Is it decent or even viable?

Was thinking of using it on a stam dk with dw and possibly even skoria

    You know, considering all the hype it received I have not seen a single red mountain build yet in PVP. Viper and Velidreth - by the dozens.

    Yeah me either. I don't like viper on my dk and don't have veli.

    Was thinking of trying something different. The idea just sounds cool.

    I've got a build with RM on my Dunmer stam dk (because ofc he's a Dunmer). i like it.

    1t will let me screw around with new options as I'll be able to farm for jewelry, and I have a couple of build ideas using it that I've been wanting to try out.



    Bonus of having it is it doubles as awesome for PvE too.

    I caught the build from a guy running Red Mountain, Widowmaker and Velidreth the other day. I rage blacked-out and probably sent him all kinds of mean messages. -_-

    Red Mountain has a 10% proc chance. I tested it against Wrothgar giants. To get a decent proc rate, 1v1, you basically need to run Flurry. If you do that in a controlled, sustained fight against a non-moving giant it usually outperforms Viper. PvP, however, is not like that. In PvP you get interrupted, CCd, or the target moves so much that not all strikes from Flurry hit them. In that case the guaranteed proc, from Viper, every 4 seconds works out much better.

    I run Skoria and Viper on my stam DK. Skoria works exceptionally well with Flurry.

    I've seen a certain AD player on xbox NA using that and elegance. Death recap just read clench, heavy attack, and red mountain.

    I believe this guy was on a MagNB, as well

    Now there's a build you don't see every day

    By the time you do, it's too late. Funny thing is a guild mate warned me about said NB. I didn't believe it till I saw the recap.
