Wrobel, because he only listens to himself.

And below that I would say sustain is the root cause in our lack of damage. We loose so much trying to cover sustain. It was a hard call between healing but I think sustain is the core problem that locks down our versatility and forces us into restrictive builds.

My whip costs more than a wrecking blow, the costs are ridiculous and never got reblanced after dynamic ultimate was removed.

Whenever I select my second answer, it clears my first answer.

I can't help but read this question in the breathy whisper of the Black Door from the Dark Brotherhood.

I would have gone with lack of finishing damage, but that wasn't an option. Their damage for non-executing is actually quite good, well.... good if you don't compare it to stamina. They just don't have a finisher.

Open world pvp mDK just needs an actual self heal. Being forced into a resto staff takes away from the classes passives which synergize well with s&b. Along with that you cant expect a DK to heal with embers or deep breath when you need an enemy to apply them too.

It makes zero sense that dragons blood still doesnt properly heal as it should. It is a self heal that is pretty expensive, that even at 10% health does a lesser heal than breath of life which is a multi target heal.

There are more than enough sets in ESO for mDKs to obtain dmg and sustain at the same time, however healing doesnt fall into this category, even though DKs are supposed to be the "tankier" calls with no real mobility.


No mobility plus no reliable self heal = disaster!

Lack of mobility is by design, and I'm fine with it, if I get something else in exchange.

Damage is absolutely fine if you invest enough into it (even Maluplars die, that says a lot).

Tankiness is absolutely fine if you invest enough into it.

Bit different for healing: mag DKs have strong in combat healing options with Burning embers (1v1 or 1v2) and Deep Breath, but lack a strong self-healing option (hello Dragon Blood my old friend... That I'm better off not using on a 70k health build...).

Sustain is absolutely fine if you invest enough into it.

But what's wrong with mag DKs then?

Simple: To get any of the above points classified "fine", you need to sacrifice something else, hence the "if you invest enough into it". I need 5 different DoTs and light armor on a 40k magicka build with Skoria if I want to break tanky builds, I still need a CC, a mitigation ability and a way to self-heal, and suddenly I'm left with very few slots... Wings? Deep Breath? Shuffle? Mutagen? Healing Ward? Fossilize? Drain? Talons? Can't have them all. I actually have to sacrifice something to be good at something else.

What if I drop some DoTs? Well, I get some utility, but I reach a point where I simply can't kill most tanky builds, even tho I'm on light armor with a rather aggressive setup otherwise. I'm supposed to stack DoTs, where other classes don't need to. I can't kill decent players within seconds of the start of a fight without an ultimate. I can't kill some at all without drastically changing the build.

Right off my head, I have 2 builds in mind for stam DK, one has all options except mobility, the other has everything except tankiness. Try to get 4 of these qualified as "fine" on a mag DK.

Thus, my answer is "having to actually sacrifice something", which in my book is good design, but only shows that other classes are performing "too well".

And dragon blood. I can get good aoe healing from deep breath but I need 6 people around me. I can get good hot healing in a duel or 1v2. I can't however get good healing when it's an awkward number in between or when I don't have people close to me.

In regards to my actual poll choice, I sacrifice so much for sustain and I still run dry of both resources by the time bats comes back up

Sweetrolls

Definitely damage. You can't kill any competent player without an ultimate.
We have no burst damage or execute, and DoT's are useless when vigor ticks match and exceed the damage and take up 1/3 of the bar slots. We need to use multiple skills to get on the same level as our opponents, and it just feels as though you're always sacrificing critical abilities, borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.

Is this a trick question?

There should be a "other" option.

Trick Question I think, the combat team. ... Next!

Lack of orc
