Looking for a pvp build for my dragonknight

LadyNalcarya · August 2017

So during the Midyear event I tried my dk (currently a crafter lol) in pvp. I used some cheesy setup to get the 50 kills achieve and now planning to convert that char into a full pvp build, since I'm kinda tired of pve and not really motivated to do trials atm.
I'm not experienced in pvp, sometimes I roll a char for nonvet campaign but thats about it. But I'd like to use something less cheesy than Selene+Viper, and would be nice to have a build that could effectively resist those proc builds. And I'm kinda lost atm. My character is a khajiit, 630+ cps, I have all skill lines leveled, and I could play either magicka or stamina build (might change chars race if I really like the build). Any advice?
Thanks in advance.

P.S. Yeah, I know, I know, I could just test for myself, but honestly I just want to try a premade build for now, since I dont have much experience in pvp.

bloodspawn, viper, fury .. 2h and S+B setup.. viper only on S+B

seems pretty generic and effective.

i use SnB & bow on my stam dk...was in 5 medium/2 heavy but felt a little squishy - so, just went back to 5 heavy/2 medium...

my monster set is offensive (velidreth), medium set isn't overly cheesy (red mountain)...

I used to have on viper, but, I was getting absolutely owned in battlegrounds (was fine for cp cyrodiil - but, gear is just less important there)...

was reading a thread comparing black rose and warrior's fury...everyone was raving on the fury set, so, giving it a try now...

it's nice having my health back over 30k again...have around 40k stamina and 15k magicka for all the dk buffs and shields...

we'll see, no worries about competing in cyrodiil - imperial city and battlegrounds are the real pvp challenge for myself...

Blood Spawn + Hulking + Tava's Favor (Heavy)

Thanks! Btw, hows the sustain with 5 heavy? Should I use stuff like stam recovery or cost reduction glyphs? ^^

I run 5 Sword Singer, 5 Shacklebreaker on my stam DK. Maelstrom sharpened greatsword and bow. This is for non cp only. All medium, all impen.

I'm like a newbie on pvp, started 2 weeks ago for the event, and i'm trying a mag dk using desert rose + 5 h shacklebreaker + 2 grothdarr (i want to test nerien'eth after update), flame staff front and snb back. I'm having fun but i know it's not a outstanding build as i'm not an outstanding player/pvper...

Tava will be your sustain set

At the start of the fight, you dodge roll once, then pop shuffle. Dodging an attack grants you ults, and ulting will give you back a lot of resources. You will have to manage your dodge roll well, though, don't dodge roll too much.

Oh, thats almost like my old pve tanking build. Thanks again

unless i'm fighting in battlegrounds or no cp pvp - sustain isn't too much an issue if you have a bow or staff on one of your bars...

heavy attacks aren't sexy, but, they're fairly important these days...

although it took a bit of a nerf a couple patches ago - black rose definitely helps me keep the party going...

your gear is fine...as long as you're using a mundus stone, food/drink that make sense for your build and potions (the three from the siege merchants are very okay) - you have your bases covered for pvp...

you'll improve with practicing the basic stuff: block, shield, heal, buff/debuff, light/heavy attack weaving, dodge rolling...

once you figure out how to chose your fights and where to position yourself - you'll definitely find yourself improving quickly...
