So, now that it has officially dropped on all platforms, how is everyone finding MagDK...or too soon still? With all the hype prior to Summerset just curious as to if it has lived up to it and is MagDK a fair contender or is one better off running stam? Thoughts/experiences/ideas...share. ;)

Sorry, should have added...PVE only. Would have saved a lot of drama. Feel free to comment but I don't pvp but others might.

    MagDK is finally doing really well again. I can consistently break 48k on a dummy and in a raid environment you're looking at even higher numbers.
    I don't have perfected Siroria yet, so there is still room for improvement.
    Also lots of setups you can run.

    Doing good in PvE, only problem is Magblade is doing better, and the last two trials are heavily ranged biased.

    Silly Magblade gonna always be the top dog I reckon but as long as we are looked at that's a win. As for ranged, we have a few options although a dps loss I am sure.

    What set are you running? I have sustain issues on magDK but using BSW/Elf Bane Zaan simply due to the fact I don’t want to rely on a stationary fight set.

    PvP, yeah. PvE, nah.

    StamDK puts out pretty high melee damage, under stamblade but tied with a few others, with an easy rotation.

    “The only problem is another class does better” ???

    Huh???

    So its a problem that your class isnt the top dmg dealer?

    MagDk is extremely strong in PvP ( not that it has ever been as bad as people claimed... ). StamDk still has pretty much the same issues as before Summerset. Not the worst of the bunch, but very far from the top as well.

    In PvP Bloodthorn's Touch is a staple, even in heavy armour I don't have any resource issues at all on my Dk with that set. I'm not into competitive PvE though, so not sure how raids would rate it.

    I don't PvE so it doesn't affect me. But of course other classes doing better beyond a reasonable point is a problem, that wouldn't be balance.

    The meta is weighted around the top, so if you don't do as well, you comparatively are bad.

    Not to mention that Magblade is ranged, so even more worth while and can replace a melee spot

    For 48k you need Siroria. These parses are with 5x Siroria, 3x Willpower and perfected Asylum Staff and MSA Staff.
    For non stationary fights I use BSW instead of Siroria.
    You can still push to around 46k with that on the dummy, so not too much of a loss.
