If you're dark elf, I think it's probably better to put points into magicka. With the 9% magicka gain and 7% fire damage they put up good numbers.

Couple builds:

If you're going for a magicka build, then Magicka all the way.

@DrizztWulfgar I also replied to your other post on a similar topic with a few build links.

@DrizztWulfgar Bow isn't the best idea for a magicka build. I wouldn't recommend it. If you're going for a Fire Mage DPS build, you're definitely going to want at least one of your weapons to be a Fire Destro Staff. As for the other weapon, Resto Staff is a great option if you want to heal off-hand, or you could pick up DW or 2H for extra spell damage (just don't use any of the weapon abilities in that case, as they scale with stamina). Alternatively, if you want to be a secondary Tank, you could have 1H/Shield as your back-up weapon (just don't expect to do a lot of damage with it).

I like the DW. You said dont scale the weapon though because of it takes stamina right. That being said is it beneficial with Magicka build.? if it is how so what would be the best. Dont get me wrong i like staff but my preference would be the DW

Thanks sorry for all the question i just bought the game a couple of days ago. Since im at work on my 12 shifts cant hard until tomorrow

The skills themselves scale of stamina, but DW gives more straight spell damage than a staff, so your normal magicka skills do more damage.

So with my DW magicka a can put magicka on my sword plus fire glyph plus the plus
7 % fire damage from my Dark Elf and it all stacks or am i mistaken

@DrizztWulfgar DW is perfectly viable for a magicka build. The DW skills themselves scale with stamina, but that's fine so long as you don't really use the weapon abilities. Because Spell Damage scales with a weapon's base damage, you actually get more raw spell power from dual wielding two melee weapons than you would wielding a staff. Yes, your Dark Elf fire damage passive will increase your overall fire damage from all sources and will serve to complement fire enchantments you put on your weapons.
