Well, my dear dk nord since early access...my first char..and I just use it now for crafting. I went from stam to mag...and I really dont like to see my nord wearing an stick. Now that I see good stam buffs are coming I will reroll to stam again. BUT its a nord and nords are just good for tanking...so should i go heavytank or could I try dps? I dont like to tank anyway.

    lol is that viable or I guess you are joking? Sorry Im outdated regarding heavystam builds. And I remember it was a complete disaster to dps with a nord heavytank. My last 1.5 years has been all about magnb XD

    I'd say go for it :p Racial Passives are only needed for minmaxing anyways, a Nord DPS build would certainly work

    Could you elaborate? haha

    Tryxus I know there will be a buff for damage in heavy armor...then it would be ok?

    May be a bit lesser than medium armor but with a lot higher survivability.

    Sure

    I think with the next update you can choose between Heavy or Medium, and find which you like more.

    Ok thanks both. For pvp it will be cool the survivability I guess.

    As you did, I did the same. I have used a Nord DK since late beta and use it as my main. Currently I have it as a stam DK with the following sets:
    Three piece Sentry - Shoulders(MA), hands(MA), and waist(MA) - all divineswith stam enchant
    Three piece Ashen - Head(HA), chest(HA), and legs(MA) - all infused with stam enchant
    One piece Leki - Medium - Feet(MA) - divines with stam enchant
    Three pieces Agility - all with stam trait and weapon damage enchant
    Main weapon Leki's bow with irresistible damage
    Greatsword of Leki with irresistible damage

    I have lowish health around 23.5k avg
    9.9K of mana
    28.4k Stam pool
    stam regen is around 1280

    It's a fun build I use for PVP and that's about it. I assume it's an odd build since the Leki set is really cheap, got mine three pieces for under 8k, but it works for me.

    My main is a DK Nord also, running as a Stam DPS. I'm not the best player, but I like this sort of style. Run with 2H and Bow as secondary weapon, and I think I do ok. I have 5 piece Hundings Rage Medium Armour, 2 Pieces of Heavy Night Mothers Gaze Armour, and Night Mothers Gaze on both weapons, and 3 piece Agility Set for Jewellery. Have about 20k health and 30k stamina. I do pretty much PVE only.
    These upcoming changes are going to be interesting. Will probably have to rearrange some traits and champions points, but I just have to wait and see.

    I have a magblade that I like a lot and I have mastered quite well.
    I have a magdk,and an stamplar too.

    As stam is gonna be on par with mag...I was wanting to try some stam based buid.As my dk is a Nord and is the worst race...The redguard stamplar Im not sure if feels ok for pvp...

    I have started an Imperial stam nb. My question is...having a dunmer magblade...is ok having an imperial stamblade or better do this imperial be an stam dk?

    Im a bit doubtful because Im afraid I will find the stamblade too similar to my magblade cause with my magblade I play like lets say a ghost. An stamblade would be more or less the same I guess but wont be able to cloack that much and It will be more an instagank build. But that build works just inside ic mainly and there I play with my magblade.

    So...would be better to go stam dk imperial dps to test a diff built or gankblade imp?

    If I reroll the nord to an stam dpstank new heavy DB armor would be ok?

    Or better continue with the imp stamblade(having a dunmer magblade)

    In case you play in Ebonheart Pact, create a Wrecking-Blow cheese build for pvp, and go do pvp.

    Honestly it is fun to just go and live up to everyones prejudices sometimes :p might as well go all out, and prove everyone right. Don't forget to drink some alcohol while you do it ^^ nords can't go without their mead!

    Make a hybrid build between the two and use both roles.
