Stam DK PVE

pink_panther · October 2020

I really like the class but sustain and the passives are so bad. I can't even use the helping hands passive because why would you slot a shield or molten weapons?

You can get the molten buffs from potions... I am only losing dmg If I slot it....

Also I hate that you can't swap cancel the stomp of stone giant. It makes my rotation feel clunky 😞.

Please ZoS I really would like some class improvements. I don't need tons of dmg but at least a good feeling when doing my rotation.

and yea, agree with the passives bit...could use a look.

Please don't link xynode builds in my opinion they are off meta troll builds that may work well on consoles...

You have to use stonefist to buff your group cause of the passives unless u got a dk tank in group doing that for you.

Also why the fu would you slot 2 spamables..

Lmao. I would be surprised if this build can even get 70k dps. Most likely 50-60k.

Stam dk unfortunately has no business being in endgame content atm.

My 2h redguard build breaks 70k easy with stone giant. I even compared it to using wrecking blow and it still out performed because of the residual dot buffs with 100% stagger up time....but I will 100% admit it took tons of practice to get there.

I believe content clear is OK , not everyone in end game guild

I've sadly side barred my StamDK. Other classes are in a better place right now, and are more entertaining to play.

I'm very close to doing the same, and it was my OG character

You need to use molten for passives

Same. He is the one I do all the story with, and has the most achievements. One day though, as the sands shift, StamDK will have their day again.

I'm really confused as to why that absolutely horrible build gets praised by anyone at all. Oh look he slapped two random proc sets that have no synergy whatsoever! How creative! I thought Alcast's Bow/bow poison Dk build was far more interesting and had more class identity than what ZOS themselves had in their minds for stamDk (Poison DK > poopfist, you can't change my mind).

If Range doesn't do it for you, you could always go for a dot focused build,a heavy attack focused build or even make a build around master 2h and just have some fun trashing mobs left and right. There are many builds you can do that can clear content and have a unique theme going for it. Dk has tons of identity and build paths, Its just that devs keep cutting those off one by one with nerfs.

One build that has worked very well for me as far as damage and sustain, while keeping the stamdk theme is the combination of venomous smite and poisonous serpent. The venomous set provides extra ticks of damage and applys poison status often, granting very good stamina through combustion passive. The poisonous serpent set synerizes by adding at least 5-6k to light/heavy attacks done to an enemy with a poison damage effect on them, which you should have 100% of the time with claws, breath, and venomous smite. I've got good use out of it in PvE, but I haven't tested it in PvP.

How high do you parse with it? If its below 80 k it's useless to me. I only play vet trials and also hms sometimes.

I actually have not parsed on the iron atro, ill have a look. I mainly use it when I solo 4 man content and vMA. I use AY, rele, or lokki in trails because all my guilds are meta [snip]
