I literally was scrolling your discord minutes ago trying to figure out what build would make a good intro to the dk, when this build popped up on my notifications. The search has ended. Very excited to play this.
Its extremely strong with practice. There are times where it feels like a walking world boss or Kratos himself, marching down the Greek gods for revenge
Vigor and Dragon Blood both count as single target heals so focused mending is enough, I’d swap Swift Renewal for Ironclad or Untamed Aggression for a defensive/offensive CP (the extra weapon damage also affects heals) or Cleansing Revival for a mini Mara’s Balm… even Occult Overload is good for this build. Definitely transmute that chest to Reinforced to squeeze as much resistances as possible. An alternative set-up could be Potentates/Bloodspawn/Oaken/Trainee/Rushing/ (to maintain the theme of the build) which should give you 30k resistances and overall better ultimate generation which means you could swap decisive for charged for even more sustain; I’d go as far to say that you could even go bloodthirsty at that point.
I tested it with all respect to your work - the solo build is completely unplayable, zero survivability..even the toxic does not save in the imperial city in such a build only mobs and noobs to beat cosplay 10/10
How long did you “test it”? I’ve got probably thousands of hours on it. Battlegrounds, IC and Cyrodiil gameplay is actually available to watch if you need help learning how to play it. I’ve got maybe 50 other people confirmed using it and loving it too...
@@Grimsforge-Gaming several bg and races in the imperial city I would say that maybe I was lucky to have cool players against me , but there are basically the same people running around the damage of the build is good, but there are problems with survivability..especially against hybrid sorks Maybe it's me, but I couldn't even survive against a normal player in any case , the idea is interesting and original
Finally got my toon leveled to 50 and farmed the gear, so I figured I'd take it out for a spin in the choasball BG event. The force is strong with this one. Granted, the toon is new to BG's, so I'm not up against the high-octane folk, but I am doing a LOT better than I thought I would. Racking up plenty of kills, keeping deaths fairly low, and just having a ton of fun. Even got a few compliments tonight. Super glad I decided to give this one a try.
Been playing a single target(ish) alternate to this built by swapping spin2win for flames of oblivion and throwing on leap. Flames helps proc the whip stacks so you get a nice combo of preemptive flame>chain>flame>full stack whip for more of a single target burst offering. Fun build. Very fun. S2W def the move for group play tho.
Put the Kratos skill bar on an Imperial DK with Stage III Vamp and comparable sets while i level dual wield and farm Rush. Definitely alot of fun and overwhelmingly effective in Middle MMR groups with careful resource management (Mag). Definitely helps to focus on Vigor as the main heal and save Mag Resources for chains and O-Shit! moments. Outta be just as good in fastlane BGs with fully leveled DW and proper gear. GGs!!!
I just made this build but have to go to work. I am going to be thinking about playing all day. I watched the game play of the build and it looks awesome. Ty!!!!
@@apoindexter1991 thanks! Not a lot of people care to know the why or how and just want the build. Then they struggle with it and come back later to see why. You’ll do great!
@@Grimsforge-Gaming Im sorry for the late response. I need to figure out why RUclips isn't showing some of my notifications. I'm still primarily on Xbox but I do have a fully leveled DC Dragoknight on PC NA now. Some of my gear is still blue but it would be nice to run with you sometime.
Any of the older Ghost of Sparta builds work. Some consist of two craftable sets even. More time adjusting to the playstyle is the most important factor. Resource management under pressure, how to use the chains offensively and defensively to pull yourself out of trouble or at least use the major expedition to los
@@Trackhawk_light Yeah but it really comes down to the player. If you enjoy that play style, are willing to put the time in on the build and style. Its not the answer people want to hear but the truth.
This was my build for amost a year but then the pull became bugged about year and a half ago.. I have never seen anyone run this build except me. Great minds think alike. I described my build as "Not even fair". Only difference is I use talons not whip.. To hold them there and proc occult overload. Even that is nerfed now.. and Plague not Heartlands.. I like your style tho
Kratos wasn't a vampire, thats it. So def run it and stage 3 for the undeath passive, if you like. I rarely/never run vampire unless the strike the shadows passive is needed and I NEVER run stage 3 on anything. Its strange but I don't want all the drawbacks of stage 3 vampire in the hopes that the undeath passive will save me.
Hey man, love the build. But I do have a question I have this exact build except I'm a dark elf and un buffed I'm only at 4800 WD. All other stats are very similar. Not sure what I'm missing because your sitting at 5700.
You could run a more Hulk like setup here: ruclips.net/video/oR3xoHMwDgg/видео.html Or run the same abilities as Kratos and just drop the 2h execute in place of the DW execute
Hit the show more in the descriptions and the last year or two of gameplay is linked there. Especially watch the last two Whitestrakes videos for outnumbered
@@Grimsforge-Gamingty for an answer, i saw you wrote this under some other comment, yet it would be great to see actual gameplay at the start of the video or instead of dummy parse.
That’s interesting I’ve got hundreds of hours of gameplay on it in outnumbered situations. Many times without a healer in the group.. Me: “Hey everyone, this is the build many of you were asking about that I’ve been having a lot of success on!” You: (drools a little) “Terrible tbh” /shrug

Great Job Grim!!!

It’s a lot of fun. Takes practice!
@Grimsforge-Gaming I am not scared of practice and have to level up my dual wield anyway. You give great context with your builds
@@apoindexter1991 thanks! Not a lot of people care to know the why or how and just want the build. Then they struggle with it and come back later to see why. You’ll do great!
Change out Heartlands Conquerer for Hist sap for the heal over time, and you have a great X'ing build that also works well with Werewolf
@@FightingCondition yes it's worth, put Hist on Weapons and Jewelry.
As someone who just started playing dk and hates how the class plays this build seems so much more fun than every other meta dk build ive tried.
Glad you are liking it!! Keep me posted on it
🔥🔥🔥 I saw you running this in one of Kerkhoff's streams and people were struggling to kill you lol.
Yeah. It was great to get to run with him! Speaking of that, where are you at these days?

Yes!
Kratos rules!💪
I like you thinking on this, do you have a written guide? Also with viable alternatives untill farming gear is complete. Thank you.

Think about this build that doesn’t need rush it just needs the new scribing skill that pulls them all in
Yep 👍🏻 interesting times ahead
Great job on the character resemblance
Thanks! I’ve got a bunch of crazy characters too!
the problem with cyrodill is it has to many solo roamers looking to get their 1vX fix for a youtube video.....zerg them all down.
Your always a Nord on your builds so i take it thats the best race for this? Or would any others be viable also?
🔥

I might be one of the ones that were not paying attention, but I didn't hear you say anything about vamp. Why aren't you one?

Are you running Nirnhoned Sword mainhand and Decisive Sword offhand?
Infused Weapon/Spell damage on all jewelry?
CP is same?
How do you spend your points health magicka stamina I don't think you say in the video
Get your health over 30k then split between mag and stam
Does the Nerf to corrosive armour make a difference can you still play this❤
You can still play it. You’ll notice a little longer between ults for sure
Hey man, Was gonna run this again, now I am wondering how does it do with the changes to corrosive armor
I haven’t played in 2-3 months. I would need to reinstall and play test to give you an honest answer. Are you console or pc?
Bro! please come back o7 @@Grimsforge-Gaming
@@popgoestheweasel7636 Do you play on pc?
recently just transferred bro@@Grimsforge-Gaming
@@popgoestheweasel7636 I might reinstall and run around with you. NA or eu?
What potions are you using. ty
Tristat potions for sure!
Awesome build! Out of curiosity, how would you optimize this for 2h playstyle?
You could run a more Hulk like setup here: ruclips.net/video/oR3xoHMwDgg/видео.html
Or run the same abilities as Kratos and just drop the 2h execute in place of the DW execute
If ur farming rush, what is a good substitute
Judgment of Akatosh is fun also
Most importantly, look at all them ballistas lol
Great build! I can't find where you tell us how much to put in stam, health etc..
Just make sure you hit the 30k on health then the rest into stamina:) Ty for reminding me
I was having a blast with this build till this latest patch. @@Grimsforge-Gaming
@@JackGillete yeah? I hadn’t played for a couple weeks. What did they do to it after the patch?!
What about Rush of Agony + Judgment of Akatosh combo ? Tried it ?
Was looking at that on my Ahsoka Tano templar ;)
@@Grimsforge-Gaming im looking at t Rush of Agony + D Trockery. Give you all major buffs you miss. Will be long time of testing :D
@@runkorko I was looking at that for a werewolf!
How did you get the wrappings on the prison gloves to dye mine only dies the metal part the wrappings stay white
What are the attributes set to for this build?
Just aim for 30k hp and the rest into stamina
So I'm not insane for using chains
So this is still a thing?
Gameplay?
Hit the show more in the descriptions and the last year or two of gameplay is linked there. Especially watch the last two Whitestrakes videos for outnumbered

Nightblades lack single target burst is the #1 answer Steve!
