    I run it in no-CP... so I'm failing to see the issue?

    Because armor sustain has also been nerfed -- heavy has been nerfed the hardest -- and mDKs are functionally losing about half of our Battle Roar sustain. With heavy, we'll have to invest so much into regen and cost reduction we'll be at base spell cost and not be able to kill anything.

    Light armor + S&B maybe; heavy + S&B? Very doubtful. Get on PTS and try it out.

    I can't, that's why I'm asking here... I play XBox now. No more gaming rig.

    On my new MagDK, I don't have rank II of battle roar yet, nor all the HA passives unlocked, and I'm not really having sustain issues. It certainly requires some tactical resto use, and doesn't allowing panic-faceroll-buttonmashing... but I do very well with him.

    How bad is the battleroar nerf? The patch notes only give generalities... so I'm not sure of the severity.

    On a max level character, Leap now gives less resources than a tripot. And it's the same amount for all stats, so mag DKs don't get proportionately more magicka back.

    Using ult cost reduction sets like Dragonguard and Alteration Mastery will no longer synergize well with DKs. You'll be able to use more ults, but not get more resources, so they are much less desirable.

    It's costs twice as much to block now... playing on the no co campaign will costs u about 15% to 20% to block then regular campaign ... but they nerfed block rate now it costs you every .25 from .5. So that's x2 increase...... with points in blocking a rapid strikes took my 38k stam bar down to 50% in secs... it will cost you about 5k to 6k stam a sec to block if your taking consistent damage... on no cp your looking at 6k+ a sec lol

    how do you plan to kill even a deer with that setup?

    In reply to the original question. Damage shields and LA basically

    Deer are banned from PvP bro..You know that..
    :open_mouth:

    Lol so will there be more or less mdks going extinct during morrowind than the 1.5-1.6 nerf era?
    I'm sure there are many viable mdk setups next patch but prolly gonna have to focus on more of support role based on the team I guess.

    I think magicka will hurt and will be ok.... It will be the only viable way a DK can effectively play in PVP.... Stam is freaking broke...

    I already run 5 light 2 heavy.

    It will be ok just don't hold down block... my magicka DK faired better then my stam dk against a stam sorc in my testing ... My magicka forced the stam sorc to back off 1 time but when he came back to attack a second time I was dead ... He took all my stam the first attack.. My stam DK just melted ... everything is just to expensive now and healing sucked defiles are to strong ...

    What other attack would drain your Stam as fast as Rapid Strikes? Even it should only tick your block cost twice per ability use.

    How effective is Rapid Strikes if they're rooted, and you're standing behind them?

    In NO CP i consider this a buff to Mag DK. Since it gives the same Magicka as a 28,5k statpool, the Magicka return will be almost the same. A MagDK in No CP would only have more thank 30k Magicka, if they really push it, and dont invest in health / stam. But for the Stamina return, it will be DOUBLED on the return. So the overall stat gain will increase significantly.

    There's nothing wrong with that. Except trying to find out how to make up those weaknesses.

    Or, I could just go back to playing sorc and save myself a lot of grief. As much as I love my MagDKs, a couple of months of not totally sucking as a class spec has made me reluctant to bother going back to being a guinea pig for Wrobel's inability to grasp how the class functions. Or he does, and doesn't care, which is worse.

    I just tried light armor today on my magDk.The damage was nice I'm not going to lie, but I kept on dying way too fast as I'm not used to light armor with my dk. I just don't see myself using heavy when morrowind drops so I just dont know what to do with my dk.

    Born, Bred & Made in Manchester UK, RIP 22 Angels. 22/05/2017

    PC-EU

    The Place by Tony Walsh Please Read
    This is the place in the North West of England

    It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing

    From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking

    Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and



    So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands

    We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands

    And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton

    And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten



    And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome

    And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it

    And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth

    But the Manchester way is to make it yourself



    And make us a record, a new number one

    And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!

    And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league

    And make us sing louder and make us believe it



    that this is the place that has helped shape the world

    And that this the place where a Manchester girl

    Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side

    Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride



    And this is the place with appliance of science

    We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance

    In the face of a challenge we always stand tall

    Mancunians in union delivered it all



    Such as housing and libraries, and health, education

    And unions and co-ops, the first railway station

    So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!

    But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!



    And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls

    And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul

    And so this is the place to do business, then dance

    Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance



    And this is the place where we first played as kids

    And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did

    And this is the place where our folks came to work

    Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt



    And they built us a city. They built us these towns

    And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound

    Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves

    They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves



    And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe

    The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive

    And to work and to build, to connect and create and

    Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great



    And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own

    Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home

    And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat

    All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets



    Because this is a place that has been through some hard times

    Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times

    But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit

    Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics



    And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city

    But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity

    Because this a place where we stand strong together

    With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever



    And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)

    Can get funding and something to help with their scheme

    Because this is the place that understands your grand plans

    We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!



    Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere

    You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer

    You can live local, give local. We can honestly say

    We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way



    And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams

    We support local dreamers to work for their dreams

    We support local groups and the great work they do

    So can you …help us help… local people like you?



    Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes

    Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones

    ‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact

    That this is the place. We should give something back.

    Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.

    If I play my magDK when Morrowind hits I will probably stick to his current build:
    5pc Kagrenac
    2pc Bloodspawn
    3pc Willpower
    2pc Transmutation (on 1H bar)

    Might sub in a new set or Silk of the Sun but I always seem to drift back to this set up. Good sustain, even after Morrowind hits, and good damage.
