Go easy on me, I've been on and off with DK but I'm really starting to enjoy it and get to grips I think? I think they have an awesome role in PvP!

    I'd also like to ask players thoughts on switching my current set up:

    2 Bloodspawn
    5 Kagrenacs
    5 Desert Rose

    to

    2 Bloodspawn
    5 Seducer (heavy)
    5 Vicious Death

    as there's been a LOT of times where a VD proc would have been awesome. Anyone tried that set up?

    Maybe Bloodthorn instead of Seducer. I'm using nearly the same set up as you. 2 bloodspawn, 5Kags and 5 bloodthorn. I went from Blackrose with 2 sustain jewelry enchants to kags with all damage enchants just because I could derive all my sustain from bloodthorn, and battleroar. Bloodthorn is great because it gives you stam as well as magicka and even while blocking. It also gives you spell power which adds into major sorcery.

    That is definitely something I'd really like to try! But that would be a 5 light set up so it'd be have to be next update after the procs are nerfed! Cheers!

    I want to include Vicious Death though in the next evolution of the build, desperately want to try it out.

    How much have you enjoyed the set up with desert rose vs using something like 5x seducer, 5x sun, 2x grothdarr/blood spawn?

    You suffer quite badly when you're not getting hit. In all honesty, I actually think there are better options but my DK's gear is just hand-me-downs from my Templar. Not rich enough to play about with different set ups.

    I highly recommend you try BSW on mDK. I know we had spoken about running it on magplar, with the lack of native fire damage requiring a slightly different build, but on mDK it procs on everything and is like 60% stronger than sun and twice as effective as kags.

    That being said, 5 vicious death is great because with talons and fossilize and snares DK can somewhat force people into its proc range

    I'm gonna try VD first but I think I can collect BSW eventually doing dailies and occasional farming, it'll probably be epic on mDK for solo/small scale PvP.

    Far from experienced on the mag DK, I'm still levelling the passives lol. Earthen Heart is terribly slow, I don't even want to think about Undaunted!

    Best advice I can give you is don't grind it. Get into PvP as soon as you hit level 10! Load all your skills out the same as your Stam DK so it feels familiar but remember that your damage skills heal you over time or have a delay so you can't be reliant on 1 or 2 instant, massive burst heals. I actually started this character as an Imperial Stam DK but then switched at around level 25 to offer more group utility as my guild was doing an Emperor run in BwB. I'm glad I did.

    Pt.2 Video is up on YouTube, it shows how take down organised Eye of Storm groups (not solo btw, but as a Mag DK you will play a large part in it with an AoE interrupt), survive procs and increase Magicka cost poisons. Currently the 3 biggest killers in Cyrodiil right now.

    I'm pretty confident it's BiS for heavy mDK. When I took it out in open world I still had a lot of trouble, but it was because mobility and healing problems, damage and sustain were solid

    Still haven't found the right set for me, this video includes Grothdarr, Bloodspawn, Rattlecage, Desert Rose, Trainee and even Elegant when I was trying out the lightning staff to set big groups off balance. You can also get a pretty disgusting heavy attack from that set xD. Anyway, check the video out, it's got some pretty cool music!
