StamDk question

lukoi · January 2020

As I level this char up using daily BGs etc, I'm not quite clear on the best self healing options between the 2H, vigor, and dragon blood.

Is there consensus on the best skill or combination of skills here?

Vigor with fragmented shield is best

MartiniDaniels · January 2020

Rally and vigor are the best. GDB can be useful for it's buffs on some builds (for example if you don't use volatile and you don't use tripots), but as healing it is very weak. Sure it can heal when you are below 25% HP and you are running out of stamina.. but at higher then 25% healing from GDB is not worth the cost. Fragmented into vigor+rally or double cast of cauterize for same price will heal way more.

This is my jam, and you can count the small shield from FS as essentially additional healing.

Thanks all, will take a look. Not sure why I didnt consider the synergy inherent to FS and vigor before. My unfamiliarity with the class and mechanics I guess.

Vigor is by far the best heal for StamDK in my view. Rally isn't that good anymore, Green Dragon Blood costs magicka and you need to be low health to get the most out of it while vigor draws from you stam pool and can be precasted. Fragmented shield is nice, but also expensive magicka wise. I for myself prefer to rather have Fossilize on my bar than FS - you can't really afford both on a StamDK, I think. If you're in heavy and have S&B on one of your bars, all you really need is vigor.

StamDK is bdcoming more an dm,ore like a main to me. I'm coming from a main MagPlar and I thought I'd miss some chunky healing.

Vigor + Rally with Fragmented Shield are more than enough. I tried GDB and found it ka an utter a waste of magicka

GDB is a waste of magicka, always was, always will be.(telling this for years now. Glad the ESO community finally caught up with me on it.)

FS+Vigor+cauterize is the way to go if you want most healing over time with least resources spent.

Stam dk healing is way too strong this patch. Every dk is stacking into full weapon damage - 6k weapon damage is stupidly easy to get at the moment with fury and new moon.

Add major mending

Add 12% healing received when you have volatile up

25k+ vigor tooltips are way too easy to achieve.

Nothing to be suprised about, they overbuffed healing so much after all , and stamDK always had good self-healing.

To be honest I preferred it the way it was before the dot-hot reworks, I already had 20k vigors and the AoE heals I gave my teammates made a lot of difference. Now I have even better self healing but the group healing aspect of the class is gone.
