How difficult it is to level a Stam DD DK via solo leveling in overland without Vigor ?
Has anyone done like that ?

    You don't need Vigor for overland content and delves ...

    NONE of my 8 toons have or use vigor. It's not needed for ANY overland activities.

    this. its not exactly vigor in that it only heals you, scales based on damage taken and its magika based in both its morphs, but... its a heal that saved my DK's butt many a time. http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Dragon+Blood

    I actualy used it on both my dragonknights morphing into green dragon blood on stam DK.

    The only stamina class that really gets a huge boost with Vigor is the stamina Nightblade. DK is fine with dragon blood and a few other nifty class tricks, templars are fine with their numerous heals, sorc is fine as well though may want to invest in a two hander if going stam for better survivability, and warden has plant heals again...

    I have all classes done in stamina version, and the only one who really is strapped for healing there is the nightblade. And even that got way better with more weapon skills allowing heal options these days (wish my nightblade main had a stab-stab-stab-heal back in the day I levelled her...)

    If you suck a bit, like me. Vigor is helpful. So you'll have to visit the PVP toilet for a while.

    Potentially four, in fact, though GDB will be the best of the bunch.

    You also have built in healing from Battle Roar passive every time you Ult.

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Earn it.

    IRL'ing for a while for assorted reasons, in forum, and in game.

    Vigor became a big deal because it was a really good group heal that suited stamDK tanks, then ZoS nerfed the group heal aspect so it's not the go to skill it once was. Green Dragon Blood comes with the DK anyway, so you've got a good self-heal to hand.

    GDB is a great panic button until you get Vigor. But in my experience, Vigor is better. GDB heals for 1/3 of your health, which is useful when you have very low health. but Vigor gives you a fixed total heal, which makes it more useful when your health is not critical. More importantly, because it's a Heal-Over-Time you can hit it as you buff up before an encounter and it keeps you going strong.

    I'm actually leveling a DK tank. so far, I'm level 20 with. I don't even need to heal as I take very little damage. Finished the main storyline in Morrowind, and started main questline for AD (my favorite). Have absolutely no issues soloing other than the fact it takes me a little longer than normal to kill things...Not that much though. I do have to say I'm having fun with casters and defensive stance. I'll waste time just to watch them kill themselves.

    Vigors extremely easy to get in kyne, like 3-4 hours, just get a resto and spam mutagen in a big groups
    I'm a PVE roleplayer concerned about my vampires stage 4 skin tone and keep getting load screens so I came here to distract people from major issues with a rant thread about my characters cosmetic appearance.

    If you struggle solo leveling in overland, Vigor is not gonna help much.

    Pick some mediocre skills, use a sub-mediocre rotation use a random mediocre dropped set and you should be steam rolling solo PvE content. Steam rolling.

    Not trying to sound snippy,. Just a fact.

    usually blood craze is enough, when you level you should kill faster then die, so DPS builds are better for leveling then tanky.

    DK can be leveled easy without vigor. If you decide on DW as main bar weapons, use bloodthirst and combine it with green dragon blood. If you decide to use 2h as main weapon, there is always rally. If you decide to use bow, draining shot is an option.
