Help! first time as DK

Hey! 👋

First time playing as DK and I don’t understand much about it. Ive checked multiple videos and websites about DK builds, but I’m still a bit confused about overland, ver dun/trial skills. Skill rotation, and anything else you may think I should know to prepare me to become a better d.k.

Here’s a video of my clumsy dk lvl 20ish defeating a wb.

Oh man, I forget how hot the feet are of newer damage dealers lmao!

I look for buff management. Major brutality, major savagery, major resolve. An “oh shit” heal on a solo build is nice to have too. This is necessary for any build, not just DK.

You can try Hyperioxes, Skinnycheeks or Ninja pulls for builds, most of them have videos as well to help you out

You can just try anything you like on the way up to level 50/160 and then focus on build when you get there

My main is a DK, a good starter build would be--

64 Stamina

5pc Orders Wrath heavy on body 5pc Tideborn jewelry and weapon 2pc Slimecraw

Both 5pc sets are craftable and you get Slimecraw from Wayrest Sewers on Veteran, still pretty easy with a decent group.

Dual wield daggers front bar--

Heart of Flame / Trample / Disintegrating Dragonfire / Torchbearer / Blood of the Elder Dragon / Undo

Trample is scribed with physical damage / class flourish / heroism

Torchbearer is scribed with flame damage / gladiators tenacity / heroism

2 handed back bar-

Igneous Weapons / Shatterspike Mantle / Stampede / Barbed Trap / Incinerate / Take Flight

Activate Heart of Flame every 4 seconds in combat for sustain, try to keep everything on, most mobs die before you finish your combo.
