[DOK] Looking for advice - melee support dps build

[shamallow]

okay.
i don't have a really good gear atm.
i would try 4P mercenary + Ruin Gloves (2% parry).
For Back and jewelry, i don't know what is the best.

The New jewelry Sets Are Not Bad. But think there is no dok StR one. Hmm if u go the Standard str wounds one?

[freshour]

I would not worry about ruin the set is 100% trash for a DoK. Swear it all has willpower on it lol. if the 2 piece was str and not willpower then sure. But maybe work on 2 piece merc, 3 piece duelist. and use the duelist shoulders, and boots I think whichever has crit and reduced chance to be parried then 3 merc pieces would be the "fastest" i think.

Ruin gear/new sc accessories would take longer than getting 3 sets of merc gear haha.

Great healing, good damage but requires RR40 and full merc. Bathe in the tears of order

Listen to freshour, I play with him constantly. Melee DoK (he prefers Melee Healer lol) can be a HUGE assset to the team however I do often guard him, most PUGs wont toss you guard and even if they do most wont actually stay in range for you to actually be guarded by them.

Your best bet is to spam LFG or guild chat, find a chosen or some other tank who will guard you and then duo Q or get into a real melee train. The support healing DoKs can do is VERY good, people under estimate them all the time.

I have been in many scenarios (while guarding freshour) and he is #1 in total damage AND healing, beating even the backline guys... So the potential for the class is HUGE but requires ALOT of support (guard + other melee to help push their backline).

OH, but prepare to get blamed for EVERY SC loss. People hate to lose, even if its PUG vs PM, youll see people say "oh great, were losing because our DoK is melee. Learn to heal".

Hmm if he is rly #1 at dmg sry but than the other dps classes rly Do something wrong. Or its just cause of guard and He dont die

For duel you can change healdebuff to tactic witch increase prok chance of covenants.

well the strenght of a dps Dok and a tank workign together is that they can do really well in a pug.

They wont have same dps as lets say a tank and a mara or a WE. But they have healing and can do well on their own, they dont have to rely on a pug healer healing them as they would if it was a tank and a pure melee dps.

That means they wont die very often specially against a pug, so less downtime, more damage and more kills even if the damage output is a bit lower.

In many cases a pure dps would be better, if you also have good healers. but to be sure of that you need a premade. dont expect it to happen in a pug. With a Dok and a tank you can do fairly well only with 2 people and witht hat exttra survivability it will mean you wont die as much and therefore in the end having a real good amount of damage done

Using Divine Fury and Murderous Intent tatics loses 40% of your healing power and neutering group heal Transfer Essence ! DOK is not supporting the group but hurting it!

The 50% heal critt debuff definitely helps in group play ,specially aoe dot abilities. The heal debuff lasts for only 5 secs though so focusing in percent critt chance would be wise .

Focusing on tanking, minimal damage , healing group and heal debuff is great for supporting your group.

Heal debuffs do not affect lifetaps.
