Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

How do you play your magicka dk?

Level66Charizard
I'm leveling one currently and wanted a little help on the DoT rotations..

Or should I be relying heavily on whip?

With the buff to elemental blockade should that been in a rotation or 1h/shield because of the gap closer

Are there any non cookie cutter builds and I'll probably be using heavy armor only cause I never have before

HALP Thanks

    If you're asking for non-cookie cutter builds you will most likely GET cookie cutter builds lol. Just figure out what kind of playstyle you want. Ranged? Destro/Resto...Up Close? S&SH/S&SH or S&SH/Resto or DW/resto. Just use mostly class abilities with a few buffs from other trees and, BAM you got a build.

    I run my DK as a healer in his primary spec. I run 5 SPC, 1 Kena, 2 Torug's and 3 Willpower. For PvP all I do is put 2 torug's swords on my off-bar and load it up with more damage-oriented skills. Mostly Divines gear with Ritual mundus.

    For PvE healing:
    Bar 1 (resto) - Mutagen, Igneous Shield, Healing Springs, Healing Ward, Cauterize, Shooting Star
    Bar 2 (resto) - Energy Orb, Deep Breath, Healing Springs, Igneous Weapons, Cauterize, Agg. War Horn

    For PvP healing/damage:
    Bar 1 (resto) - same as above, though I might put Igneous Weapons in place of Springs on this bar for some scenarios
    Bar 2 (DW) - Burning Embers, Deep Breath, Whip, Obsidian Shard, Cauterize, DB of Smiting

    I split my CP with a heavy healing focus, but have some points into EE for damage.

    Edit: Twilight Remedy will replace Torug's and Willpower once I get it, to allow for a full 5set of both SPC and TR.

    Unless you are going to tank, forget the heavy armor. It's just not worth the trade-offs. If it gets a rework with the next DLC... well, we can hope.

    I was actually thinking about making my DK a healer also. Tyvm

    In that case, while you're leveling him/her up, consider using Kagrenac's or Julianos. These are both, in my opinion, the second-best-in-slot for healing atm. Since you can't get SPC on your lowbies (nor is it necessary) I would defer to one of these options until you grind up to vr16.

    Strong name to thread ratio...

    Charizard - Dragonknight


    Next update roll Blastoise OP ( Argonian sorcerer )

    Here's what you're gonna do:

    Heavy chest ( to look sexy )

    Light everything else ( can later switch to one medium for mettle passive ) but 6 light is more than enough for good passives

    Now you are going to be using:

    x5 Julianos x4 Kagrenac's Hope ( you get the 4th with your off bar )

    The skills are guess what? Up to you OP...

    Mag DK is in a very good place right now so unless you are going to PvP

    Personally I use a destro inferno staff and dualwield swords with magicka enchants
