So I was trying to put together a build that I liked that could both server as my melee DPS and tank with a decent set up for PVP. And I came up with this. Though this build is not finished in anyway shape or form, so insights to improving it would be welcomed.
There are 3 different set ups used in this build for 3 different situations.
Race.
I chose Dunmer for some very specific reasons. One they have a boost to fire dam and two they have resists to fire. The other option I looked at was the Imperial and they have some decent passives I like as well. Though I think for this build I will get more out of the Dunmer Racials over the Imperial Especially since the Vampire passives are going to play an important role in this build.
Armor, Traits, Enchants, and Mundus Stone.
Tank - As for armor I'm going 7 heavy. I may change this to a 5 heavy 2 light or 2 medium depending on how my stats look at VR 10. Right now I'm aiming for 7 heavy for tanking.
DPS - For DPS it's with out a doubt I'll be going 5 medium and 2 light. It looks to be the best way to set it up on paper. Again if I find that a different set up results are better I'll update this.
Enchants - The one thing about this build is that in either set up, tank or DPS, you need lots of both resources. Though I found as DPS you need far less magicka vs the tank set up. For this I may go for a mix of Stamina and Magicka enchantments.
Traits - For traits I'm thinking of using increased enchantment strength. I think this will allow me to soft cap in both Magicka and stamina for DPS and tanking. If I find I can't soft cap both I will most likely go with a stamina set up for DPS and Tanking.
Mundus Stone - So this is where this build has a lot of wiggle room. A lot of Mundus stones could be used to complete this build. It's really going to depend on what stats I have at what cap before I can commit to a single on. Though for DPS I would most likely lean toward Shadow for the increased Critical damage.
Point Distribution.
Because of the nature of this set up I'm leaning towards a 10/29/10 (magicka/Health/Stamina) split. I may have to respec at end game depending on how my stats look.
The Builds.
The are a lot of builds to link for this. mainly because this build is so versatile that I want to give you guys an idea of how I'm thinking to get the most out of this.
This first build is the over all point set spent and PVP quick bar. Overall build.
This next build is my PVE DW build.
And this is my PVE Tank Build.
Closing thoughts.
This build hasn't been tested and is just a theory on paper to being a good set up. This is completely comprised of my doing research and seeing what other people have come up with. I am more than open to suggestions to improving this build, not only for me, but anyone who wishes to also try to do the same thing with their DK character.
