[Disciple of Khaine][Dok] Stat & build questions

First off I looked around the boards to see if there is any current info on DoK.. Not much around, it seems like not a favorite based on the stuff I did read.
Not of a healer and not much for DPS.

I am considering on playing it as a Solo Roaming build to some degree if team healing is not that useful per se.

So if the class is still viable for what I am asking..

Is there a stat cap in the game?
A max healing in the game?

Any builds or guides someone can pass along?

Or I am I just making a mistake..

Hello, here is a good guide on dps dok. In solo roaming, it is quite specific and requires some knowledge of the game and the classes you will be playing against.

You don't have any way to catch kiters. You self heals don't work if you are dealing with kiters, or with someone with high parry/ block/ absorb/ mitigation. Your dmg is mediocre even if you go full glass cannon. Also you have no way to build your mechanic, unless you manage to enter melee first (gl vs kiters again). Or unless you are using chalice in offhand- doing even less dmg, and locking yourself out of all the best dd abilities.

To sum it, outside of very specific niche situations I consider dps dok currently unplayable.

Thank you very much for this great insight.. I begrudgingly realized that while posting and looking around at skills. But sometimes you have to hear it..
