So.. death knight build?
Been messing around toying with the editors and came up with this.
By default nightblade has the biggest potential for damage in the game... why is that? because they both got the reapers mark AND the power drain ability wich increase the damage done by them like crazies... If we give these Tools to a heavy armor stamina user with a 2h sword what do you think happens? Yes you figured right we birth some form of damage abomination capable of scoring crazy high strikes all while sustaining itself and overtanking hits! Growing more powerfull for every target in the viscinity. Those are the base principe for a death knight!

Relying on heavy armor a trusty 2h weapon weapon and devastating strike this build focus on powering up your character trought 20 seconds buff using your magicka while devastating your foe using your stamina. Id recommand hybrid stamina/magicka in case you wanna run Impale as a damage nuke but thats relative of choice the whole principe of it is still to deal as much damage as possible so pure stamina / health still work.

Honestly since you're not tanking, the 7 piece heavy armor is SEVERELY wasted on this build. I get why you're doing it (It's a knight, shadow knight, yadda yadda) But you would increase dps, stam regen, and magicka regen (which in turn, increases dps) By going 5 piece medium, 2 piece light, ditching the heavy armor. Also you should probably dump all your stat points into health. From what people said on PTR and what I've seen simply through leveling my characters, the softcaps for stam and magicka are really easy to hit with food buffs and gear enchantments anyway. You could even go 5 piece medium 2 piece heavy if defense is really a concern, but where you're going to get killed isn't really by physical damage, it's fire damage from being a vamp, especially in PVP where most siege weaponry is fire-based. Other than that though fun build, but like I said, the heavy armor doesn't bring enough to the table for a dps build IMO. Definately not 7 piece anyway, you'll be wasting defense with overcharging it.1 -
I dont recall fire damage to be a problem when you have decent fire resistance Equipment. A good vampire will always gear up more fire resist to cope with that 50%. Behing a clothie nightblade i barely even feel my fire resist weakness. Sure it hurt but not anymore then for a regular player in leather armor as i overtank most of that.
Since plate has both physical AND elemental resistance where leather provides nothing it is more fit for this build on the survival lvl... whats more plate increase physical damage so why not?Edited by Kyubi_3002b16_ESO on April 8, 2014 12:35PMOne bow to darken the sun

Navhkrin✭✭✭I dont think you know what death knight is, death knight doesnt become stronger when there are more enemies0

Death knight are masters of the use of death and shadow magic trought. Siphoning the essance of their foe and canalising it into their own fury is just one of their many power. If having undead minions was possible id gladly pick that up maybe with a necromancer world skill list but thats not for today.
To resume a death knight
1. Mastery of unholy rituals and magic
2. Curse his ennemies using various effect including taping into his opponent strenghts
3. Excellent user of martial weaponry and heavy armor in general
4. May have minions
Having played a blackguard in D&D a death knight in everquest and a Death knight in world of warcraft i think i can figure prety much what kind of skill setting a death knight use.

Death knights are created from breaking bounds between your body and soul with unholy magic. A death knight can become warrior , mage , Necromancer or anything he wants. Looking in eso , everyone is in death knight situation , as everyone has access to soul magic.Kyubi_3002b16_ESO wrote: »Death knight are masters of the use of death and shadow magic trought.

In gameplay perspective , it isnt possible to make death knight unless we can mix dk and nb.
But as for minion , you can use dark shade spell , thats very similiar to ghoul as a temporary summon

How is it impossible to make a death knight without DK? I see it working just fine with NB alone.0 -

I play a death knight set up in game right now. Lvl 25 nightblade 7 heavy armor, dual wield, mages guild, vampire.
Strife, blood craze (twin slashes morph), essence drain, refreshing path, leeching strikes (siphon strike morph to regen health)
Ultimate: veil of blades
All atributes magicka all heavy armor with plus health enchants. Jewelry reduce magicka cost plus magicka.
Each attack no matter what i do heals me even my white damage and regardless of no regen from armor i never have resource issue because of leeching strikes. I can solo anything lol0
