Yep, eSporks, Mono, and myself all got warnings about a year ago as well for loving with an RP group. If anyone reports that kind of stuff, Zenimax moderation WILL go through guild chat logs to verify.

Hence why I'm asking in here rather than in guild chat.

I imagine if you're not doing anything but making emotes or such they will not ban you about it, after all you have a right to be places too, they can't hog an inn for their RPs. Unless there's proof, of course, which is chat logs.

Other than the IC dungeons, Blackheart is the hardest normal to duo, if that's any consolation. Used to really dread that dungeon.

100% this:

light armor magicka nb:

bar 1 single (desto): impale+funnel health+relentless focus+degeneration+inner light (u) shooting star
bar 2 aoe/block (1h/s): refreshing path+sap essence+crippling grasp/siphoning attacks/lotus fan+reaper's mark+inner light (u) soul harvest

The sword and board bar is if you want max toughness, otherwise you could go dual swords for more damage.

It fuckin' rules.

pluto build

Updated pluto build for y'all, she's pushing 25k single target now:

bar 1 single (desto): impale+funnel health+merciless resolve+structured entropy+inner light (u) shooting star
bar 2 aoe/block (1h/s): refreshing path+sap essence+crippling grasp/siphoning attacks/harness magicka/prox det+reaper's mark+inner light (u) soul harvest

If you are a big stamina baby and can't stop sap spamming in melee range, here's mine:

bar 1 single (desto): inner light+structured entropy+funnel+impale+reaper's mark (u) db of smiting
bar 2 aoe/block (1h/s): inner light+lotus fan+siphoning attacks+sap essence+refreshing path (u) soul harvest

Gap closer plus siphoning means you can leap from trash pack to trash pack holding block, spamming sap, and getting stamina back (a little). Your single target suffers (mine is 18k), which should be deeply shameful, but it's just too fun.

e: Pluto says, "If you're feeling squishy in a hard fight, slap on Harness Magicka." On the other hand, if you're not feeling squishy, you could try dual wield instead of 1h/s.

Oh groovy, just changing to merciless resolve and structured entropy morphs makes that much of a difference, eh?

Structured Entropy is only there for the health boost it seems, since it provides the same Major Sorcery buff as Degeneration. I use it on my Shield-plar to push 60k health.

so since i realized there were actual uses for the dungeon finder i've been doing that a lot, and boy howdy do people get really defensive when you point out they've queued for the wrong roles, and also super entitled about it, like i'm supposed to somehow pull a healer who doesn't heal (a dk who sometimes drops blood fount) and two braindead dps through content

Got this a few weeks ago. Enjoying it.

After about ten different characters, I think I've finally settled on an Argonian (swim speed increase, simply must be wildly overpowered) Dragon Knight. I want to end up with a durable brawler kind of guy. Any tips on taking it in that direction?

Level all of your class skill lines and armor skills while you're on your way to 50. You can make what you're looking for with any combination of any of them (to varying degrees of MAXDPS EFFICIENCY), and experimenting to find a build you like is half the fun.

There's some great tank and stamina dps options for dragonknights. I'll repost stamina dps here, which I updated for Dark Brotherhood:

At very low levels, stamina melee is the same for every class. Get a two hander, then level up the first two skills to the morph. Take critical rush and brawler: then you can zoom around hitting stuff with critical rush and finishing the job in safety (albeit somewhat slowly) behind brawler's damage shield. You should light attack weave brawler in longer fights (tap attack, wait about 1/4 second, then tap brawler) to save on resources.

This is what I do with my DK tank in dps mode, which is by no means optimal, but is nice and tough (see this post for details on how to use the skills in a similar build):

bar 1 single (2h): rally+evil hunter+wrecking blow+executioner+venomous claw (u) flawless dawnbreaker/standard of might
bar 2 aoe (2h): green dragon blood+critical rush+evil hunter+brawler+burning breath (u) aggressive war horn/take flight

I'll have you know my 2 Healer 2 DPS Volenfell went great yesterday. We actually did have a Tank at the beginning, but for some reason the LFG thing put 5 of us in the group. We were deciding what to do when the Healer(s) realized the tank was going to use a 2Hander, so they vote kicked him.

I was only able to login for a few minutes and only noticed that changed it to a beam that could be broken by distance. Didn't look like damages or percentages had changed? Or does the beam poo poo mean its limited to one target? Also, please wrecking crew help me farm a skoria hat, I really need it now.

They actually fixed what was causing it to bug out, nerfed the range, and increased the cooldown. The healing received buff is still the same though!
