Seriously tho, for small scale pvp, solo pvp, any pve (besides tank).
As a lifetime stam DK coming back from over a year ago this class now seems out done by every other

Nothing, nothing, mediocre dps
Don't waste your time with stamdk at this point.
There is nothing you can do better than others but there's much they can.3 -

You can still play it but you have to know that in any situation you can imagine almost any class is better suited for this situation0 -

It's only powerful at DoT as far as PvP goes. Classes like stamblade and magsorc feel very unique because they have a massive amount of big hitting, spammable class ablilities that synergize really well and make them very different from other classes.
StamDK and Stamsorc got left behind in unique offensive capabilities, other than DoT builds maybe. Flurry is kinda boring and meh as a spammable. Dizzying swing is too slow. Imbune works, but it's not reliable enough against dodge roll/cloak spamming. It feels like you're just running around, casting imbune, and getting nothing from it but wasting your time.

✭✭✭✭It's not the strongest combo in PvP anymore, but Dizzing Swing into Leap is still the most satisfying play in the game. If I were to play StamDK again, it would honestly just be for the primal joy of that combo.Thrice Empress, Forever Scrub2 -

And it's useless against any decent player atm.
You can't kill a decent sorc with that combo at this time, stamdk can't just go full nuts and put everything into damage those times are gone since morrowind and helping hand, adrenaline rush and battle roar scaling removals.
Hitting a stamnb with a Dizzying Swing means either the nb is afk or you heavily outplayed that dude yet it won't be enough to kill the nb and you can bet that your leap will miss, be dodged, cloaked, outrun or streaked than you can actually hit it.
If you want an burst ultimate on your stamdk in the current patch, use dawnbreaker and spare yourself the pain with leap, it's outclassed at this point.
DB gives you a bit less burst damage and has a slightly higher cost but it gives you:
More resources via battle spirit, more weapon damage rather than 5% health regen (like who cares about 5% health regen), actually more burst vs vamps, the option to kill a nb with low health that is cloaking and an ultimate that doesn't miss more often than not and that doesn't feat a obnoxious travel time that works as an invite for good players to counter it.
Also a good player will just walk through you everytime you try to hit him with dizzying or he'll just block it.
The thing that comes close to a burst combo is this:
La + FoO proc + dizzying swing into a LA+ leap with the last venemous claw tick.
Here comes the bad news, FoO only hits every 5 seconds and doesn't do much damage on an other player unless you play a magdk, as mentioned dizzying is unreliable and the damage on a typical stamdk will be around the same a nb will have with Suprise attack, even the last venemous claw dot hit deals less damage than a passively procced bleed by 2h or DW.
And if we want to make good use of non class damage then why bother with stamdk at all that doesn't bring much to the table to begin with?
In the end it just comes down to:
You can use it on a stamdk but why would you, it will perform better on any other class.4 -
