The hardest problem for magicka DKs is lack of burst coupled with the ease of purging DoTs.

Problem with a magicka DK is that if you get constantly rooted / mini stunned / cced, you run out of stamina very quickly and you die. If people you're fighting don't use such things that much against you and you manage your stamina relatively well, you can do miracles, as it's demonstrated in this video.

But when you play against great players, you're constantly mini-stunned, rooted and cced so it makes it really hard to manage your stamina. And if you invest too much into stamina management, you won't deal enough damage. Reason why in the first time, cc breaking, dodge rolling, bashing, sneaking and sprinting should be on a different ressource bar to not penalize magicka users who can't relay on shields to defend themselves and are forced to fight in melee range without any valuable class heal.

You can't contact Omar easily, you have to summon him by sacrificing a first born.

If I don't have a first born, can I sacrifice a goat?!

Jokes aside, I'll send you a PM from omar here since he doesn't have a forum account and I'm guessing you are on NA.

Thanks mate!

i dont see how that Omar was sustaining so well in his heavy setup and still putting out good dps. Now it was different when fighting Sypher when he was a sorc he couldnt even scratch through the Wards shield. Just not enough burst for the Magicka DK. I love Magicka DK I wish some of the guys that played around solo had some vids to watch. I'd imagine Omar's tanky setup wouldnt be that good in that situation his stamina would just deplete to quick and with no mobility he would be overwhelmed.

All I really care for is to be able to survive at this point.
