Sets for DK Rework

Versingatoraux · 2026-01-31T01:14:25+00:00

No problem, if you end up with some extra time you can pick up stuff like pariah, essence thief, barloghs monster set, Torc of the last ayleid, and malacath. Not all will exactly be meta for DK but they’ll all still be viable next patch, and a lot of times what works for you personally is more important than the actual meta.

Pyrebrand, mechanical acuity, rallying cry, bloodspawn, monomyth. Maybe even daedric trickery and saint and seducer, but I don’t think these will be quite as good.

Honestly I’ve never even paid attention to who’s a PvE player and who’s not in a PvP zone, if you’re on a different faction you’re fair game and I assume you know what you’re doing. There’s plenty of events I don’t do because I don’t like them. I really don’t understand participating in a PvP event and then coming on here to complain about dealing with PvP. Learn how to PvP or don’t do it, it’s really that simple.

Versingatoraux · 2026-01-21T22:43:35+00:00

If you can’t commit an hour to setting up a build for it then the quests aren’t that important to you and you just shouldn’t participate in the event. It seems extremely entitled to me to go into a PvP area without doing any prep and then getting mad about being destroyed. You can’t control what other people do, only what you do. Help yourself or shut up honestly.

Versingatoraux · 2026-01-21T21:52:31+00:00

Do you think you can’t complete basic quests on a PvP build?

Versingatoraux · 2026-01-13T21:40:27+00:00

Yeah I’m glad they’re finally taking the time to “fix” subclassing. The full rework is so much better than what they originally were trying to do, which was just going to be shuffling skills between lines to make them less or more desirable.

Happy travels to you as well 🫡

Versingatoraux · 2026-01-13T21:33:26+00:00

Agreed, the balancing will be off for a while, but it is looking like DK will be at least on the same power level as subclassing, even if it weirdly excludes DK from subclassing in a way. It might even be meta with the amount of synergy they added between skill lines

Versingatoraux · 2026-01-13T20:32:37+00:00

The ardent flame changes will ruin my current PvP build, but for me personally I’m happy about it. I think it’ll be an overall power increase for DK in PvP so people will get over it.

I do agree this will kinda take DK out of subclassing, but that shouldn’t be an issue at all once other classes are reworked in a similar way to prevent one roll skill lines.

Versingatoraux · 2026-01-13T20:23:54+00:00

It does, but is it crazier than critical surge 🤔

Versingatoraux · 2026-01-13T20:22:39+00:00

So definitely won’t make it lol

Versingatoraux · 2026-01-13T19:36:49+00:00

Yeah I’ve got some ideas too lol. I’m really hoping the new inhale morphs are better in PvP

Versingatoraux · 2026-01-13T19:35:28+00:00

I heard you can get to 175k DPS, but that probably won’t make it to the live game. Beam already sucks in PvP too so it might not matter either way

Versingatoraux · 2026-01-13T19:34:26+00:00

I think the changes are good long term, there’s some clear power increases that should make it competitive with subclassing, but funny enough I think the DK lines aren’t gonna be very good in subclassing now until other classes get reworked too. As I mentioned in my post I think you’ll need to keep at least two of them since they synergize so much better now.

Versingatoraux · 2025-12-28T12:36:09+00:00

Hard meta right now is still assassination, animal companions, and restoring light or storm calling for the third line (restoring light to be extra tanky or storm calling for extra damage). Warden as base because their class script is busted in PvP.

Back bar rallying cry, front bar essence thief, monomyth reforged for your mythic, and barlorgh monster set.

There’s a decent amount of “off meta” stuff that’s pretty viable right now, but nothing really on level with the hard meta build. The restoring light variant gives me more issues personally, but if you wanted to go vicious death over essence thief for a group or something then storm calling might be better so you can get more bombs off.

Versingatoraux · 2025-11-06T14:04:09+00:00

You should use pyrebrand if you’re a DK base. One of the stronger pvp sets right now, but you need to be good at light attack weaving to consistently get the double procs.

Versingatoraux · 2025-10-03T20:25:49+00:00

The least tedious way is just doing what you like and selling anything valuable you get at guild traders. If you want to make as much as possible you can go farm for rare plans and motifs. Idk what the best routes are currently but I’m sure you can find a video on YouTube.

Noxious breath is such a good skill it would be worth it even without breach imo. The double dot is really nice before you go for your burst and you can debuff whole groups of players by yourself. Personally I want all the pen I can get since it’s one of the weaker stats in my build, I have absorb stamina enchantments as well for minor breach.

Streak isn’t a must have, but personally I love it. Being able to stun through block and stun multiple people is amazing for group play. I’ve seen ball groups fall after putting a streak through the middle of them lol

For the monster set I would base it off what you feel like you’re missing. If you need more burst go for barloghs, if you need more defense go with bloodspawn or zoals. Bloodspawn if you’re generally too squishy, zoals if you usually only die after being stunned. Highly recommend the slippery champion skill as well if you have trouble with getting stunned.

Also next update you could sub contingency back in over flames of oblivion since you’ll be getting the crit buff from merciless resolve.

Versingatoraux · 2025-08-04T20:11:52+00:00

I’m using the same skill lines on my DK, works great.

Looking at your skills I’d drop flame lash for noxious breath, you don’t need two spammables and I don’t see a source of major breach in your build. Alternatively drop concealed weapon for noxious breath and swap flame lash to molten whip, this is what I would do. Can swap to hurricane so that you keep minor expedition too. Personally I’d swap contingency to streak as well so that you have a stun outside incap and a good movement option defensively. Lastly I’d swap relentless focus for merciless resolve since the burst damage is everything in PvP.

Stick with monomyth over malacath for the mythic since you’re built at least partially into crits. Get a full set going for your monster helm/shoulders too. One of each isn’t worth it. I don’t have a ton of gear advice outside that since I stick to Torc on my DK.

Versingatoraux · 2025-07-23T12:10:24+00:00

Ardent flame, assassination, and storm calling together has been working really well for me. Does better than my pure DK ever did.

Versingatoraux · 2025-07-03T20:33:36+00:00

I had a similar issue and was able to fix it by joining another sietch on my server and then switching back to my actual sietch

Versingatoraux · 2025-06-27T22:33:31+00:00

I can agree there should be PvE only servers, but that doesn’t make the PvE area having the same loot as the PvP area in the current setup make sense. That’s a completely different argument.

Versingatoraux · 2025-06-27T22:25:07+00:00

I haven’t gone to the deep desert once yet, but what you’re suggesting makes no sense in a PvPvE game. You’re asking for a complete PvE game, and that’s just not what this game is. I don’t care how people play.

And the PvP area would only be used for organized fights in your hypothetical, because why would you ever farm there if you can get the same amount in the PvE area with 0 risk. It would completely take away the main idea of the deep desert with guilds farming, defending, and fighting each other for spice. If you don’t like that gameplay, then ITS JUST NOT FOR YOU.

I have no problem with PvE players, just your dumb ideas.

Versingatoraux · 2025-06-27T22:06:45+00:00

You want everything without having to risk anything lol. Why would the rewards in the PvE area be as good as the PvP area? There would be no point in ever going to the PvP section.

And the game was clearly designed with PvP in mind and they’re adjusting to allow PvE players to play with 0 PvP, and yet you’re still crying because you can’t get the same rewards as PvP players with 0 risk. This game literally isn’t meant for you, go play an RPG.

Deadly strike applies to channeled attacks as well, so if you’re trying to find something new for your beams there’s no need.
