Build concept newbie

Hey folks, thanks for dropping in. So I've been tinkering with a fun little build for a little bit. This is my attempt at getting into building sets and understanding how the game works. It's most a mash-up of @Masel92 "Eruption" build and Alcast's "Venom" build. Race is Imperial and its a stamDK.

Attributes: 3 in health and the rest into stam, the 3 points in health to get me over to the next thousand, I believe it was 12k, with the Imperial health passives I sit at 18.5K.

So here's the two builds, one is a set prior to actually conquering vCoA2 and the second is after I finally beat it and that I get the shoulders to drop in the undaunted chest. I'm still new to how things proc (read: how things even work) so if the build is off or won't work then by all means let me know.

It's a set aimed at PvE, just overland and dungeon runs.

Skills:
FB Noxious Breath, Rending Slashes, Venomous Claw, Flames of Oblivion, Blade Cloak
BB Rearming Trap, Endless Hail, Poison Injection, Green Dragon Blood, Molten Armaments

CP's follow Alcasts Venom build. I'm currently at 202.

Edited for insanely poor ability to stick a picture into a thread.

You can edit your OP. The edit button is in a different place. At least iirc.

If I may give you some advice:

Take 2 red mountain weapons on the front bar... Having hundings on both bars will give you a nice damage boost.

The reason 1+1 works with sunderflame is that you don't lose uptime by having it on one bar only

There is a unique red mountain dagger that you can buy for 8-10k.

As a Stam DK, you should have no problem getting the Skoria set to proc. You've got lots of DOTs in your damage rotation.

I was hoping to hear from you @Masel92. Your build is awesome! I will look for that SotRM dagger.

What do you mean 1+1 working with sunderflame? and what exactly is uptime?

@jabrone77 @JerzeeDevil

Inspired by and very close to your builds as well.

I run 1 Sunderflame weapon and 1 Red Mountain dagger (Infused) probably the named one he is referring to on my front bar. This way keeps both sets active + Skoria.

P.S. (edit) Undaunted passives will boost your stats and you can move those 3 Healthy points back into Stamina!

Sweet!!

I appreciate the shout out, but I can't take credit for the build. I didn't make it, I just use it. It's from Xynode. I am just a huge fan of it, and his builds in general.
I like what you've put together, though. I might try this out on a alt!

boombazookajd · January 2018

I still need to actually farm the necessary gear, specifically the Red Mountain stuff. It's all just theory right now, I have no idea what kind of DPS I will actually put out yet. That's still to come.

@jabrone77 as long as credit is being given, I don't want to inadvertently yank someone's build as my own.

I'm calling this "Rage of the Red Mountain".

All good. Definitely enough diffrence here to call this your own. Here's to many more builds!

Any build with 3 health is stupid to begin with, you have some free mag if you go full stam + a tri glyph.

And for gears. You want to lose agi and get a monster set like krag. And for dk sunderflame is a very good choice to replace red mountain.
