Too much mag dk fun to keep secret

One of the things I enjoy most in this game is creating off meta builds and testing them, recently I created this mag dk build for bg's and honestly it's too much fun to keep secret, hope you enjoy the build

Race: Argonian
Mundus: Atronach
Food: Tristat
5 x heavy doylemish across the body
3 x knightslayer on jewellry
-2 spell damage
-1 mag recovery
2 x knightslayer maces
- 1 infused flame damage
- 1 sharpened absorb mag
Ideally decisive blackrose resto on back bar but rng hasn't blessed me yet so decisive knightslayer works fine again absorb mag enchant
- Monster helm is zaans
You can go 5-1-1 but I prefer 5 heavy and 2 light for the sustain
Back bar
Volatile armour, igneous weapons healing ward, inner light, coagulating blood, panacea ult
Front bar
Flame lash, burning embers, fossilize, wings , draw essence and leap for ultimate

We go maces for the extra penetration as well as the sharpened trait for off hand to help doylemish hit nice and hard.
Basically you play like every other dk but utilising fossilize, with 1 hell of a burst, hit draw essence then fossilize lining up a heavy attack, followed by whip and then powerlash and that's it, highest I've hit is a 27 kill game on this build, proctard build I know but mag dk fun none the less
Hope you enjoy the build as much as I am

    That’s not “off meta”

    That’s just full blown proc sets.

    Aka it’s the meta for bad players.

    Sorry bud :(

    He's right with his comment tho.

    I don't yet see the point of Igneous Weapons and Inner Light on your back bar. Igneous seems like there are just better alternatives, but Inner Light seems to just waste the crit entirely?

    procs doesnt need nerfed at all.
    stop trying to destroy Snipe Procs
    stop trying to destroy our ranged potatoe playstyle every single day making request threads to destroy archer noob playstyle.
    nothing wrong with what we have, its been here since 5+ years.
    this is really childish and selfish.

    if anything, it needs a faster cast time to crit again and alot more damage added to it.

    Inner light is more of a flex spot and I use igneous to buff pre fight, think of it as an in your face gank build, most people when fossilized will just let you wind up a heavy attack thinking the damage will be minor when in actual your getting ready to drop a doylemish,infused flame,knightslayer, heavy attack, followed by 2 nasty whips, if your lucky enough zaan procs,

    I have a bg build with doylemish and sunderflame. I execute with spin. Mael snb back barred.

    La Heroic slash, bar swap, heavy Rend (restores 2k mag and stam bc of mael snb), heavy claw, la breath, fossilize, heavy spin.

    Major and minor fracture, great mag regen with mael snb. Molten weapons makes heavy attacks decent.

    Requires brutality savagery stam pots.

    Healer joins and I'll use slimecraw, otherwise i use troll king bc no vigor.

    I use medium bc of shuffle for snares and mitigation, but u could use heavy i guess.

    I only play this guy to get my daily activity finder though, so cheesy.

    While I’m not a big fan of oblivion damage personally, I’m glad you’re having fun on mDK. It’s such a powerful and versatile class, really rich in options for theory crafting and performance right now.

    Maces only give you physically pen, not spell pen.

    Swords are the only thing you should use when you dual weild on a mag character - none of the others make a difference.

    Being a full on proctard is hardly off meta though.

    Doylemish still works when they're just immobilized, and I certainly wouldn't roll out of that every time if I weren't expecting it.

    I haven't checked what's actually better here, I would guess it's swords anyway, but the penetration is for Doylemish.

    Exactly the penetration is for the doylemish, the only way to buff the damage is through penetration, I've had loads of success with this proc knight (I'm stealing that) even the elusive nb's can be hit with a leap followed by a heavy attack, theres just enough time to land the heavy, broke my record last night 31 kill game :)

    That's absolutely not true, though. Swords provide a global %-damage boost, and this applies to ALL your outgoing damage (procs, enchants, poisons, etc. in addition to abilities).

    The margin of increase is *very slightly* lower than maces, but because they also increase all your magicka-based damage, they'll net you greater overall damage by far (whereas maces only benefit your Doyle).

    Swords will net you more overall damage on low resist folks but In experience most people will run between 25-30k resists I would rather take the extra 5- 6k penetration.

    Rough maths as not at my Xbox, but I get a 15k tooltip on doylemish ... 6% would increase it by 900 ish on the proc itself a 20% penetration value from running 2 maces is anywhere from 5-6k penetration value,

    The sharpened trait applys after the mace debuff so already I'm at a 6.5k-7k pen value on doylemish, the heavy attack and the leap ( i take the shield morph of leap that comes with the physical damage due to the previous changes to shields) in the end i preferred the penetration over the 6% of everything, granted swords will give you higher damage output but the real damage(imo) comes from pen values, proctard build I know but thought went into it :)

    that's like 5k dmg or even less considering mitigation from CP, BS and what's left of armor. Not worth imho.

    Now, using an oblivion dmg glyph and switching from Knight slayer to Torug's makes it interesting, but you will be too much into meta.

    Now, if you want that build in good mode, switch to stamblade and use it after SA/Cripple while cloaked, but instead maces, use axes and Skoria

    I did but then I got a hump with the 30k plus healthplars and wardens so wanted to take them down a notch, they are very common Xbox eu servers the knightslayer outperformed torugs quiet considerably even on standard 22 to 23k health a guaranteed 2.2k oblivion damage out does the extra 1.5k additional flame
