def looking forward to the changes for mDK ... i started off having a magblade as my main when i first started the game... but soon got bored of him so I started a mDK and LOVE playing him... so much more to do with keeping track of the DoT's and everything

Pretty sure the goal will be, say that they are at a level of suck right now around 7, let's turn that down to about 5. Meanwhile let's buff all magic classes at the same time. Net change remains the same as it is today

Id guess that an un-purgable morph of one of the DoTs would be a way to keep pressure. It doesn't have to be a problem with NBs, as Cloak dies not purge, just reduces damage to zero.

DKs were at the top of the food chain right until the end of 1.5. It was a long reign, only ended by CP-fueled Sorcs and NBs

I have to say I'm a little nervous about the forthcoming mDk "buffs" - it's already an incredibly lethal spec 1v1. Also, anything they may do has the potential to buff stam Dk which is already arguably the best for 1vX and insanely good 1v1.

I wonder if they will fix chains this time around.

Ugh, cyrodiil will be a wasteland of unkillable mdks and magplars. Like this meta needs more tanks.

but what other class than a magdk has to have such a crutch like vampire to do well none

Vamp is pretty mandatory for Magplar.

If the changes will good or bad we will know in the next patch, but my hope is gone.

Mine too man. We are getting closer and closer to this update and no dialogue has begun. Whatever these changes are they are already coded down so for better or worse their is no way to stop or change it. More and more I think this update will be more about keeping the PvP car rolling that making it look or drive nicely. If it fails we get to wait another 8months.

@AverageJo3Gam3r , I'd be cool with incap costing more like 75-80.

I really don't think that constitution needs to be changed. Playing no CP campaigns BR + constitution feels very fair. What doesn't feel fair is the "free" damage you can get out of running a set like viper and a set like tremorscale. That's like 14k procs that I don't have to light attack --> ransack --> bash for. That's instant burst that they can't heal through (and if they did, that equates to more LA --> ransack --> bash rotations along with CC). I think that this, combined with CP really allows people to sustain ad nauseum - albeit, that's assisted quite a bit by being a redguard or playing DK/stam sorc.

I am a huge fan of removing the weapon damage buff on BR (or making it weapon + spell damage) and changing one stam bonus to magicka. The goal of that set is to be a sustain set, a la seducer for heavy armor builds. I think it does that well, but it's paired with proc sets that have brought about this aprocalypse.

I don't have a huge opinion on RD or major evasion. I think shields should probably get a duration buff based on LA pieces worn and combine the reduce cost/recovery passives like on medium armor.

On the note of magDK (my love), I think that whip needs a slight upgrade in damage (~10-15%) only on the Flame Lash morph. Or the power lash proc could be an execute opportunity. Dragonsblood desperately needs rework and maybe should be something like vigor, but less absurd. I think that a dot component would be amazing because we take very little advantage of the increased healing when we have volatile up + igneous major mending. I'd love to see minor expedition attached to wings, lasting just for the duration of the ability - it makes sense, shouldn't flapping huge wings speed you up a little? I also think that the first Draconic passive merits a little bit of a look. It'd be a cool thing to combine some small block cost reduction in as well.

I am adamantly against suggestions that major evasion be added back to cinder storm, but I think it is another great opportunity to give magDK an attrition execute. Leave the PvE morph the way it is and make the snare morph either scale damage with low health targets or cause them to take more damage from fire.

I know it's likely an unpopular opinion, but I really don't want ZOS to add an execute like killer's blade or endless fury. I don't want a simple kill button. I like the deliberate control I can have over an area, but right now (besides the obviously poor healing) I feel like I have such a difficult time closing out kills when I'm outnumbered.

@AverageJo3Gam3r , I think that it's manageable. It's so resource intensive if you're playing a S&B/S&B build. I think @DKsUnite posted a video showing how much he has to expend to heal through a single poison injection. And while many people don't play his style of magDK, it's absurd that a tank would take that much damage and expend that many resources just to heal a single dot.

It's just unfortunate that many other classes can afford to skip out on that allotment of CP and still have excellent healing.
