Give whip an armour debuff, it'll help out dk dmg in pvp as a whole and won't affect pve dps at all, as tanks will major breach/fracture bosses.
Difference is smaller than you think, because this one was taken with the same amount of Magicka, same CP setup but with 500 Spell Damage more
That's without including the crit chance + dmg passives, the 8% dmg buff via merciless. The 10% dmg buff via cloaking.
Right, right... like a 10% Extra Crit chance, Snares, Increased Burn Damage, Extra Damage + Heal when hitting off balance enemies, ...
If we start adding in other skills/passives, this would turn into another class vs class topic. So let's keep it purely on the skill here: Flame Lash is not as weak as ppl think it is. Period.
If I were to DW instead of using S&B (extra Reflect + Synergy with Draconic Power passives) to get my Spell Damage on par, I'd be hitting just as hard as my MagBlade
Difference is on a mag dk, your basically forced into s+b unless you want to be a paper cannon.
Whip needs some sort of dmg boost. Whats wrong with adding a spell resist debuff?PS4 EU DC

But seriously, flame lash needs either a decent buff or to become an execute skill. I've had so many fights recently in PVP that I just can't close out despite being the better player for 80% of the fight, because Mag DK just has no execute.
So either do as title says, or perhaps something along the lines of an extra damage execute on target under 25%, like how every other mana class has.
Plz and thx.
TITLE is AWESOME! xD
Seconded. The complaint is bordering on ridiculous, but the title is PRICELESS!!

There's nothing wrong with that, but I just don't think it should be added to Whip. Maybe to another skill
A small damage buff would be ok tho (to actually be on par with CW and such, cuz I think the damage diff is pretty minimal)Edited by Tryxus on June 26, 2016 11:11PM"The Oak's Promise: stand strong, stay true, and shelter all"

You meant like giving a slow burn class no real easy way to close the fight besides an ultimate? That's the real joke.
GIVE MAG DKS AN EXECUTE FFS3 -
Actually_Goku✭✭✭✭Okay, so I should mention, this is more directed for PVP. I honestly couldn't care about PVE because as it's been mentioned, Lash is fine in PVE.
BUT. As I mentioned in my original post, Mag DK has no execute! Stam builds have Executioner, so they're covered. Magblades have Impale, Magplars have JESUS BEAM and Sorcs obviously have EF/MW.
Yes, we have an awesome plethora of awesome abilities, and probably the best DOT's, but DOT's are useless in PVP unless you're playing against some chewb who's never played, and as someone mentioned, if we don't run 1h & shield, we're absolute dead meat.
I can keep going on but the point is, I'd rather the CHANCE of healing yourself when someone's off-balance take a 50% nerf for even a small buff in execute skill or for example, minor sorcery. Something to help with closing out fights. It's bad enough I'm running around with no mobility, stealth or range, surely we can get this small bone thrown our way?1 -

Sharee✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Honestly, i would be fine with having no execute if this was compensated by having higher steady DPS (than the classes/specs which do have execute).
If i manage to put all my DOTs on an enemy he should be screaming in panic and pushed into defensive, not casually cleansing them, shielding them, or outhealing them with a single vigor cast then continue to put more steady DPS into me than i ever could be capable of - followed by an execute, just to rub it in.6 -

Wollust✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭The issue with magDK is not that Flame Lash hits for low amounts. It's the fact that magDKs have to build much more around defense, therefore forsaking their offense because otherwise they are simply not survivable.
On my magBlade I can go all into magicka, light armor and still have a decent survivability while having high damage. Try the same on magDK and well. High damage yes, survivability is more or less zero.
But that is an issue that boils down to the burst meta Wrobel gave us.Susano'o

Timing. Get your deep breath, talon, ember on and ensure a hard CC is used every 6 seconds. Rinse and repeat.
Build for sustain and survivability. 5 heavy. 2 swords both with sharpened. Put CPs into spell pen.
Put disease on your weapons so you stick a health defile on the target.

I'm honestly grateful for thoughtful posts like this; I agree with all of your points, but they just serve to highlight the fact that Mag DK needs an execute. It's probably the most intricate and "chess-like" (for lack of a better expression) class to use in PVP, we fight and fight and fight, are in many cases the better player, but often lose or die because old-mate FOTM StamDK or Magblade can cleanse/purge our DOT's (the best one is also our main class self-heal) and then burst kill us within 4 seconds spamming cloak, concealed weapon, surprise attack, wrecking blow etc etc, which all do much more damage than noodle does.
It doesn't even need an actual base buff - JUST PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE IT AN EXECUTE SKILL; an extra 100% damage on targets under 25% is VERY conservative in comparison to all other executes and surely not much to ask?2 -

Come on do you really expect whip to do as much damage as concealed or whatever other ability on a HA DK? Get a setup like a Nightblade then see what Whip does.
Its the strongest magicka spam ability in PvE so change your gear if you don´t want to hit like a noodle.

✭We (mDK) will not get an execute. Closest thing we had was the buff to heavy attacks. Lol. Now give us unpurgeable dots (which would be too OP imo) or a magic evasion with some aoe and a slight buff to flame lash and maybe even add a health defile to flame lash and we can call it good.
But let's be honest, if they would fix our GDB or CB I would be happy as a clown when it came to PVP.

Tsk, you need better naming skills pal, Lukewarm Noodleslap has no resemblance to Flame Lash...
When renaming a skill to provoke Zenimax, maintain more similarities or they just won't understand you!
Like this:
Useless Exchange instead of Dark Exchange
Bound Toggle instead of Bound Armor
...See my point?1
