Redguard Dragonknight DPS Stamina Build?

RelaxAy · August 2016

Level 48 Redguard Dragonknight here. Looking for advice from experienced players on what skills attributes i should have for a dual wield and a bow? Venemous claws, talons, anything else? Thanks in advance

Since you are not max lvl yet, i recomend you this build for pve:

Atributes: All stamina

Mundus: Thief

Food: Max hp and stamina

Champions:

Soon you will start to get champion points:

Blues (proportion): you can start with 3 mighty - 2 thaumaturge - 1 precise strikes
Reds: 4 elemental defender - 4 hardy - 1 Thick skinend
Greens: 2 warlord - 1 mooncalf

Gear

5 pieces hundings rage (body), 3/4 pieces nighmother's gaze (2 body, and 1 sharpened axe and 1 sharpened dagger, bow). All medium (until you have the undaunted passive, then you can go 6 medium, 1 heavy if you feel too squishy).

All divines, all stamina enchants, 1 weapon dmg enchant on weapon and 1 crushing on the offhand.

3 pieces of robust jewelry of your level enchanted with weapon damage (you can put 1 reduce cost if you have resource problems. Once you have champion points you should go all weapon dmg).

Skills

DW: Rapid strikes, noxious claw, rending slashes, steel tornado, evil hunter, flawless dawnbreaker
Bow: poison injection, endless hail, rearming trap, igneous weapons, flames of oblivion, standard of might

Rotation single target:

Buff precombat with igneous weapons

Poison injection > rearming trap > endles hail > Standard of might > bar swap > noxious claw > rending slashes > flurry until poison injection runs out > bar swap > start again.

Keep your dots up, use flurry while all are running, rebuf when igneous runs out. Try to do light atacks before each skill and cancel them with the skill you use. Its called animation cancel (or weaving) and will improve your dps.

Aoe:

Buf.

Endles hail > spin to win

Be sure to have endless hail running

With that you should do well in pve.

NOTE:

If you don't know what Hundng's Rage or Nighmother's Gaze means, you can check it here: elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Set+Bonus+Crafting+Locations

Those are crafted sets that give you bonuses, so your character is a lot stronger. If you can't craft this sets, best advice is: Join a, established guild, in almost all there are crafterrs that will craft the gear for you.

No problem

, once you reach 160 CP you can start to look for endgame builds and prepare for Maelstrom Arena (solo dungeon), where you get the best weapons in the game, but is really hard on low CP (i completed it for 1st time with 380CP) and impossible without Vigor (aliance war skill) as stamina class.

At the moment try to get confortable with all those skills, master animation cancelling, do some pvp to get vigor and caltrops and try to get those CP as fast as possible. They are the best investment you can do on your character until you reach the cap (531). The power increase they give to you is insane (a bit too much for my taste).

And for a dk stamina dps Redguard with 379 cp what do you recommend . What could be the optimal setup without Maelstrom because never did it.

Thanks in advance!

You can try:

3 robust agility + 5 nightmother's gaze/hundings/Twice born star (for trials mostly this one) + 2 velindreth (or 1 velindreth, 1 kena, or 1 kena, 1 bloodspawn) + 2 leki weapons (or anything crafted you like).

If you don't have mosnters sets, then get 4 pieces of the same set, 3/4 hundings if you use 5 nmg or vice versa (dont use twice born star to complete, its only good in 5 pieces for the double mundus). Agility you can buy it, is still a very strong set.

If you have access to trials, 5 vicious ophidian + 5 crafted + 2 crafted weapons (or monster set and use crafted weapons) itsgood (vicious is maybe the best stamina set in the game for pve. Its just another level)

If you farmed icp, you can try 3 agility, 5 toxic defiance, 2 mephala, there is a build in tamrielfoundry using that and seems to do good dps.

Anyway, work on that maelstrom, those weapons really make a BIG diference, like 25-30% increase in dps.

Thanks a lot, sir!

Would be a nice choice to combine Viper's Sting with Hunding's or NM and Mephala?
