    Okay, well maybe I'm just *** at PvPing with my current Stam DK.

    So instead of all you go-hard pros spouting on about L2P issues, how about offering some advice on how you do so well?

    I'm running 5 medium, 1 light, 1 heavy

    5 hundings,
    1 blood spawn
    shoulders is any random undaunted with +1k health

    using bow on 1 bar and 2H on the other...probably going to switch to 1H/S because I'm honestly hating 2h, my WB is too unreliable and every time I land the first one...sure great damage...but if I land another 1 right after it it does maybe half the damage :/

    Either use kena or blood spawn as the shoulders.

    Whats your hp at, you ccould go 2x night mother or something if you don't have kena/bloodspawn.

    Whats your wb tooltip dmg?

    I only have the blood spawn helm, hoping to kena shoulders. HP is at 24-25k, stams at 31k, weapon damage buffed in 3.3k (on 2h bar)

    I'm also using 3 piece endurace, all stam and all + weapon damage.

    Not sure about the last question; I wanna say single target dps is around 12-13k, but that would be PvE without any worries in comparison to pvp

    I'm talking about what does your wb say it's tooltip is.

    Also why aren't you using agility, 1.5k stamina (basically 150 wpn dmg) and 186 wpn dmg.

    Your using the wpn dmg increase glyph on your 2h right?

    I would ideally like the agility set but I can't afford the 300k+ gold it'll cost me to get them.

    I haven't put the weapon dmg enchant on my 2h yet either. I do have those enchants on both my swords for the night mothers set though, so maybe ill have to switch to the dual wield for more damage and just practice with them

    Dw is terrible for a stam dk. It's basically used to steel tornado.

    Hmm what race are you?

    That's incorrect. Sure Rapid Strikes leaves a little to be desired, but with the changes to Thuamaturge and using a maelstrom axe+maelstrom dagger it's the best Stam DK setup. For PvE, at least. For PvP I assume the same, but not sure.

    If you manage to kill someone with rapid strikes in pvp you could of just light attacked them to death to get the same result, they are that bad.

    Also, about WB tooltip damage, I believe it's about 11k buffed? Somebody was saying the damage was reduced this patch but I know it was 12k buffed before so I'm just assuming it went down lol

    Your tooltip won't be reduced, stamina dmg isn't reduced directly, its just that they introduced a physical dmg reduction cp so people have around 15% physical reduction because of that.

    It won't affect your tooltip dmg though.

    Makes sense, but that still doesn't account for my 2nd wrecking blow doing either half or 1/4 of the damage as the first especially after the first one grants empower...even if empower didn't apply to my next WB, my opponent is still laying on the ground from the first one not blocking so how is my 2nd one doing so much less damage lol

    Well, my Stamblade has been hurting since the patch but not so much my Sorc. I guess I'll just wait to see if things improve for stam because I really do love playing him. Here's hoping?

    Nothing is wrong with em, they work very well.
    People just tend to be scared of everything that changed somehow.

    This is the game where OP is used in every sentence.

    We even have DKs on EU that everyone refuses to fight because they have no chance (im not trolling here)
    They are really strong.

    I recently switched to DW as my damage bar over 2h and I've had much more success. I just don't like the style of 2h because my WB were always hit or miss. Big reason why I was struggling so much lol.

    You know the drill, every other patch has to crown a new king. At launch it was elder staves online and stamina was terrible, then the "stampeon system" and nirnhoned came out and stamina was king, now its time to flip back to magicka being overpowered.

    Just wait till dark brotherhood when everyone is sick to death of prox det, (which is becoming 90% of PvP gameplay) and stamina gets a buff again.

    And by stamina getting a buff, i mean stam NBs only. Stam sorc, templar and DK will get ignored as usual and templar will get another random nerf just because its tradition at this point.

    Man come on, when people talk about balance they clearly mean pvp... For real how could anybody struggle in pve with any build? Literally everything works, I think Dora the explorer had harder pve content.

    Bad builds don't make it through Vet MSA, ICP, or WGT. They certainly will not cut it in the new Trial either.

    Lol! I'm absolutely loving my stamk dk right now. I actually even did vMSA this patch with her. If they will implement the poison damage idea it's going to be absolutely amazing.

    Stam DK's are still really strong, nearly as strong as Stam NB. I don't get it.
