I really enjoyed watching your magica ganker! I lol'd when you got smashed too as I found the lack of mobility my biggest issue.

I ran a burst magica dk build before nirnhoned got popular in 1.6 was it? Loved hitting people for 25k+ heavy attacks.

Tried it early in this meta cause I was too lazy to respec my PvE DK and found it too damn hard to stay alive mainly due to being a sitting duck if I didn't burst kill someone.

Try molten armaments > structured entropy > shooting star > fossilize > full heavy attack too. It's a nice way to add an execute the my favorite sword and board combo.

Funny stuff.

1.5 destro HA coming back? pls. pls. Line em up.

Molten Armaments has been one of the most fun DK skills since whatever path they put in that gave it heavy attack damage and execute. Imperial City patch, maybe? I don't remember, but it's been a wild ride, it's a gods damned shame that they're taking it all away in the Thieve's Guild patch.

It was much better before they altered it. Now it's good for nothing but 1 shot cheese ganking IMO

Naw, before that it was "here, have this static weapon power buff" or some trite BS like that. Especially with the buff consolidation, that happened in 1.6 or whenever, it made no sense to stay as-is. Instead, they opted to give a very cool and pretty unique mechanic that honestly should have been a signature DK skill as much as jabs is for Templar. Changing it back is a huge backslide towards mediocrity and uninteresting play.

As for it being "good for nothing but 1 shot cheese ganking", you definitely need to broaden your experiences, it's way more useful than that. It might have been popularized by certain gankers, but I've been using it in group play ever since they changed the skill. It's that perfect opener for small-group stuff, and a wonderful finisher for chaotic large-group play. Obviously you're mostly using AOE in large group combat, but when the lead says to take down a healer, or you need to deal with one of those high mitigation permablock builds, a good heavy attack with Molten Armaments reaaaaaally hits the spot. Nightblades might be the best at executes, what with them being instant-cast and all, but DK has the hardest-hitting, for when your wee little nightblade friend just can't get through the big meany's armor.

And the look on someone's face when you saunter in from out of nowhere and floor them from half health?

To each their own, but a fully charged HA execute is just silly for my play-style. They should've left it proccing on semi-charged, at least then it was viable for more than just picking off unsuspecting or overwhelmed opponents. Any solid player laughs at it these days. Either way I won't be using it next patch, it truly is a shame. Would be great to have an execute like all the other classes.

If solid players are laughing at it these days, they sure do seem to be cut off when they start choking on their own blood. :-o And yeah a normal in-class execute would be cool, I'll never deny that, but Wrobel says he doesn't want that because it's a Nightblade thing, apparently. And a Templar thing. Okay, and also a sorc thing. But it felt really unique as a DK which is one reason I liked it. There's jsut something missing on the PTS build.

The thing missing on the PTS is to change one of the stone fist morphs to "dragon punch", an execute that is so heavily drawn from street fighter 2 that Zos gets sued by its creators.

Hey guys, just another video posted for a friend

I may have forgotten to post this for him.

lollllllll "my D*** is harder than these sweeps"

I have been watching, and I'm amused that no one had mentioned his use of the Shadowstrike CP passive yet. I love that passive, and it's so good for this mag DK heavy attack build. Props.

Had to revisit this for the lols. An old favorite.
