I have a VR4 Argonian NB going resto + ___ right now -- magicka-based. I mainly want to pvp and group support.

I'm thinking about 1h+shield, 2H, or DW.

What do you like to do with your magicka-based NB?

    If you will not switch to stamina build you should choose destro or 1h&sh with only defensive posture morph as active skill (for protection). If you will switch to stamina build 2h is good choise for rally (as it grants heal and buffs your stamina based class skills).

    Was DW + resto, but now I'd 1h+shield and resto for my magicka NB (V R14)

    Doing alright, but going from heavy armor to light is obviously a considerable difference. But my dps is better now with my new build.

    Curious
    why can't a 1h/shield nb still go HA?

    use various glyphs, armor sets, to increase magika and spell damage?

    I pvp'ed a bit last night with resto and dw and it was pretty fun. I also did some pve and felt pretty squishy with dw. 1h+shield does work well with resto. I put a health glyph on head, all the rest magicka, and a stam glyph on shield. It seems to work pretty well.

    It was hard for me to tell if I am squishy in pvp because when the numbers were pretty even, it is easy to work with my regular group, but when we get zerged down, there is not much I could do, though I was able to get a way couple of times with cloak and invis pots, which is nice.

    When I get some more skill points, I will try out heavy armor and siphon tanking.

    It can be done. I have 5 heavy, 2 light, ample magicka, plenty of armor and about 27k health. I just feel stupid wearing big ass heavy armor. It's not lore-friendly but, whatever, it works.

    I'm definitely looking forward to trying that out. Have you been pvping?
