Poison whip will never happen, and it probably shouldnt since even though molten whip is only used in very few builds in pvp.
I'm all for changing empowering chains into some poison chain spammable. And returning stone fist to a healing skill or a class stun. Nobody is ever going to use stone fist in its current state unless they want to gimp themselves.
If we dont see a class spammable on stamina DK, the dots should be reworked into something that gives a bit more utility since they are easily purged by DLC classes and templar.

Outside of that, a altering the another ardent flame ability such as empowering chains to something akin to poison chains. Depending on how it is implemented it could be solid, but it could also have its drawbacks in PvE, that may not be an issue in PvP.
There's a lot of potential with stone giant. In its current state, it's obviously not great. But it could be turned into a single target, instant melee attack with similar benefits to the current version (stagger). Alternatively it could be a burst option similar to Shalks/Blastbones, where you stomp the ground and a second later a huge earth spike erupts in front of you, dealing significant damage. It could set them off balance, or "stagger" them similar to getting bashed while channelling/resurrecting.

Now I am 100% theory crafting here, but if the stamDk gets a better spammable, another ability, that undoubtedly cost magikca, will have to change. Someone, somewhere will be lose something, meta or not, so I picked the ability I've seen used the least. In empowering chains case, I have never used it, never seen someone use it, nor have I seen it in any build in all of the 6 years I've played this game.
Now I can't predict what the new hypothetical ability would do but, let's imagine it remains the teleport/pull that it is now, but instead just cost stam and does poison damage. Let's also assume that stonegiant returns to being a magic stun:
1. The ability would get a 33% cost reduction because of the world in ruin passives.
2. MagDK would get access to the poison status effect in their kit. Which would, not only add an extra dot and 1 more thing to cleanse, but would also proc the combustion passive, meaning it will do 50% more damage and return 500 stamina.
3. MagDK is both the slowest, and worst sustaining build in eso. A pull that doesn't cost your primary resources, should cut down the burden of sustain. In this scenario, MagDK would also get the range stun back with stonegiant, which would also make it harder to run from the DK. You would be able to stun and chain yourself to the target. You could alternatively, chain and fossilize.
4. If the ability were to be brought up to spammable standard, it would at least hit harder, then I does now, regardless of whether regardless of you being mag. ZoS would likely cut its cost further due to it being a spammable.
5. If in, this hypothetical, the stagger debuff was also moved to chains, the MagDk and all of their alies, would do extra damage to the chained target for 5 seconds.

With the trend to make stam more functional atnrange to compete with mag, I don't think the stomp is the way to go.
Just remove the cast time and stomp from the ability therefore double now build will be more viable.

This thread isn't about PvE and the issues with Poop Fist in PvP have been explained so often that I can't be bothered to do so.
The skill doesn't work and there is no reason why Stamdk should be pushed into a niche that it can never compete in and the only reason it's pushed into this niche is the lack of an instant meele spammable.
Please don't translate your experience from casual gameplay to PvP as it's not helping the discussion at all.

This thread doesn't explicitly state PvP or PvE only, nor is it in the PvP forum. As the game is still going to be a blend of both playstyles, both playstyles need to be considered when looking at the issues the DK is facing.

A change towards a instant meele spammable would affect PvE very slightly, while the effects on PvP are huge and this is why the topic is more PvP related than PvE.

The reasons as to why Poop Fist is trash have been repeated over and over again, there is no point repeating them because everyone who has ever used the ability in PvP knows that it is trash.
You're baiting by saying the ability is good and people don't know how to use it, please refrain from doing so.

You are telling people they dont know how to play. But I think its been proven enough that there legit isnt a place for stonefist in pvp. Also I dont have to add anything because most of it has already been said thusfar and I agree with their ideas and perspective. I dont think that your experience in overland zone with stonefist and their achievements add anything constructive to this discussion either, so lets leave it at that.
I'd ask that you leave discussion because I dont want to open a #3 thread.
Thanks.
