What jewelry traits do you run on your MagDK
Valykc
✭✭✭✭✭
Currently i’m running 2 Infused rings with Spell Damage and 1 arcane necklace with mag recovery. I was thinking about testing Bloodthirsty since MagDK lacks an execute, was wondering if it was worth it (Does it work on PvP enemies?). I’m curious what others have found effective. Instead of posting a poll option for every jewelry trait combination, I’ll post options for 3 of the same trait(3), 2 of the same and one different(2-1), or 3 different traits(1-1-1), if you could comment with your traits and why you choose/prefer them that would be awesome.
Thanks!

✭✭✭Imo for well rounded builds, protective and triune bring the most value.Edited by CyrusArya on January 2, 2019 9:48AM1 -

@Savos_Saren I remember dueling you when One Tamriel released, you are a great MagDK. What build are you running in Murkmire (if you don’t mind sharing)?0 -

@Valykc
Thanks! Honestly- it depends on the role I’m playing in Cyrodiil. I have 15 characters (all classes, both stam and mag).
If you dueled me on my main (Savos Saren)- I am wearing:
2 Valkyn
5 Innate
5 Silks of the Sun
1h/1m/5l setup. SnB front bar and Inferno backbar.
This is my Jack of All Trades build, though. You have to be very, very careful running two damage sets (because of sustain).
The forums may tar and feather me- but I don’t run Fossilize. Instead- I use Talons on my SnB bar and Stone Giant on my backbar.
You can get up to 28k resistances in light armor with this setup.Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

@Savos_Saren Ah nice! I’m running Valkyn/Shackle/Bright-Throat w/ SnB/Ice Staff. Still trying to fine tune it but I don’t think I’ll have enough damage to kill so I was thinking of dropping a set for some form of damage set. I was also thinking of trying stone giant out since fossilize is buggy and the extra resists will help nicely in light armor. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive compared to fossilize. Thanks for the reply though!0 -

✭✭✭✭✭3 (Three of the same traits)I accidentally clicked 3 of the same. But really I am running 2 protective and 1 spell damage. The Shackle/Innate/Skoria set combo is very strong on a DK. And i am having a ton of success with dual sword front bar and ice staff back.1 -

Yeah innate seems to pair well with DK since you use so many class skills! I think I’ll have to craft myself a set haha0 -

Yeah, I was running Sun for a while, but Innate pairs better with DK healing skills. On my current build, the only skill it doesn't pair with is the Frost blockade on my backbar. But that is mostly for the root and status effects than it is for damage.1 -

Yeah I tried Sun as well but dropped it for the same reason0 -
BlackMadara✭✭✭✭2-1 (Two of the same, one different)I run 1 triune and 2 arcane.
Just some info about infused SD and bloodthirsty.
Infused SD does not give much more damage than just having arcane, especially in a CP environment. I do not think that it is worth it when you can have almost the same amount of damage and healing AND have more resources compared to arcane. Infused trait is good for recovery glyphs and for medium armor WD glyphs.
Bloodthirsty seems nice but does not help a DK much unless fighting a high hp target. I did some calculations a while a go and found that running arcane vs bloodthirsty, there was only a significant bump in kill time for high hp, heavy armor targets. For just about anyone running medium or light, your time to kill decreases due to the damage you lose until the target is down to the execute threshold.

Awesome info here! That makes sense though, never thought about it much before. Stinks that I wasted transmute stones on them then haha. Thanks for the tip!0
