Healing on a Stamina DK

Paradox187 · September 2016

I am finding my Stam based DK is having some issues with self-healing.
Currently I am only lvl10 so its early days. I am using Duel Wield and building 2hander also race is a Dunmer.

Any advice?

You won't have issues healing once you get him up a bit.

You'll get to the point where you can use the Igneous Shield (which grants +25% healing), with Vigor and Rally to shoot your health up to full, which works well in PVP and overland PVE.

For dungeons and raids, you shouldn't take 2-handed because you give up dps compared to bow, and you have a healer, and Vigor will suffice.

Also, as a DK, you have access to Corrosive Armor, which provides a significant reduction in damage, so when you get that...

Just push through it; DKs have a tough time sustaining early in the game.

One option you have is to take the Bloodthirst (Flurry) and Blood Craze (Twin Slashes) morphs for self-healing. It will make a huge difference for you during the leveling process, and both of those morphs are solid options for a vMA build, once the character is leveled-up and ready for it.

On your two hander you'll want to morph momentum into rally, and keep it up (im not sure if you're talking pvp or pve). But also resolving vigor is an awesome heal over time. Dont use dragons blood. The skill is bad.

Also an option is igneous shields on your back bar, because you can cast that, and because of passives it: restores stamina, builds 3 ultimate, and increases healing on you by a largr percent. Also, due to passives, it gives you minor brutality which is very hard to get, and not many other earthen heart abilities are used that often anyway.

As an example, on my pvp build, if Im in trouble, I cast igneous until I have some stamina to work with, then cast a couple heals (rally and vigor) then lay down the beatings from full hp.

Just realized i said everything that @Totalitarian just said

Oh well hope it helped.

You'll need to use stamina based heals as stated above. To use all the flame heal abilities, you'll need to be magicka based as all the flame abilities scale off your magicka. I'm 301 and have 30k in magicka as a tank and my flame lash heals for 12k in 2 seconds. Burning Embers heals me for 6k. Deep Breath is another good heal. All magicka based. Stam is what the guys above said... Vigor is pretty much tops right now.
