    Stan DK doesn't have a spammable

    Stam DKs have various stamina based spammables through weapon abilities (bow, 2H, DW) and even a guild ability (silver bolts)

    Yeah but that's not a spammable ,I can use those same spammables on other stam builds like Nbs or Templars which also class class spammables

    Weapon Spammables =/= Stam based class spammables

    Also silver bolts is NOT a spammble.

    @Anti_Virus
    The concept of this post isn't just about class based abilities. It's about whether a mag/stam build has access to similar abilities that everyone else has. (weapons abilities, guild abilities, class abilities, or armor sets) And Silver Bolts is spammable. It's cast time is instant.

    My magplar doesnt have any access to spammable roots/talons?

    Where do you want to go with this thread?

    As a magdk you still have access to executioner even though is physical dmg? You could even say all other stamina classes who dont use 2h also is missing a execute skill.

    I think Poison injection from the Bow skill line is an execute and the whole dual wield skill line has a build-in execute through a passive. So what you are saying is not really true since only Sword and shield users don't have an execute as far as I know.

    Also, saying mDK has access to the 2h execute skill is a bit stupid, that doesn't even do damage due to how damage scaling works.

    I think Magdk got an execute in ferocious leap!

    Ferocious leap is stronger than any execute.

    And you thinking poison injection or the whole dual wield skill line is an execute is even more stupid than using 2h executioner on a mag class.

    Give DKs the implosion passive but in poison/fire. Synergises with dots and sorc already has execute. It would make dots more viable in PvP since DKs damage just be outhealed normally, even whilst the enemy is low.

    Stamina Nightblade. I want a siphoning ability. Particularly Cripple but a stam morph.


    If you mean "siphoning ability" as in doing damage and receiving heals from it- you have access to that concept via DW (Bloodcraze, Bloodthirst, Lascerate), Bow (Draining Shot), a few armor sets, and poisons.

    edited for grammar

    Cripple is the complete package though. Snare,Speed Boost, Damage, heals and offers a lot with the siphoning passives. None of those abilties you mentioned can do all this in 1 sweet package.

    Cripple heals? In what universe?

    Maybe because it is an ultimate, which, by your way of thinking, mDK's need to use as an execute. All other classes can use their ultimate strategically, so that is just wrong.

    As for Poison injection: The damage over time is increased against targets under 50% health.

    As for dual wield skill line: The Slaughter passive increases damage done with dual wield abilities by 20% against targets under 25% health.

    These work as stam based executes, and quite well actually. You said all stamina builds who dont want to run 2h lack an execute, but they don't...

    I'm not saying mDK needs an execute, I personally think they don't. But saying mDK's can use executioner from the 2h skill line and that all stamina builds who dont want to run 2h lack an execute is just ridiculous.

    Should this thread be changed to say "name abilities or passives that classes dont have access to (both in class and outside sources)."

    Because one of the strengths of magplar is that I can get both major crit+ minor sorcery+ ulti gen off one skill while adding another skill to get major sorcery+ mag increase+ mag recovery increase.

    Stamplar can also run weapon lines skills for their major brutality buffs while having a percentage boost to WD via their passive.

    I know ZOS has said in advertising that the game is intended to play like Skyrim; "play as you want". But they control the balance of the game through effectiveness of how accessible each class/build can gather their buffs in pve/PvP content.

    Of the top of my head, mag dk really has no access to an execute, while their Stam brothers can use two hander+bow. But Stam DK loses out on a powerful self-heal. That's simply balance :).

    I'd agree, every class needs a way to execute or to layer on burst. As a magplar you can choose to run consistent DMG with Jesus beam or run purfying light+unstable core; both effective. But magDK has no access to easy burst aside from ultimates; but they can take more hits and control the field of Battle. End result is the same.

    But is that bad? Its a "Coke/Pepsi" argument; I'll still be able to have my soft drink with my pizza.

    This is actually pretty legit. Stamplars, do have access to a stamina based root in the form of the Fighter's Guild ability Trap Beast (which is fantastic to use)... but I can't think of a magicka-based root for MagPlars.

    So, MagPlars are missing a magicka-based root!

    mDK has no access to any magicka based execute via class skills, passives, weapons, mages guild, enchants or potions. Should S&B or destro skills lines be given an execute? Or the mages guild skill line?

    Magplar has no access to a root. Should the resto staff be given a root? While many magplars don't use resto staves, healers often do and adding a defensive mechanism to heal specs seems like s good fit.

    EDIT: Magplars can get a root via the entrapping poisons. It's not a reliable root though.

    I don't really know magDK's much at all, but I'd suspect an execute may be a bit on the strong side.. I mean, once those dots are built up - won't the combination of dot damage and anytime's be as good as an execute already ?

    MDKs DoTs are easily purged. And with that logic- you're saying no one needs an execute if they're doing damage prior to.
