I'm growing tired of playing a nightblade and want to make a stamina dk, I don't have any experience with the class but I see a lot of people choose either imperial or redgaurd for their race.

    There's a lot of good choices.

    Imperial's - For any Stam classes, highest potential DPS

    Khajits- Increased crit

    Orc and Redguard- High DPS with sustain

    Wood Elf- Best sustain

    Nord- Tankiest

    Dark Elf- Best for respeccing between magic and stam; hybrid potential and bonus flame damage, though that mostly only applies to Flames of Oblivion and Burning Talons.

    Most of the skills and morphs are magicka based, so I would recommend a race with some magicka passives.

    Also, I would recommend Dunmer. They have both magicka and magicka/stamina passives, plus they have passives to flame damage, which is really useful if you choose to use skills with such damage :wink:

    Stam DKs have pretty good sustain already, so I suggest to go Khajiit to max out DPS.

    I also recommend Nord as a great DK tank, even when all points go to magicka or stamina, Nord still keeps a marvelous health and health regen values. Redguard also is good DK, ofc for stamina :).

    If you want to be best in:
    PvP:orc
    PvE:orc
    If you dont want to be good: anything else than orc

    If you're talking strictly PVE, Redguard is probably the easiest to play due to their adrenaline rush passive. However if you're CP capped I'd suggest the Khajiit. You can counterbalance some of the sustain with CP and reach higher damage numbers with increased crit. DK trial/ 4 man rotation isn't very resource draining if you're efficient with your weaving, pots, and resource gain from ultimate. PvP wise I'd go Redguard or Imperial. Redguard for the sustain and imperial for the max stats. Imperial will have the easiest time running drinks in PvP due to their max health passive.

    Slightly OT: I'm considering leveling a new magicka DK for PvP. (My orc is cool and all, but I'm gonna need all the help I can get.)

    Dunmer or Altmer for magicka DK?
