is my stamina DK ok?

Tats · April 2016

I been casually playing ESO since console launch. very casual so I'm pretty noob. I'm only Vet 12 currently working my way through Wrothgar. Is my build any good? I use 2h and dual wield. It works great for leveling but I'm not actually sure how productive I am in dungeons/pve events. I'm on console so I'm not sure what kind of dps im pulling.

Right now I use 5 pieces of hundings rage and 3 pieces of night mother. 5 medium 2 heavy. I all my points into stamina but my health is pretty low I think, 13,700. my skills are

2h bar is:
Wrecking Blow
Executioner
Unstable Flame
Crit rush
Rally
Take Flight/Dawnbreaker/Werewolf.

DW bar is
Rapid Strikes
Steel Tornado
Burning Breath
Igneous Shield
Green Dragon blood
Standard of Might.

any suggestions? I've been playing a lot more past couple days trying to get to vet 16 finally.

You now have Scrolling Combat Text on the consoles. It is disabled by default, but turn that on and you will see the damage that each skill or attack combo gives you. It can be quite surprising as to what attack does how much damage, and it's not always what you think.

Are you using Health/Stamina food? What kind of jewelry are you wearing? I'd recommend a couple pieces of healthy jewelry if you feel you need more health.

I haven't been using health food to be honest but I will start. I'm just using some stamina rings and a health neck that I got from quests.

I do use the scrolling combat text but not sure if the numbers that come up are good or not compared to other people.

Yeah get a jewellery set for the extra bonuses, and if you don't use food you should definitely start, playing without the optimal food for your build is handicapping yourself before the get go.

Also make sure you have all the beneficial Passives, and the skill Vigor would be a good asset, great stamina heal.

I would suggest taking off either rapid strikes or wrecking blow. There really isn't any point in slotting a spammable on each bar.
Other than that I think it's a pretty good setup, all in all.

Go the wrecking blow ftw.

Are you looking to pvp later on, because you might want to level up light armor to go 5-1-1 to get the undaunted passives?

Otherwise, there's value in 7 medium for the extra crit and stam regen.

Ferocious leap is a cheap ultimate at 125 and gives you physical damage, unlike most. It also gives you about 6 seconds of invincibility if your health is high enough (the shield scales off your health). Just something to ponder.

All in all your build looks good, especially if it suits your playstyle which can be more important.

thanks for help everyone. I had some good food buffs saved up and it makes a huge difference to use it.

What gear should I be aiming for? Hundings rage? I can't craft anything yet because I'm still working on my traits. I've been doing maelstrom arena normal easy but all I get is that para bellum set which I'm not sure is any good.

2pc Molag Kena/Nerien'eth/Engine Guardian (Heavy Head & Medium Shoulder) - Both Divines, Stam Enchants
3pc Agility (Jewelry) - All Robust
5pc Hunding's Rage (Med. Arms, Med. Chest, Light Belt, Med. Legs, Med. Boots) - All Divines, Stam Enchants
2pc Night Mother's Gaze (Daggers) - Precise Traits, Poison & Weapon Power Enchants
1pc Maelstrom Battle Axe or Maelstrom Bow

Make sure to get 5/1/1 Medium for the undaunted passives for max stats. Got with heavy in the helm or chest for the best resistance, and light in the belt.

This is probably the most sought after setup for max stam DPS. If you don't have a monster mask & helm go with a 4pc Night Mother's Gaze. Go with healthy jewelry if you feel your health is too low.

my suggestion is to wait with finallize build until you reach v16.
2nd of all, pvp or pve focus?

I assume pve.
You have too much defense abilities for group plays.
Use 6 medium 1 heavy.
Unslot your self heal and slot dmg abilities instead.
Have flawless dawnbreaker from fighters guild skill as ultimate for passive weapon dmg on main dps bar.
Have standard of might on buff bar.
Make sure your weapons are vr16 and legendary for high weapon dmg.

not entirely true. I get more weapon damage out of my V13 Masters Greatsword than I do out of a V16 Endurance greatsword.. (both epic)

3010 vs 3090 I think it was unbuffed. It's around 3500-3600 buffed..
