Yes. DK is pretty much built to be a fire magic caster if you want it to be.

I use this add-on for alchemy and you basically can select potion strength and qualities and it will pull up a list of everything you can make. Just select it from the list and it will automatically slot the needed reagents.

Alchemy is also ridiculously easy to level up. I spent about 10,000 gold yesterday afternoon shopping for all the needed mats and then just went from level 5 to level 40 in less than an hour.

Oh wow awesome, I'm going to test that addon out today. I also switched from FTC to CombatCloud and I totally agree with earlier statements, its far superior!

If I had 10,000 gold I would probably be buying more bag upgrades then maxing out Alchemy I think!

I'll Nth the sentiment that Combat Cloud + ggFrames are the two MUST HAVE addons for Teso. It's kind of funny how much nicer looking Unit Frames + Scrolling Combat text can change the feel of a game. Getting proper feedback from your actions in game is really important

What level were you and what were the issues?
I'm only level 20, but things in PVE just melt. In PvP it also feels really good. The top bar is some good DPS and the drain over time helps keep you alive. The bottom bar is perfect as an oh poo poo bar and I even took out a group 1v3.

I was around 20, too squishy and I couldn't kite. I don't think I kept burning embers on my bar because it wasn't effective so I tried to knock things out of melee range with destructive reach and would just go oom and get hosed over. Obsidian shard was even more expensive and also a slow moving projectile, I'm not sure what that ability is good for really. I used dual wield on my second bar (should've used sword and shield) and again didn't seem to get effective survivability out of the twin slashes self heal morph. I ended up just giving up and rolling a new character

In update 6 they've actually significantly improved survivability on dual wield and the effectiveness of destructive reach (it's got the same really long range as force shock, mage's fury etc. now and I'm using it as my main spammable-ish DPS on my PVPing sorcerer) so if I hadn't deleted him he might well be a lot more powerful now.

I'm not really sure about the changes, but its seems fun now, and I don't have those issues really. I will say that PVE is a lot easier with a frost staff though. Destructive reach just perma roots everything. Though even with a fire staff, I don't have issues with single targets, and on groups the burning talons takes care of everything.
Getting dragon skin is pretty huge too. Its an insane heal and really strong o-poo poo button. If anything gets rough I just swap to the 1h+shield bar and spam that while holding block. Can't wait until I get the AOE drain, deep breath, too.

Once you get inhale ability as a DK that is pretty much it in regards to being able to do any solo pve content. After that you pretty much can take anything around 3-5 mobs at a time.

Both guilds are getting more active nowadays although the Ebonheart one still has Scyantific, the guildmaster, is actually still playing the game unlike the Daggerfall's.
You can be in both anyways, if you want to.

Its not enough to set you back, but as a VR 5 if I'm around I'm always willing to help carry people through dungeons. I've helped a few goons through past couple of weeks but ask on weekends and likely someone will be around.

Same here. Considering how easy it is to swap roles around I can tank for you guys while you do all the damage. Just ask in chat.

As long as you're active, I can see if I can get you into my current trade guild. We've got a guild vendor in Mournhold (which is a prime spot). Also we do raffles or some poo poo to get funds for the vendor and to hand out as prizes.

Yeah it's just Really Good. Did you install GGframes as well? They're pretty nice. The only thing I can't really figure out is how to configure my buff bar under my frame. Anyone know?

2h / DW DK Stam is pretty strong in PvP, but better in a small group.

Stampede / Crit Rush, Wrecking Blow, Evil Hunter, Rally, Burning Breath, Flawless Dawnbreaker (U)

Steel Tornado, Vigor, Evil Hunter, Razor Caltrops, Green Dragon Blood, Shifting Standard (U)



Armour sets are a big deal now. The ideal sets for this is very expensive, but can be substituted.

7/7 Medium

4pc Morag Tong, 3pc Shadow Walker, 3pc Way of Air, DW - Hundings Rage, 2h - Masters

The Way of Air is fairly cheap, shadow walker is jewelry and pretty much the only necessary bit. Morag Tong 4pc can be substituted for either Sentry or Ashen Grip. In VR PvP you want to hit around 25k HP, and then the rest of the points into your stam.

Meteor is a better ult than Soul Assault atm. Use a healing ward instead of Combat Prayer, the shield from healing allows you to 1vX. You also want hardened ward on both bars, I'd switch Impulse and probably Mutagen for it. Hardened Ward is amazing and scales off your magicka. It's your primary way to stay alive, and can be cast multiple times. I put 62 points into Magicka, because it's that good.
