Hey I know you're busy and might not see this.. But hasn't lava whip been nerfed? I haven't played in awhile and would like to make a DK but I'm just not sure about the DPS of it
Love this vid I love how you go into detail about it and you show exactly what attacks and spells you have and you make sure we can see what you are running !!! Thanks !!!!
Thanks for the video - the info is helpful to me, as I'm also a DK (Orc) and I've very recently gone with 7/7 light armor and staff and it seems to be working much better for me. Good stuff :)
The long awaited build video! I totally forgot to show the attribute points. 0-49-0 (All Points into Health) Got any more questions? Ask! Like and Subscribe for future content!
How soon will you be doing an updated build video? I just really started getting into pvp and your vids have helped me out alot ;) btw did you ever play Runescape Classic or was that before your time?
Ok it might have been him that I fought I can't recall it's been a few days now haha. Well I love your guide and thanks for the tip with curse. I'm working on a dk now since I'm vet on my sorc. Do you think wearing 5 light and two heavy is good for the extra armor and still getting the max on passives?
Hey tyvm for this! I'm getting eso really soon and was wondering where or how I can play with you. Ik this sounds dumb but I don't really know how to join a guild, what alliance you are in, or what your home server is. I'm a complete noob to Elder Scrolls so this video helped a lot. Thanks!
Thanks for the vid. I'm still leveling my DK (lvl 40 so far) - You seem to have a lot of skill lines leveled up to 50. What's your advice on leveling skills? When leveling do you usually focus on just 2 weapons and 1 or 2 armor types and then grind to level the others once you hit Vet levels?
Great build Sypher I've watched you in battle firsthand Only I was against you in battle these past few days. It seems fighting a dk as a sorc a good ability to use against you and other dks is mages wrath. Any opinions on that Sypher
Yes, mages wrath is great. But the main DPS you should keep on them is curse (because it's not blockable or reflectable). Oh and you might have been fighting Sphyer, who is a big fan but isn't me. I haven't been on my DK for a few weeks because I was focusing on NB. There are a few DKs out there with similar names so you might have confused them with me :P
Thx Sypher for your very interesting posts. I have following question: I've watched your DK clips and I've noticed that you make a lot of damage with you magicka-attacks .. where does that come from?
Hi man, great build. Can you do a vid of yourself playing this spec, why/when you swap to staff. Would be great to see it in action with you explaining what your doing. 1-1 and grp vs grp Thanks
curious if you're running any specific sets with this build. for my similar setup, I use seducer, magnus, warlock, and i'll probably shift things around at vr12 for blessing of the potentates instead of seducer. my setup has a completely different resto bar but a nearly identical 1h/s bar
Hey sypher was wondering when you were going to upload the new patch build or simply explain what you changed. Really enjoyed this videos build. Wanted to see what you have changed.
hey Sypher, I'm new (console obviously) and I'm getting my face smashed in by v14 Aldmeri. Any chance you can do an updated version of this video? thanks for posting, your content is awesome.
Hey sypher I know this came out little bit ago but ive been watching your vids for months now and must say im impressed with how you play. I suck haha I can tell you that much but im looking forward to getting better. Hope to see a new vid soon
Hi Sypher, i run almost the exact same build in pvp, but i wonder how you survive a fight against a rogue/ archer focusing on autoattacks. your armor should be around
Archers are actually one of my easier targets. I just reflect all their auto attacks, poison arrows, and snipes. They use up stamina for their abilities, survive long enough for their stamina to be running out, then invasion them, knock them down and begin to slaughter. I'll show you video examples in the next video hopefully.
Sypher | Gaming Channel I've actually had problems with Snipe ignoring my Scale, have you not had this happen? Very annoying to be standing out in the open with Scale perpetually up, daring an archer to hit me, then they try and it actually hits right through my reflect.
Sypher | Gaming Channel Wow, another discovery of poor communication on ZOS's part. They could have said something about it, in either of the skill tooltips.
Thanks! This really helped alot! Just one question.. I was going to make a Nord - Dragonknight but looks Darkelf would make a much better one. Should I make a darkelf instead or do you think a nord will be fine?
Sypher | Gaming Channel Also, is it maybe possible you can tell me your attribute setup? Not sure if you told it to us or not. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention.
hey pal.. great video... i have one question.. wouldnt a high elf be better than dark elf.. due to the fact that is has better racials for magica?? or is it worth it to have a Dark elf due to the extra fire damage?? all the best
The extra fire damage/resistance is too good to pass on for PvP. You already have good Magicka management because of the high magicka recovery and 7/7 light armor.
How do you place your glyphs on your weapons and armors? I'm trying to match your health, magicka, and stam but have a hard time guessing. Also what type of rings, enchant you use? Thanks
Sypher | Gaming Channel Thanks man, if u make multiple updates to your DK depending if you just change it up or something gets patched please make another video on it but if its just a few changes can u please make annotations on the video of what you changed Thanks :)
Hi. I Don't know if you're looking your comments but i have some questions. I found your vid and this is the build that i wanted to make. But i saw you did another vid about Magicka DK build. Wich one is the newest/best/still work ?
How do you not need any points to stamina? Im following the build but i have quite a few points put to stamina and i still run out of it and magika a lot. Any tips?
Sawyer McHaney If you're working with a hybrid build, you'll need to focus on jewelry that reduces resource costs...I'm having to work with a dps-heal dk build that began as a tank, so I know your pain.
I plan to follow this build after i hit vet rank for sure cause im going to re spec everything but i just dont see how all 49 pts are put to heals and then him still have enough magika and stam to do anything
It may be that his light armor passives are helping as well. Light armor passives allow you to recoup tons of magicka very quickly but the stamina idk. My build is stamina magicka dk with nothing into health. It started as a stamina tank but I saw a few stamina dps players raping face and decided to run with a hybrid, specifically since my character is a High Elf.
Hi I have vt 10 DK medium armor and dual wield maxed + bow but i think it isn't so good. Any idea how can i fast level up light armor + destruction staff and 1h+ shield?
Natsu Uzamaki This build is severely out-dated. The game has been change where light armor isn't tanky anymore. And most of the sets and abilities he uses have been nerfed.
ia reflective scale and talons the best because i fin dragon armor and dragon blood VERY useful i have never tried reflective scale can some one plz rate talons and refeltive scale from one to ten plz? thx
Tbh the first thing a player would do to your char is stun you. Then unload 20k dps in 10 sec. 2/3 time theyll be cloaking 3/3 its a group dealing 80k in 10 sec. Shield offence and dual weid will not be effective.
For those of you who want to just skim everything quickly, here's a short summary:
Race: Dark Elf (Good Racials) You can choose whatever fits your needs, my recommendation is Dark Elf, High Elf, Imperial, Redgaurd, and orc.
Mundus Stone: The lord (Health boost)
Attribute Points: 0-49-0 (All points into Health)
Bar 1 (one hand/shield):
1. Unstable Flame
2. Whip Lash
3. Invasion
4. Fire Dragon Scale
5. Burning Talons
Bar 2 (Resto Staff):
1. Harness Magicka
2. Immovable
3. Mutagen
4. Fire Dragon Scale
5. Green Dragon’s Blood
Armor Sets: Warlock Set (for solo/small group encounters) Syrabane set for Large/Zerg encounters.
Foods: Consummate Honey Brittle
Potions: Panacea of Health (3 Stat boost)
I've seen you use axe, sword, and mace so which one is the best for this build?
I use the strongest weapon I currently have, but I will end up using the akaviri sword set.
***** Yes argonian passives work decently.
What is your health, stamina, and magicka stat set up ?
Hey I know you're busy and might not see this.. But hasn't lava whip been nerfed? I haven't played in awhile and would like to make a DK but I'm just not sure about the DPS of it
I love watching these vids for nostalgia
Same
same
Love this vid I love how you go into detail about it and you show exactly what attacks and spells you have and you make sure we can see what you are running !!! Thanks !!!!
Not only do you have to have the right build, you also have to be good at pvp. GO SYPHER GO!
Thanks for the video - the info is helpful to me, as I'm also a DK (Orc) and I've very recently gone with 7/7 light armor and staff and it seems to be working much better for me. Good stuff :)
sypher thanks a lot I'm new gamer of eso this video help me a lot.. thank you man ur the beast and the best. cheep up!
Great information. I just started playing a dragon knight and this has helped me a lot.
The long awaited build video! I totally forgot to show the attribute points. 0-49-0 (All Points into Health) Got any more questions? Ask! Like and Subscribe for future content!
How did u level up earthen heart w/o using any active abilities?
Chris Law I did use them, it was probably after a respec and I didn't have any skill points into them.
ah ok,, cool
Sypher | Gaming Channel Hey what is your glyp?
Sypher | Gaming Channel what did you focus attributes on ?
Is there an updated version of this build anywhere on your channel? Or maybe a list of your builds? Cheers!
How soon will you be doing an updated build video? I just really started getting into pvp and your vids have helped me out alot ;) btw did you ever play Runescape Classic or was that before your time?

Yes. Put skill abilities on you bar that you want to level up. Focus on 2 weapons and 2 armor types.
Epic build! So gonna use most of these!
can you make an updated build video?
Great build Sypher
I've watched you in battle firsthand
Only I was against you in battle these past few days. It seems fighting a dk as a sorc a good ability to use against you and other dks is mages wrath. Any opinions on that Sypher

I haven't been on my DK for a few weeks because I was focusing on NB. There are a few DKs out there with similar names so you might have confused them with me :P
Would like to know if you have changed any morphs or abilities since the patches that have it since you made this video.
Thx Sypher for your very interesting posts.
I have following question:
I've watched your DK clips and I've noticed that you make a lot of damage with you magicka-attacks .. where does that come from?
From the race the dark elf it boost your fire dmg by 60% and reduse incoming flame dmg by 60% so u see him always uses fire dmg
WildRage 502
.. really 60%?! Thx for your answer.
np anytime

***** Yes. I figured out the reason too. If they hit you from sneak with snipe they will hit right through you.
Sypher | Gaming Channel Wow, another discovery of poor communication on ZOS's part. They could have said something about it, in either of the skill tooltips.
Do you use any sets for your armor like The Seducer set or anything like that?
with the syrabane for zergs its still with Sedu x 5 ? Btw Great Video helpd alot :p
Thanks! This really helped alot! Just one question.. I was going to make a Nord - Dragonknight but looks Darkelf would make a much better one. Should I make a darkelf instead or do you think a nord will be fine?
I recommend Dark Elf, nord is better for tanking though.
Sypher | Gaming Channel Alright, I'll make a darkelf then. Thanks!
Sypher | Gaming Channel Also, is it maybe possible you can tell me your attribute setup? Not sure if you told it to us or not. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention.
Matt Clifton 49 points into health.
Alright, thanks. I just went back to look and saw it in the bottom right corner so sorry for missing that. lol
Im doing a build like this, what changes have you made with the patches :-) Thanks, love your videos
Is there any reason u don't use molten weapons ? :)
hey pal.. great video...
i have one question.. wouldnt a high elf be better than dark elf.. due to the fact that is has better racials for magica??
or is it worth it to have a Dark elf due to the extra fire damage??
all the best
The extra fire damage/resistance is too good to pass on for PvP. You already have good Magicka management because of the high magicka recovery and 7/7 light armor.
ur right, thanks dude. good luck, keep owning
How do you place your glyphs on your weapons and armors? I'm trying to match your health, magicka, and stam but have a hard time guessing.
Also what type of rings, enchant you use? Thanks
Ooohh the nostalgia
Thanks for sharing this sypher
Hey Sypher, what build would you suggest for a PvE Dragonknight tank?
Whats your mundus stone? sypher Sypher | Gaming Channel
At the time of this video, it was "The Lord" I'm currently thinking about switching it out because I can soft cap my health easier.
Sypher | Gaming Channel Thanks man, if u make multiple updates to your DK depending if you just change it up or something gets patched please make another video on it but if its just a few changes can u please make annotations on the video of what you changed Thanks :)
Koitch Sure, I'll make an update video pretty soon.
Hey man great job with the build I think I'm going to go your way about it , iv been using med armour ATM could it not work with that ?
It could work, although I do recommend some light or mostly light because of the spell resistance + magicka recovery + reduces the cost of spells.
Hi. I Don't know if you're looking your comments but i have some questions. I found your vid and this is the build that i wanted to make. But i saw you did another vid about Magicka DK build. Wich one is the newest/best/still work ?
Bith work great, with a magika u have a higher survival in my opinion, but also with stam u just need to work longer to get the abilities
what addons are you using for the combat text etc??
What is the complete armor set you're wearing?
do you have something involving argonians?
with this next update are magic DKs going to be weaker then stamina DK?
What armor sets, enchantments, food, potions etc. do you run with?
Do you use food buffs? What enchants are on your gear? All magicka?
Mainly magicka. Food buff would consummate honey brittle (boosts all 3 stats for 2 hours)
Is this build still current?
You mention future patches a few times, so I want to be sure.
No it's been changed and I plan to upload a 1.3 update to this build.
Sypher | Gaming Channel Could you list what addons your using in 1.3 also?
Would stone giant be a good knockdown for a dark elf dk?
Would it hurt to put in 2 pieces of heavy armor?
Do you craft at all? If not, how do you get your gear?
I craft some, pufchXs the rest from other crafters.
*purchase
wouldn't the attribute points be more effective in Magica then in health
How well does this build hold up to Update 3?
Would any other armor type work with this build? Thanks.
Is this still your build after last update?
no, I will make an update vid soon.
What tree should I focus on leveling the most?
I mean what abilities should I focus on morphing?
Wanna do a vid about ur addons??
What is ur character stats like stamina health n magicka
does this build still work as good?
And I'm loving the build
What is mutegen under?
i'd love to know where you get all your Addons
Esoui.com
what are your addons?
What are your attribute points at
Will this build still work in ESO on ps4
How do you not need any points to stamina? Im following the build but i have quite a few points put to stamina and i still run out of it and magika a lot. Any tips?
And im onlu lvl 40 btw. With 16 stamina pts and 11 magika pts and 10 health pts
Sawyer McHaney If you're working with a hybrid build, you'll need to focus on jewelry that reduces resource costs...I'm having to work with a dps-heal dk build that began as a tank, so I know your pain.
I plan to follow this build after i hit vet rank for sure cause im going to re spec everything but i just dont see how all 49 pts are put to heals and then him still have enough magika and stam to do anything

Hi I have vt 10 DK medium armor and dual wield maxed + bow but i think it isn't so good. Any idea how can i fast level up light armor + destruction staff and 1h+ shield?
doesn't sound like the 1v10 build which one is that
what is that armor
Awesome vid dude!
Will this build work on ps4 also? I want to be a PvP player...thanks...and I am gonna pick the dragon because of this battle, or a Templar
Natsu Uzamaki This build is severely out-dated. The game has been change where light armor isn't tanky anymore. And most of the sets and abilities he uses have been nerfed.
Buying a new comp wich one should i buy if i want to get a steady 30fps+
Scott Gillis make sure the video card is in the top 80 www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
Yes but that top bar I can't find it.
It is in the settings of Wykkyds framework
can we get the Update please
my fucking god your a beast
ia reflective scale and talons the best because i fin dragon armor and dragon blood VERY useful i have never tried reflective scale can some one plz rate talons and refeltive scale from one to ten plz?
thx
Use both of them! They're both great skills.
Tbh the first thing a player would do to your char is stun you. Then unload 20k dps in 10 sec. 2/3 time theyll be cloaking 3/3 its a group dealing 80k in 10 sec. Shield offence and dual weid will not be effective.
What's with all these damn purge adds
Wait nvm the part about sets lol
The only thing about light armour is I hate robes haha I can't find no nice light armour
Jerkin tops aren't robes :) they're my favorite type of light armor.
we will be able to craft jerkins in 1.2, confirmed by ZOS on the official forums
Ye that will be well good when dose that happen
Tank not wearing heavy armor....😐
Hey, make the 1.3 vid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please!
Gear
wow?
real ebonheart dragonknight soldiers use heavy armor, nothing you say can change that
Thanks for the vids Sypher!
Check it out: +ESO+ DK and Sorc Duo PvP.

Sypher | Gaming Channel yea true :(
fortnite doo doo
Copied your build completely.
there is some racial discrimination in your guild, i have some friends that are orcs and would be very hurt by their words
Which guild? :P
Legend
Jesus Christ hmm, well I'm fairly new to the guild. But was it serious?
No im kidding xD they were saying orc and nords were stupid :p
Jesus Christ haha, well I disagree!
wouldn't the attribute points be more effective in Magica then in health
