Magicka Dragonknight Gameplay Commentary - "How to Survive, Sustain, and Kill"

I wanted to create a video going over some tips and tricks for all the new and returning heavy armor magicka dks coming into Cyrodiil. In the video I review a solo fight from last night and how to stay alive, sustain, and try to go for kills while being heavily outnumbered without running a full tank setup. At the end I briefly discuss what I could have done better next time. You can see the build I am running here. But it's essentially just 2 bloodspawn, 5 seducer, 5 burning spellweave.

    I might respec to Dunmer but I duel alot and Stam Dk is so good at that. Magicka dk is good at dueling too but Magicka DK vs Magicka DK is a weird matchup. I feel like I wouldn't be able to kill a light armor Magicka DK with my Heavy set-up plus if they wasn't a vampire they would have an advantage of me taking extra flame damage. Wish someone would theory craft a light armor Magicka DK that was viable in 1vX if there is such a thing (doubtful I know).

    Mag dk vs Mag dk revovles around ember spam.

    Honestly when they finally fixed dragon blood they should of halved the ember heal to how it used to be

    StamDK became easy mode for me and others who mained it. MagDK is a challenge. As for light armour MagDK, well when DR was useful light armour was possible if you were as good of a player as Blabafat. Even in heavy, if you drop block at the wrong moment you're ***. Can't imagine light armour lol.

    Been running light mDK for a while and it's mostly just a changed of playstyle. I've had moments like in the video, able to survive with multiple enemies on me, but it's with using dampen magic and mist instead of blocking and mist. The new ferocious leap makes quick kills combined with Empowering chains rather easy on squishy targets.

    The bane of my existence are nb gankers, be it snipe or good ol empowered ults. Other than that, a fat ward, mist form and high pen and crit for burst damage make it very fun. It's kill or be killed, since I don't have an escape but I kill a lot more than I'm killed and I'm bad. I think light is just as viable as heavy, both depend on skill level since it is mDK.

    syrabane is working good since homestead with all the magicka classes running arround aigan
    that set just gives out 2k flat mag reg :P
    Combine it with seducer or kraganc and it will be better Option as seducer - bsw.
    with kraganac the dmg isnt lower than seducer and bsw, and you have it all the time up.
    while sustaining as good when not better than seducer - bsw

    will strugel aiganst stam users with magicka drain poison if you cannot burst them the first secs, but you cannot have anythign

    NB gankers are a pain in heavy too. Incap kills coag, makes it just as useless as pre patch. I like leap cause it's leap but still run meteor for the max mag + better dmg.

    Actually, leap hits as hard or harder (barely) than meteor for the initial hit. Of course the first dot tick of meteor pops right as it hits, but leap is cheaper, has less telegraph, and gives a shield. I was thinking of running meteor for higher health targets as a burst option, but, as far as burst goes, leap is just as good.

    The mage guild passives are still nice for the slit of meteor though.
