Where do StamDKs stand in PvP right now and what would be the most ideal race to choose?

Nyladreas · July 2019

I used to main a DK a year and a couple months back, haven't touched the class since transfer to EU.

Now I kind of miss the class and I've been wondering whether I should start rerolling it here on EU, but I'm kind of unmotivated to do it lately due to lack of knowledge of the updated class...

How good is it right now and how good does it look on the latest PTS update? Would a Khajiit work? Would a nord be way better? Perhaps orc? Can somebody give me options? I'd love to make a khajiit here on EU as well, so If that's a possibility i'll be happy

if not, I might end up just making a NB and stick to another race.

Any advices and directions would be appreciated!

I’m still loving Nord Stam DK. But nothing stops you from testing a Khajiit! Good luck deciding

Khajiit will work just fine. PvPwise no race is a clear winner. Just depends on its build path. There are certain unique build paths Khajiit can do with their Crit synergy that no other race can do.

Also if you dont want to build for crit, no problem. Just use 25 less CP in Precise Strikes compared to other races(equivalent to 10% crit dmg). Use this 25 CP to optimize damage in other ways(For eg 25 Cp = 2700 pen which is roughly equal to the Orc 254 weapon damage).

So you can actually run a good effective crit build with a khajiit on a DK?

that would be PERFECT.

Best way to use a Khajiit imo, is to take Khajiit for the Tristat bonuses and regen. Crit dmg+heals is the just icing on the cake

I don't think i've ever built for crit on a sDK. I might have to try that out.
