To replace wings do we slot defense posture and immovable instead of spiked armor for resistance and snare immunity and defense posture to reflect

    Keep spiked armour

    You have Foward Momentum for snare immunity (Immovable doesn't help against snares), if you really want a reflect use the Sword and Shield Ult

    But to be honest, you're a Stam Dk, just face-tank everything with Fury and 7th Legion

    I mean, I just never used wings on my stam dk. Used the extra mag on more fragmented shields. I play in medium armor, so I can dodge roll any hard hitting projectiles like snipes.
    Race against time will be a popular pick I imagine. It'll grant immunity to snares and immobilizations, major force and major expedition. You'd have to be crazy to not have this on your bar

    But RAT is another costly magicka skill (well costly for a stam player at least, for me RAT is about 25% of my whole magicka pool). So now a stamina-based DK would absolutely have to slot: Frag Shield or Petrify, RAT and Spiked Armor. Igneous Weapons if one is not playing with 2H. Maybe Inferno.

    Almost a bar full of magicka skills, that surely don't happen with stamden or stamblade (don't know about stamsorc). And those skills are costly as hell!

    Seriously, Asking for stam DK or Sorc for that matter for buffs is apparently asking for too much from zos.

    Its not only stamdks wanting RAT on their bar, the same goes for pretty much all heavy stam specs and many magicka specs. Medium armor specs will be even less prevalent, since shuffle doesnt provide as much as RAT or forward momentum. I think stamdks can handle that magicka burden decently, since they have quite some magicka regen via their ultimates. Still there are stamdks, which used wings before (Leif Erickson played that kind of way some weeks ago), but they had to dip in a bit more for magicka sustain. I think one recovery glyph will fullfill that.

    swapping wings for RaT is a no brainer, and the magicka restore on being hit from heavy along with a 15k magicka bar on my DK (just from tri glyphs) was more then enough to let me get by using wings, igneous shield, and spiked armor without having to worry about magicka too much.

    I removed shield off my bar for a few BG matches to make room and found myself with ALOT of magicka constantly, so with RaT being more efficient then wings (lasts 4 sec compared to 2) and with the added benefit of expedition saving me a potion effect I will be FAR better off then I am now.

    thought pretty much EVERYONE is going to be running RaT without exceptions, snares and immobilizes are going to be completely ineffective in pvp, and everyone is going to be faster all the time.

    time to kill is going to change too, with everyone being faster and defile being removed from most sources and its CP nerfed, securing or killing other players is going to be a chore to impossible.

    i got those 4 mag on both bars, 2 on each. it's no problem. u hit spiked armor before jumping into a fight. hit RAT, then frag shield for the minor damage buff if u have magicka left. and petrify is situational so it's not every time.

    and yes, with ultimates giving back resources, it won't be as bad.

    Wouldn't be surprised at all if Necro would go unnerfed until official release. How else ZOS going to get more money? Not by giving sDK any identity that's for sure!
