Dunno why it starred your name out lol, but I guess it makes sense to use the set with my sorc/temp because they're magicka, wasn't thinking. Was going to roll stamina on my NB, not sure what do with DK yet.

If I was you I would wait till the next major update in Febuary to pick what you're going to be doing with your DK as we don't know if we are going to get buffed or sc***ed again. For your NB I'll make you some new gear tomorrow.

Might be a good call - but if you don't want to wait, go stamina for PvP. Magicka DK got nerfed hard enough you probably won't have fun as a new player getting used to the game with it. Sword/shield & 2h is pretty strong right now. I'm enjoying sword/shield and dual wield as well. Could throw a bow in there, if that sort of thing appeals to you.

The bow should be used if you want to troll siegers/defenders. Duel wield for group play (steelnado = win) or if you have a lot of night blade encounters (you will) and don't want to use volatile armour/ don't have the magicka to waste to break their stealth.

Sword and board would be best for solo play and gives deceptively good damage combos.

Two-hander gives you the best utility.

Thanks for that video, should definitely help I'll have to remember to practice that. So hard to decide which weapons to use, they all seem awesome. Would resto staff any decent for a sorcerer or should I save that for my templar? I'd like to just level up all the skills, but seems like that'd take forever.
