Deadly Strike or Hunding's Rage in DK Stamina

Hello everyone!

I was testing sets for my DK Stamina and there are 2 that make me think.

Hunding's Rage is one of the most common used stamina dps, and it has very good damage, it is always a good choice.

And Deadly Strike does less damage and less critics, but the advantage of having 5 items seems very good to me in my DK, because I use many DOT attacks, like:
Venomous Claw, Noxious Breath, Acid Spray and Barbed Trap.

So I don't know which of the two sets are better for me.

Thank you! :)

    NMA outclasses Hunding's and the 5% increased cost is pretty easy to deal with.

    Deadly Strikes is a great set.

    Swamp Raider is another one that pairs really well with StamDK.

    Deadly strike is used on stamDK if flurry is your spammable. In endgame people wants you to provide stagger with your stone giant spammable. In that case there are better sets.
    With vMA DW, deadly strike and relequen stamDK can hit VERY HARD

    Hundings rage isn't really worth it these days, doesn't provide enough stats.
    Even after the nef new moon acolyte is much better.
    Deadly definetly better, don't forget hundings comes with 1 max Stam bonus which is kind of a waste.
    Deadly provides almost as much weapon damage as hundings, so the 5pc bonus on it(hund), isn't really worth it.
    Would be good to know what type of content we are talking about, pve/pvp etc.

    I don't agree. Dk hits like a wet noodle compared to other stam classes. Next patch DK will be the bottom stam dps by far and has worst sustain.

    There are 95k parses with vMA DW, deadly and relequen on stamDK. But groups prefer a stamDK which uses stone giant for the groups DPS. So stamDK can hit very hard if its egoistic and a tank/offtank/other stamDD take care of the stagger mechanic

    when i tested between AY and deadly on stamplar, they were almost dead even with each other. this is with the current buffed version of AY.

    deadly is a great set in general. if what youre playing has a bunch of dots to benefit from its 5 set, you cant go wrong with it. one of the best sets you can run. going to way outclass hundings

    95k may sound hardcore but did you know that they added 2 new buffs to 21 mil dummy which increased the dps about 15%. Also look around, every other stam class can hit over 100k, esp stamden, stamcro, stamplar 120k+ even. So yeah, DK is a noodle.

    maybe try dpsing on a class whose passives arent all about tanking?
