New mag dk

I've watches alot of mag dk vids etc and noticed not many use fragmented shield, is there a good reason for this as for me 6 seconds of major mending is pretty nice

    It sure is a strong buff, but the shield it self is weak af. I personaly just dont have space for it on my bar. I rather have the wings since rapid regen is already strong enough without major mending.
    If you think it fits your build just try it out and see how it works.

    Waste of bar space just for major mending.

    I can also just heavy attack with a resto staff and get mag back + damage + healing + major mending. Why would I waste the bar space or spend the magicka?

    I'm playing inferno/ice staff and getting heals from embers, flame lash, cauterize, coag.

    Why mag DKS hate "Obsidian Shard"? On average it heals almost the same as "Coagulating Blood", it heals allies as well, it cost less, does some damage(which could proc burning for extra magicka return), it restores stamina and generate ulti. Not a single PvP magDK is using this skill, what is the reason?

    I play my MagDK like this too. Use the new Bewitched Sugar Skulls and you'll even have 1k+ Health Recovery. Shouldn't need Major Mending.

    It should be reverted to its original state where it was a medium sized shield that dealt out decent damage when it wore off.
    - The Psijic Order
    - TKO
    - Dominant Dominion

    I agree, loved uncloaking those NBs with it :D

    On mag you have access to more healing skills than stam. So its more efficient for example to slot rapid regen in stead of fragmented. The extra healing you get from rapid regen is more than the increase your other heals would get from getting the major mending. It als synergizes best with a lot of heal ticks in short order, which won't happen that often with magdk's class heals which are more burst oriented. You'll be better of casting another coag in stead of going framented into coag. That's common sense. In short: its a waste of bar space.

    Because its trash tier. Expensive, requires a target which is both clunky and highly unreliable as it can be dodged, and coag is simply better in every way.

    Hmm I actually didn't think about the dodge part, probably should be undodgable for this kind of a magicka cost.

    Becuase they want to throw fire, not mud balls.
    Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.
