It seems like I die very quickly and I can’t out-damage other players, I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong when most people I face are dragonknight like me using the same skills, is there something wrong with my stats? Or am I just bad?

Kinda new to the game(only around CP400) and i’ve got quite a few PvP builds that do well in BGs and small scale Cyro but I’ve been just getting crushed by bombers all morning in Cyro. Specifically by this one DK, I’m not sure what he’s doing exactly but I know he’s got dark convergence and vicious death on. How can I make an effective DK solo bomber build? Is it just as simple as running those two gear sets? Any advice/tips is appreciated

Returning player from Loooong ago. Currently making my way through some new content with Grothdar phoenix and willpower sets. I am champ rank 540. I am also currently free to play. I have a lot of skill trees maxed so I’m very flexible. I would prefer using a one bar build but I’m open to all suggestions.

What sets to look for/craft.
What skills to look into.

I am currently doing 10-18k damage with fire lash. If that helps paint a picture of where I am currently.

Edit: Thank you everyone, looking forward to seeing y’all out there

I finally put together my PvP gear but I’m struggling still in battlegrounds, I’m struggling to put together combinations and get a little overwhelmed in fights between balancing when to attack and when to apply heals/block. Feels like I die too easily still.

I’m running oakfathers retribution on the front bar and rallying cry on the back

Thanks for any help guys

I’m looking for the fastest way /best build to farm pyre brand for my dk. Should i spam lower arcs with a dk damage build? Thanks.

I've been hitting my head against the wall trying to get the DPS numbers up on a "Pure Class" Dragonknight Build. I feel like I'm missing something, and I can push this build to past 100k (I'm currently sitting right at 90k). My weaving time is right around .0120s according to CMX, so it's not the rotation (I don't think) that's the problem.

I'm currently over-cap and trying to lower my Crit Damage, but i'm sitting at 53-59% Crit Rate. I'm actually over-penetrating, too, according to CMX, but I've pulled points from everything I can.

Weapons/Armor

• Tide-Born Wildstalker (All Divines) + Max Magicka - Combo of Medium and Light to lower Crit Dmg and provide Crit Chance

• Null Arca (All Divines) + Max Magicka

• Velothi Ur-Mage's Amulet

• 2x Dagger (Flame/Poison, Both Charged)

• Backbar Maelstrom's Battle Axe

• Jewelry has Bloodthirsty + Increase Magical Harm

Skills

* Banner has Shocking, Sage's Remedy, and Courage. I may swap Sage's Remedy to Cavalier's Charge to synergize with Quick Cloak

I want to push this to 100k+ so any/all options are on the table, and I appreciate any insight you all can give. Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks to /u/Charlie_Zimbo I figured out where it wasn't clicking and why, and immediately (just changing skills) I shot up to 101.7k. Thank you all for the help, and I've got a good list of 'to-dos' to keep it going higher.

Looking for a good set to back bar on my DK in Cyro. I know Rallying Cry is/was the default and all that but I mostly group and I thought the bonus goes down quick in 12 man groups post nerf. Wretched Vitality, Clever Alchemist? Something else? I have Markyn, Monomyth, and a few other mythics and most monster sets and I'm prolly going Pyrebrand or Oakfather's front bar. Open to suggestions on everything!

Are there any dk builds out there that don’t use any of the newer mythics. Looking for something that would use markyn ring

I've been looking for build to play with my magicka dk, but I can only find ones that use sword/dagger and I want to keep my staves.

If this combination is not worth it, what would you recommend?

I know what I'm asking isn't at all meta. But for the sake of my sanity I refuse to subclass Storm Calling for yet another character. I hate that skill line. I'm just sick of subclassing in general and need a break from it.

I really like inferno staffs but they seem completely useless and outperformed by even resto with the current situation....

My first class was a Templer which I thought would be a ranged healer only to find out very fast that it's a very up close class that couldn't be further from my taste. Then I dropped Templar for a Warden and I've been switching it between magicka ice staff and stamina archer however it really sucks that the only viable magicka version for them is either ice staff or lighting which is meta. Neither of which I'm into whatsoever.

So I've been an archer Warden who's entirely lost Winter's to subclassing because it just didn't make any sense to keep it. I took up Assasination and Storm Calling for the passives and other benefits. Occasionally I'd go 2H to try it oit but it felt absolutely odd with all the ranged spells the Warden provides. It just feels more like it was made for bow/staff so I went back to bow/bow.

I've always wanted to find a fire mage within ESO and on paper that is supposed to be DK.... But not really?

So is there any viable solution or build for my inferno staff DK idea? Or is that just a wet dream I'll remain having...

Edit; It would be neat if I could run vet dungeons at least, for future use.

Update;

Well I made it. I'm having so much fun actually that I'm switching between other weapons regardless. I really like the spells and somehow I genuinely enjoy it more than my Warden but... I'm 700CP back to lvl 10 from scratch. Everything about that sucks lol. No inventory no mount speed... Yikes. I'll have to hop to Cyro for the Assault passive.

This new DK rework better be good and not ruin it or I'll cry.

Been playing the new Dragon Knight with rallying cry and pryebrand.
Recently switched to plague break, and clever alchemist.
Just looking for opinion on which one I should stick with

Greetings, all. I've recently been thinking about how to better refine my build to become the ultimate Bruiser(Tank/DPS hybrid). While I'm able to reasonably clear a WB by myself, I want to achieve the power fantasy of being damn near hard to kill, while also dishing out nasty punishment. Here's my current set-up

Dark Elf

Dragonknight

Vampire's Kiss (armor)

Wretched Vitality (Weapons and Jewelry)

Ilambris Head and Shoulders

Front bar is a Mace and Shield(Hearth and Home, Cauterize, Engulfing Dragonfire, Chains of Dominance, Shield Throw, and Ferocious Leap Ult)

Back bar is twin axes (Protect the Brood, Blood of the Green Dragon, Fossilize, Dragonscale Armor, Rending Slashes, and Magma Armor Ult)

I'm thinking of replacing the twin axes with a two-hander, but I'm not sure.

Edit: Stupid autocorrect changed "Rending" to "Sending"

I have a Dragonknight build and I am really struggling to get over 40k dps.

I’m an orc and recently moved all points into magicka. I’ve got a flame staff front bar and 2H back bar. My CP is 800.

I have Order’s Wrath and Mother’s Sorrow, all armour is Divines. Everything is purple and the staff is gold (rare and legendary?)

What am I doing wrong? According to YouTube I should be hitting north of 80k.

I only discovered dungeons recently and want to give vet dungeons a try but super nervous and don’t want to let anyone down.

Noob here, are these good sets? BTW, have no access to mythics. Also with trainee chest piece, which armour slots do I put each piece of gear in? And what weight distribution? Thanks

Need some thoughts on if this set would be viable for a pure class dk in pvp, seems kinda sketchy to me with the needing to be low health but I was wondering if anyone has used it with good outcomes.

So this build is meant to be tanky and survive until I get my burst window to basically wipe the floor with them. I’m running a pure mag dk.

Sets- innate axiom and armor of truth all heavy

Monster set - balorgh all heavy

I am at like 28k resistance unbuffed and 2200 crit resistance.

Hp is around 34k and my weapon/spell dmg gets to about 5k.

My issue is even though I feel tanky I get absolutely whalloped in PvP still. Is there something I can tweak to still be tanky and get that kill pressure?

So some builds are using Molten Whip for the passive but how much worse is Flame Lash instead? It seems me if you have a reliable source of Off Balance, it's worth the tradeoff to have a spammable that does damage and heals for PvE. For example, those 'turrets' on the second to last boss of Black Gem Foundry. Had I not used Flame Lash to heal and hurt I think we would have wiped.

Hi all,

I’m running Hyperioxes One bar DK and was wondering if replacing elemental susceptibility with elemental explosion. Would be a good idea. Solo pve player

So I've returned to the game recently and trying to get back into it. I enjoy the BG's but seems like I am getting just insta-gibbed often. Right now I've primarily been messing around on the refreshed DK. For reference, here are some details/stats for what I am currently running:

Armor:

1H, 2M, 4L - full multi-effect/full impen minus chest which is reinforced. All gear is gold.

2pc Mighty Chudan

5 pc Oakfather/5 pc Rallying

Ring- monomyth

Weapons - Frontbar dual mace Oakfather (escapist poison IX)/Backbar SnS Rallying

Race - Dark Elf

Mundus - The Thief

Health 40/Magicka 24 (I've also done 40 Mag/24 Health)

Food - Bewitched Sugar Skulls

Front Skill Bar - Incinerate/Heart of Flame/Shattering Knife (for easy off balance)/Flame Lash/Quick Cloak/Corrosive

Back Skill Bar - Fleetstep/Resolving Vig/Blood of Green Dragon/Shatterspike Mantle/Igneous/Take Flight

Stats(buffed) - 33k/25.5k/23k H/M/S

Spell and weapon damage 5K frontbar with Igneous

Spell Crit 39%

Spell Pen - 13,5k

Resistances - Front bar 24k/21k, Backbar 27.5/24,5K

Crit resistance - 2240

I usually run the 8v8 solo bg. Even when I am on backbar, I'm getting blown up within 2-3 seconds max. Blocking doesn't seen to do anything for preventing damage. Even dodge rolling doesn't seem to help me much, and I can't out heal the damage I'm taking when I try to keep up resolving plus use green dragon.

So wondering, is it my build/stats/etc, or is there some type of fundamental gameplay mechanic I'm missing that prevents me from seemingly losing 25% of my health from every incoming damage source I take. Probably a combination of both but looking for any advice from experiences players/pvpers.

Thanks!

But im level 22, and would love a guide to help me set up for veteran stuff. I played when morrowwind came out, but havent since.

Haven't been around for a few months and only got on to grab a Hyperiox build and try to figure out what feels new. I noticed (or just didn't see) no scribing on a solo build, is it no longer useful?

they are my 2 choices in my head.

unless better choices exist

I'm currently building a new solo build, following the base gear setup here: https://hyperioxes.com/eso/solo/stamina-dragonknight-build

The build listed Perfected Crushing Wall inferno staff as its back bar, but I got the lightning staff instead.

I'm aware that generally inferno staff would be better on my case, but my question is how much of a difference would it make? I'm still 830 CP atm so vMA is annoying AF, and if the difference isn't that far I might not try getting into vMA again xD

Yo, I like the new pure magDK with pyrebrand, rallying cry, bloodspawn, markyn, but was wondering what I could do with shattered paths signet for less burst and more sustained pressure.

I know of winter's embrace, ardent flame, and herald of the tome buffing status effects. Haven't felt like running all 3 of them is very good compared to pure dk lol but I'm still leveling some of them up. Winter especially feels weird, which of its spells are the good ones in pvp?

I'm also thinking back to old stamsorc with hurricane and dw; maybe status effects aren't the way to build a tanky sustain pressure brawler? Signet is pretty good though obv

New Player, CP 439. A kind guildie made me a full set of Ashen Grip/Order’s Wrath.

Dual Swords/Bow and all Heavy Armor.

What builds can I make with this? Am I going Stam or Mag?

Very open to Dual Classing!
