One of the things Gilliam points out in his video is effective sustain via class passives. NBs and Templars, for example, have around 500 effective magicka sustain from their passives/actives (excluding heavy attacking). mDK has like 200 effective magicka sustain. In no universe is that "perfectly fine."

Have you noticed that sorcs tend to consider other classes as "perfectly fine"? I'm starting to believe they do that on purpose...
Regarding DK Passives, I'm gonna say it again: Zenimax, change combustion, it is a bad passive that does nothing...

Combustion does a lot in terms of PvE damage, that's one of the top reasons why Mag and StamDKs can still do good damage in parses. And stamblades can just cloak and use the second cast of rally to have a huge burst heal.

Forum Sorc?
I gave up on the Sorc class about a year ago honestly...the class has been trash since TG.....I mean if you like a Mine Camping Turret Class that stacks shields, that is outclassed by every stam build in the game then yes play Mag Sorc...if you want to play the mobile Squishy Caster Sorc from 1.x? Well thats been dead for a very long time....
I run a Destro/Resto Mag DK now (I don't even see anyone on PC-NA running any build close to mine) and its better then my Mag Sorc in every way...AND it can actually kill those annoying perma block tanks(unlike my Sorc who simply can't).
I am not saying Mag DK is perfect, but its far more "fun" then Mag Sorc, and with the right setup is every bit as strong...the Destro/Resto Mag DK Pyromancer build from 1.x is back, and its better then ever....with the proper setup...it performs very well, and can fill multiple roles in pvp while dishing out considerable damage....
Yes, Battle Roar needs to be adjusted to be on par with other classes sustain passives. They also need a passive that perhaps makes the enemy take a set % of damage from a DOT if they cleanse it since Mag DK are literally reliant on them....
I am just saying DK isn't as bad as its parroted on here, just like Sorc isn't as good as parroted on here...Warden is the best Stamina and Magicka PVP class in the game by a large margin for folks who know how to use them....but thats a topic for another post.

People don't run that build because it isn't particularly effective as a solo/small-scale build. I don't know what group sizes you run that build in, but at a certain number of people you can kind of run whatever you want and the class/build weaknesses can be compensated by the group. But once you reach a certain group size, assuming you want to add the most you can to the group make up, you need to start asking yourself do you bring anything to the table that another class can't do better.
For me, that's been the big problem of mDK in PvP since IC came out. The class is weak solo, strong in groups of 2-4, and then is quickly eclipsed by other classes in groups of 5+. There's a reason Kodi's mDK solo streams all end in him rage switching to another class, and a reason the competitive guilds like Invictus and Dracarys aren't running any mDKs in larger groups.
You should watch the first 20 minutes of Gilliam's video he does a pretty good job addressing the major problems of the DK class. Though it's mostly slanted towards PvE, many of the DK issues are shared between the two game modes. Mainly, sustain is terrible. If our sustain was better, solo play would be more viable since it would open up more build variety. Second, DoTs are generally weak in PvP and DK is the DoT class. That's pretty self explanatory. If Shifting Standard was mobile, or if DK had an ability to spread DoTs (a contagion type skill) then the class would become viable in larger groups again.
Combustion does a lot in terms of PvE damage, that's one of the top reasons why Mag and StamDKs can still do good damage in parses. And stamblades can just cloak and use the second cast of rally to have a huge burst heal.
Buf forces you as a mDK to run flame based attacks, hoping the RGN god to help you to improve your DPS through a status that sometimes doesn't come.
In the case of StamDKs it is even worst, or you run a DoT build or you can't use the passive (unless you slot Poison arrow and lethal arrow which is almost the same). There are plenty of stam PvP builds that doesn't use it.
The other option for stamDK is to run a poison/flame glyph on a charged weapon, but who would do that having access to Infused and disease glyph... or even better, a charged + shock glyph?

@RinaldoGandolphi i want to address your sustain comment although not all of this wall of text is directed at you.
With perfect ulti gen (3 per second, no sets such as bloodspawn) DK gets ~290 recovery. Looking at a 100 cost ulti taking ~33 seconds to build (or ~16 potential regen ticks).
It's not bad even after the nerf, right? Well. That's the only sustain mechanic MagDKs have. Sure helping hands can give some decent stam sustain (990 for each earthen heart ability cast) but magicka sustain isn't all that great for magdk now seeing as i used to get like, 3-4k more magicka per battle roar.
DKs have no other sustain than the ones listed above. Compare that to other classes:
- Nightblade: magicka (and now stam) returned for killing an opponent (~2k iirc), 15% to all recovery, active sustain abilities such as siphoning attacks (4200 over 20 seconds)
- Warden: 4029 of their primary resource over 25 seconds (no cast cost). That alone is equivalent to magdk for primary resource sustain. 12% stam/magicka recovery. 250 stam/magicka for every green balance ability casted.
- Sorc: magicka back when pet dies (eh kinda whatever but including just to show), health/stam recov by 20%, reduce costs by 5%, 10% magicka recov, 4.5k magicka back when killing a target with their execute.
So wardens get more primary sustain by casting a free skill that also gives major sorcery and a small purge or major brutality on top of their recovery bonuses and other passives.
Nightblades get a lot of recovery and recovery for kills as well as a pretty good active ability for sustain (that alone gives more per second to primary stat than battle roar).
If a sorc kills just 1 person in 33 seconds theyve got the same magicka back than DK does for battle roar in the same time, if they manage to get 1 dark deal off they will get more magicka back than a dk does in 33 seconds with battleroar. Just 1 kill OR 1 cast of darkdeal in 33 seconds and they've got the sustain we do around battleroar.
I left out templar because i feel their sustain is not great either. They get some cost reduction and rune but it's meh compared to what the other 3 classes have.
This affects overall gameplay as DK (and templar) are often forced to run more sustain oriented sets and being the so called "stand your ground" classes the expend more of their secondary and tertiary resource pools than others. For example, most warden, nightblade, and sorc magicka builds don't need nearly the stam sustain that DK does (and templar).
Even some of the other class defining passives (such as 12% healing w/ draconic power) is nearly passed up by other classes. Nightblades get minor vitality w/ swallow soul and 3% global healing bonus for each siphoning ability. The same line that has some good damage/cc abilities also grants them their typical class ulti gen passive on top of additional ulti gen from pots.
Warden gets 2% healing for each green balance ability and access to major mending.
So that's not really special about DK.
What makes DK special then? Talons? Nah, warden has that and sorc has an even better version for most situations. Mobility? nope. Burst? Nope. Tanky passives? nope, templar and warden both have bonus resists and templar has bonus to block damage too. Chains? Nope, worse than every other gap closer in the game. DoTS? Nope, templar and warden both have a really strong DoTs even AoE dots. There's really not much that separates DK from other classes.
DKs just look cool and are fun to play. That's why people play DK. They don't play it for any edge, that's why none of the big streamers both to play it much or at all - and when they do it's short lived. Go watch Sypher (who was a very competent DK in the olden days). He played magdk yesterday and it was sad compared to what he can do on other classes.
I genuinely encourage people who want to call out DKs to go try one and tell me how it plays out for you. I play most classes or have in the past and DK is my main because it's fun and kills feel rewarding but not because it's strong or because it's unique at this point. I could (and do) play the same style as my magdk on other classes and be more effective.

I think you and every non-templar overestimate cleanse.
DKs were crazy OP at Launch when my Templar Purify was better than it is now, yes? That's not the issue. If a tempar purifies a dot you happen to cast as a DK, cast it again. Your DoT is cheaper and still actually does damage. The templar cannot sustain such a strategy. And if a templar waits to purge all those DoTs, don't pretend like the poor DK wasted her magicka because she didn't: by waiting the Templar still took damage from those DoTs and purifying does not heal the damage that was inflicted. Fraction of a cost? Embers 1350 + Burning Breath 2700 = 4050 cost. Purifying Ritual 3705 + 518 nerf (not satisfied you want more) = 4223.7 cost. Oh and those DoTs have already done damage to me.
And it's not like DKs have a monopoly on DoTs such that the class is the only one screwed over by cleanse. DKs use embers, burning breath, and talons. I use Reflective Light, Purifying Light, Jesus Beam.
Purify pisses you off as a DK and you want to get it nerfed? Fine, lobby the all-mighty nerf hammer Wrobel wields will impunity. Get him to eviscerate templars such that they suck so bad nobody will want to play them. Just don't get bent out of shape when the non-DKs get Wrobel to gut your class such that you start looking at Destiny 2 Youtube clips. Oh wait, he already did that.
Well then, I guess that how we devolved in ESO. The classes we play have been so eviscerated and struggle to do anything useful or distinctive, we'll just sit back and cheer when the nerfhammer comes down on anyone as long as it isn't us even though we know it will perpetuate the very problem all these nerfs have brought about in the first place: we have classes that are boring and frustrating to play.

Troll BS,
DK and NB BOTH have plenty of ability's and need NERFs. Both of those classes are the sole reason changes are being made to pvp.
Then they come here and cry because they get nerfed . Pick a build and be dps or tank , but NO class should have both the ability to do mass damage AND survive equally as well. THATS why most are upset with the pvp.
Dont sugar coat it like DK and NB are SOOO bad and need buffs. They need nerfed plain and simple. Take it however you want to look at it but changes are coming and ZoS knows it will fail if they dont tone dk and nb down.

Fraction of a cost? Embers 1350 + Burning Breath 2700 = 4050 cost. Purifying Ritual 3705 + 518 nerf (not satisfied you want more) = 4223.7 cost. Oh and those DoTs have already done damage to me.
And it's not like DKs have a monopoly on DoTs such that the class is the only one screwed over by cleanse. DKs use embers, burning breath, and talons. I use Reflective Light, Purifying Light, Jesus Beam.
Purify pisses you off as a DK and you want to get it nerfed? Fine, lobby the all-mighty nerf hammer Wrobel wields will impunity. Get him to eviscerate templars such that they suck so bad nobody will want to play them. Just don't get bent out of shape when the non-DKs get Wrobel to gut your class such that you start looking at Destiny 2 Youtube clips. Oh wait, he already did that.
Well then, I guess that how we devolved in ESO. The classes we play have been so eviscerated and struggle to do anything useful or distinctive, we'll just sit back and cheer when the nerfhammer comes down on anyone as long as it isn't us even though we know it will perpetuate the very problem all these nerfs have brought about in the first place: we have classes that are boring and frustrating to play.

Keep abusing your abilities in Cyro. Its helping your cause , sooo much
Go play DK. Let's see how that turns out for you.
Just a troll... he did the same in the NB section
Troll BS,
DK and NB BOTH have plenty of ability's and need NERFs. Both of those classes are the sole reason changes are being made to pvp.
Then they come here and cry because they get nerfed . Pick a build and be dps or tank , but NO class should have both the ability to do mass damage AND survive equally as well. THATS why most are upset with the pvp.
Dont sugar coat it like DK and NB are SOOO bad and need buffs. They need nerfed plain and simple. Take it however you want to look at it but changes are coming and ZoS knows it will fail if they dont tone dk and nb down.
I was watching a sorc on Twitch on the EU server and they were excited about the 'New Petrify' that they are getting.
People don't run that build because it isn't particularly effective as a solo/small-scale build. I don't know what group sizes you run that build in, but at a certain number of people you can kind of run whatever you want and the class/build weaknesses can be compensated by the group. But once you reach a certain group size, assuming you want to add the most you can to the group make up, you need to start asking yourself do you bring anything to the table that another class can't do better.
