1vX Stam DK PvP Theory Build Dragonhold

Appo · October 2019

Would like any ideas or suggestions for my theory build for upcoming dragonhold.

Im basing on the fact/hope that dots on a dk and deadlys recent buff to 20% dmg leaves us in a strong postion as far as dots are concerned.

My main source of defence will be coming from HP recovery and manuverability/kiting!

Race: Wood elf for roll dodge speed and penetration.

So i was thinking... 5 deadly, 5 impreg (divines) 2 troll king, Masters bow back bar.

Food: Takeaway Broth, nice for the added HP recovery

Steed mundus- Speed and HP recovery

Defensive Back bar- Poison inject, vigor shuffle, green dragon blood (for 25%hp recovery), Hardend armor.

Offensive Front bar- Breath, Claw, Rock Smash, Dizzy, Rally.

1 infused stam rec and 2x weapon dmg enchants.

2H Maul nirn with 2x dot poisons

Infused master bow with berserker enchant.

Thinking whilst kiting on back bar the hp recovery should be crazy strong and will be really fast having the steed with wood elf and major expedition from bow.

Idea is to get in put dots on pull back with speed use rock smash to add pressure from distance, get the stun and increase the dot damage, hit them with a dizzy to proc off balance and then Dawnbreaker/Leap to finish.

Keeping up the speed and movement to frustrate enemy will be key to sucess.

Any ideas to add or anything iv missed would be great, of if you outright think it wont work, let me know, intrested to hear peoples thoughts.

any slightly tougher brawler than u will be able to face u, and if u plan on moving away then any player with a hot or two will deal with u. Also health recovery is maybe good in 1v1, i have a health recovery tank build and i can tell u that the burst from two people won't be survivable with health recovery. Seems to me ur target are potatoes in which case anything works. Or 1v1 situations where enemy doesn't have hots/purge.

Thank you for your breakdown, 1vX is 99% targeting potatoes if we are all being honest, no 2 good players of similar skill level will ever loose to a solo player, it just doesnt happen.

Are you reccomending then that i move away from the Dots and focus on raw burst damage?

In my head i just thought it would be nice to break them down and kill their resources with dots while they chase me, from my experience of cyro which addmitedly isnt a huge amout, these "zerglings"chase you like headless chickens and with some dot pressure and a quick burst can maybe keep them at bay? 🤷‍♂️

you need something to get out of being CC.a skill, pot, something

as is, i can shoot some defile and whittle down while building my Onslaught, then boom.

also, check out Wrecking Blow morph this next patch

I don't think divines will be worth it, better off using well fitted if you are running impreg.

Dots have been gutted next patch, I wouldn't rely on them for damage. Better off using one of the new craftable sets, Ancient Dragonguard would be my suggestion or Spriggans for an overland set, both of these will boost all of your damage rather than just dots.

Or if you want to continue on the health recovery route Seventh Legion would be good.

Another few things i've just been thinking of re-reading your post.

The buff you get from dragon blood would be much better applied by a tri-pot, and then you should replace Dragon Blood with Fragmented Shield, 5 seconds of Major mending is amazing as will help your healing massively.

I'd also either choose dizzy or the rock and run an execute, but thats more of a preference thing.

7th could deffinatley be a good shout, from what i have read DKs dots were still decent and combined with the new deadly 5th piece buff looked strong, all conjecture on my part from reading notes, not actually tested however.

I had considered well fitted but i just felt that divines would help with A. Manuverability and would ultimately keep me from having to use 1 swift trait on jewelry and B. Keeps the trend of stacking hp recovery. Where as well fitted is just going to allow me to roll dodge a little more 🤔 intresting approach though.

I think you are right, didnt think about the tri pots, good shout! Cauterize could be an option too, lovely burst heal now!

That dizzy swing spot was always in my mind as a possible swap out for executioner, i just need to see how hard stone smash hits for 1st 🤞

Any suggestions for a CC breakout? I usually just use old fashioned roll dodge/breakfree.

Forward Momentum or that Psijic Skill Race Against Time.

or Immovable pot.

You dont need dizzy next patch as it wont cc and you already have a spammable, green dragon blood is a weak heal, more used for the buffs, slot cauterize instead as an additional heal. Also you will be at about 19k resistances buffed up so you will be squishy, consider blood spawn or 1 chudan / 1 pirate skele or lord warden to buff ur res's.

Also you will have a lot more damage and mitigation if you just use a damage set and 7x impen rather than the impreg 7x divines that you have.

I feel like i need rally, race against time could be a good shout in place of dragon blood/fragmented shield.

Also if you are using 5x medium armor the steed or wood elf passive will get you 7% over the sprint speed cap, you could get more out of your build if you changed mundus or race. Personally I play nord.

Sprint speed not what im really going for, its speed whilst not sprinting (movement) that allows me to get my resources back whilst the potatoes chase me 😂
