Let's make this thread constructive again:
What's the problem with mDK in open world in your opinion, and what type of mDK build are you playing?
What kind of changes would make your mDK perform better in open world and how would you implement them without making different mDK (or stam DK) builds overpowered against certain builds?
I personally don't see any problems with mDK open world performance on my destro/resto mDK, there's no "counter builds" that can ruin your PvP experience entirely as is the case for dodge roll builds on Live currently, which is why I think mDK is significantly better for open world than, say, a rollerblade.
But I haven't played & experienced open world with the S&B type, less mobile "tank DK", so maybe you and others have some important points I might've missed on those builds.
Rank 20 on 5 different characters. 2 got all 20 ranks from BGs. Last I checked, you don't get ranks from duels and if you wanna base it off duels then Mag DKs and Templars are severely over performing.

I play dw/s&b, 5 innate, 5 bloodthorn, 2 skoria. 5/1/1 light.
My main problems are: Lack of class sustain and defense. Two important things in OW.
Sustain: Battle roar has been nerfed a lot. Gilliam tested that it is the lowest of the passive sustain methods of any class. This leads to DKs often being forced into 2 sustain sets, see sheys build, and almost unplayable OW with one, wheras other classes can run 2x damage. I.e. truth and 7th. And sustain fine. You mentioned ele drain, but does that mean we should nerf everyone elses sustain down to MDK level and tell them to run ele?
Fix: Battle roar restored to main stat focused.
Lack of defense, (Wings being absolutely tragic to use. Doesn't absorb a lot as is and literally goes down in 1s against 2 ranged casters. For a 3.5k cost its pretty pathetic) This means that block is often used, and that has been continuously nerfed. And even a shield build has less than other classes. Temp can use shields+purge, NB shields+cloak. Sorc better shields+streak. DK as general is countered quite hard against ranged, low mobility, and chains aside, little to deal with it.
Fix: Wings should be 3 projectiles per target for 4s. Less uptime in 1v1. Usable in 1vX. Also have it reflect/deflect bird/pulse. And not take status effects from projeciles like flare. Its only fair.
DK doesn't even have comparable mobility, stamsorc, one of my old characters has little class defense, but still has mobility for use. You can't escape/reposition well with chains, so many run mist, which vegetises you and is a heavy mag loss. I don't want 2x expedition, nor streak.
FIX: Reflective morph of wings to remove snares for 4s. Less tanky than mist, and less length than FM, but a unique class buff for the "slow but steady." Stam can use rally again too, and would hold some footing again.
Bonus round: No execute. Not even defacto one anymore. Dots used to be the best, then power whip hit hard and was undodgable, meaning PvE parse wont suffer, and it could hit hard on the target no matter where they went like wrath/beam. Now nothing.
Pros about the class:
Damage is fine risk/reward wise, speccing into a damage build gets you good damage, but tanks lose out. Unlike a warden for example. The passives suck, being from old times, where soft caps were a thing, but DK has decently high base damage to counteract that. [StamDK needs more use passive wise. WOR is literally useless unless running a lackluster ult.]
High damage ult
Good lockdown
Fun, setup for a high damage whip.
Aesthetics.

Magplar has its own issues. But at least it has purge and very high heals for survivability. DK has no class defenses worth running. Hence running block so often.

Ok, this would really screw destro/resto though as you're already barely getting enough stamina to CC break & block once in a while. Unless you mean that they'd increase the restoration of main stat & keep the rest same as they are now (instead of how they were pre-Morrowind when everyone ran S&B on mDK), in which case it'd be really op in PvP.
Here's what I think could work instead:
- Removal of AoE cap on Draw Essence secondary effect. This would give tank DKs a really strong sustain ability to use when they're tanking 6+ players. 10+ players and the skill would be free to use and could even return magicka per cast. Plays straight into the strengths of S&B (tanking people).
- Perhaps Minor Magickasteal (same buff which largely allows destro/resto builds to sustain in PvP) on everyone in Talons?
Lack of defense, (Wings being absolutely tragic to use. Doesn't absorb a lot as is and literally goes down in 1s against 2 ranged casters.

Agreed, this would be a good change.DK doesn't even have comparable mobility, stamsorc, one of my old characters has little class defense, but still has mobility for use. You can't escape/reposition well with chains, so many run mist, which vegetises you and is a heavy mag loss. I don't want 2x expedition, nor streak.
FIX: Reflective morph of wings to remove snares for 4s. Less tanky than mist, and less length than FM, but a unique class buff for the "slow but steady." Stam can use rally again too, and would hold some footing again.
Again another buff that could be beneficial to overall balance, though I'd rather see ZOS make the "stand your ground" aspects of mDK stronger so that they don't need to escape as often and could utilize the tanking better.
Something like dmg increase (should deal as much DPS as LL or WoE), bigger radius on Ash Cloud (5->10m) & Major Evasion while in it could work & again plays into the S&B tank DK strengths and doesn't really benefit other types of DKs.
Could also make ranged DKs an option by giving them strong area denial.Bonus round: No execute. Not even defacto one anymore. Dots used to be the best, then power whip hit hard and was undodgable, meaning PvE parse wont suffer, and it could hit hard on the target no matter where they went like wrath/beam. Now nothing.
Wardens also lack one. Perhaps they could bring back the "deal extra damage with heavy attacks to targets below 50%" to Igneous Weapons, that morph is lackluster these days.

Yes the FIRST pts version of power lash was broken, and I was in support of NOT letting it change in that direction. But then what happened?
We got a cooldown and off balance nerf cooldown on top of it, then they changed the functionality of our legitimate ONLY damage ability in our entire skill line that doesn't hit for less than 2k.
The zaan set was overpowered, I agree but it also got nerfed, and in it's current state and in the state of mag dk currently it will be used 100% more effectively by magplar and even magblades because they have better skills and gap closers to maintain the sets damage usefulness along with EXECUTES to capitalize on the sets power even more. Dk's will not, and especially not after this current patch. If they can even manage to sustain well enough to get the proc to hit when they need it, let alone be able to stay in range long enough to matter.
Yes every class got hit hard with morrowind but only Dk's have been specifically targeted the last 4 patches in a row that ALL directly further punished our sustain SPECIFICALLY after morrowind, the other classes recieved buffs to their passives in exchange and had GOOD reworks on their skills. The dk ALREADY was the worst sustain class before morrowind, the following patch's since have made it IMPOSSIBLE to compete in any pve environment and made pvp a joke for us

I am talking about PVP. Not PVE.
With the changes now you can get more power lashes than before unless you were using that niche blockade build. You are trying to spin facts and present the 3 second cooldown as a major nerf as if you were spamming power lashes before. The only nerf the ability got was making it dodgeable and thats not even a nerf. Thats a fix cause being undodgeable was a bug. But it also got buffed cause now it also got a cc. Power lash got a lot of changes but of course because the ability wasnt flat out buffed to the sky, every biased person proceeded to present the ability as trash.
As far as Zaan is concerned im not talking about which class can benefit the most. Im talking about you calling it awesome cause ur DK can use it even tho now u admit is OP.
In the latest PTS update multiple abilities became dodgeable, blockable etc so they all function the same way. And yet the DK drama shoot up again because once again their class is dead now that embers is dodgeable.
All classes are getting nerfed all over the place. Its not a contest. Which one is getting nerfed the most is again a biased opinion. You would present the atro changes as a buff even tho in no CP it actually got a huge nerf. But you would also present the power lash cd as a nerf even tho you can now arguably get more power lashes than before. You are talking about buffs and ability reworks on other classes even tho you present similar changes to ur class as huge nerfs that destroy the class. Thats the definition of being biased.
So chill. ZOS doesnt hate you. They are just incapable of balancing their game cause they refuse to rework the CP system.

There is no difference in this game between Pve and PvP, to talk about one is to talk about the other by neccesity of the games functions because there is no seperation of the two.
I have given exact reasons why the ADDITION of a 3 sec cooldown on lash on top of ALL previous nerfs is far to much for Dk's now to handle on an already struggling class for sustain and damage before and after morrowind dropped. The dodge part I already stated for both LASH and EMBERS that I do not give a crap about, hell make Dragon Leap dodgeable for all I care.
Those ARE NOT THE ISSUE as I clearly indicated in my INTRO of the very beggining of my first post. Which you apparently haven't
even read as I already addressed all of your points here.
By the by, if you paid attention I clearly said it was awesome they had given dk's SOMETHING to
use as it was finally a different set, after viewing the PTS I revised my original opinion and I have NO ISSUE with the nerf to it at all. I mean christ, the set hasn't even landed on live yet.
The dk as I said, is the ONLY class to be specifically punished multiple times on our only resource sustainibility AFTER morrowind to nerf PvP tanks, but it punished NON TANKS far more indiscriminately and as a result made the class weaker in all aspects far more than every other class.
That is called IMBALANCE
Sabbathius wrote: »What I would like to see, before anything else, is a comprehensive DK review, including passives.
The theme of the game according to the devs has always been "play the way you like". Well, DK healers for example haven't been a thing in quite a while. When was the last time you guys say a DK main-heal a vet trial? Especially a leaderboard vet trial? Well, shouldn't that need fixing? Unless "play the way you like" is just hogwash.
Similarly, review DPS as DK, with emphasis on lack of range and execute options. It's fine if you want the class to be DoT-based. It's fine to want them to be upclose. But you also can't have these guys doing as much DPS as classes that can do it from 28m away, and which significantly outshine DKs in execute phase. There has to be sufficient compensation for being in harm's way.
And the same goes for every other class. When was the last time you saw a NB tank a vet trial? Not since their Sap Tanks got gutted, and they were pretty rare before that. Or a Sorc main-heal? As long as these things are the norm, and we're focusing on individual nerfs, the game will remain broken overall.
Ideally I would like to see every class well capable and even desirable at each role - tanking, healing and DPS. They may do them in different ways. To use WoW as an example, a bear druid tank tanked with dodge and agility, by avoiding damage. A warrior tank tanked by blocking the damage. Paladin tank tanked by a mix of blocking and healing through it. And so on. And each one of these tanks was perfectly competitive, and depending on specific boss it often made sense to switch the main tank and off-tank, which made every class tank optimal somewhere. The way Warden was done was interesting. They got a distinct DPS tree, healing tree and tanking tree. And while they still need some tweaking, the framework is there. But the older classes are not so well laid out.
Fixing that FIRST, because it is meta-level stuff, and THEN worrying about individual skills is the way to go, in my opinion. Crying over Whip or dodgeable Searing Strike isn't going to do much in a long run, because passives and the rest of the framework will remain largely useless, with obsolete, non-competitive skills. Seriously, when was the last time you saw a DK use Cauterize?

The theme of the game according to the devs has always been "play the way you like". Well, DK healers for example haven't been a thing in quite a while.
