Best pots for stam DK dps

Vapirko · March 2017

I haven't been using potions at all, time to start. What is the go to pot for raising dps on a stam character?

By not at all I mean only stam health pots for PvE

Same for all dedicated stamina DDs: Weapon Crit (Major Savagery), Weapon Power (Major brutality) and Stamina.

Important note:
- Drink your potion on a bar without a passive Major savagery slotted (such as Expert hunter)
- Swap to your other bar (which has Major Savagery slottedà
- Swap back, boom, you've lost your buff, which is why it's important to either slot it on both bars, or none if you use potions with this buff.

Hmm this is more for solo play then? Cause major brutality doesn't stack right and ideally a support member is running major brutality for the party.

I wouldn't set up a character under this assumption, as it is generally not the case.

Not really solo play, more like "budget play", since getting all those buffs (Major brutality + savagery) means you have to sacrifice 3 slots only to get your own buffs. It is fine for solo play and group dungeons in good groups (or if you're completely broke and can't afford crafted potions), but that shouldn't be the basis for high DPS characters. Especially as a stam DK, you won't have enough slots to keep all your DoTs going, even more so if you don't have vMA daggers (since those save you a slot in an optimized rotation).

And don't count on it in 12-men trials, because Igneous weapons is unreliable af there.
