Need help from experienced mag dk's

Cameron991

I'm a dunmer dk and I am a low lvl but I was wandering if you guys can help me form the ultimate mag dk that can survive and kill fast in pvp but also tank in pve. I would really love if you guys can help me fully and give me tips I would love to see gear,weapons, skills and cp distribution I would really appreciate it thank you so much.

You'll need different gear for pvp and pve but there's nothing stopping you from being tanky in pvp as a mag Dk.

For pvp I think heavy armour is the way forwards for mag Dk either 5 heavy 2 light or 7 heavy but that's personal preference.
Sword and shield as main bar because it gives that extra armour and item slot. Possibly resto on the back bar for healing ward/ blessing of protection.
By low level I assume non vet ie lvl 50 and below. Gear wise for that is a bit more tricky because jewelry is harder to come by and a lot of the passives aren't unlocked yet.
Skills wise what I'm using is:

S&b
1) empowering chains
2) inhale
3) choking talons
4) burning embers
5) flame lash
u) dragon leap/ standard

Resto
1) wings
2) volatile armour
3) molten weapons
4) healing ward
5) invigorating drain
U) bat swarm

This is all for non vet though
In 5 heavy 2 light
5 seducer and 4 Magnus and running drinks for regen
Fassalas guille jewelry for the added health with spell power enchants.
Getting to 23k health
26k resists buffed
And I think 2800 spell power buffed and 1.8k mag recovery.

Hope this helps a little

Lookup Cor gaming on YT. A good set of kagrenacs hope heavy armor is good all around and you can use for PvP and tanking 4 man dungeons.

I'm bumping this so it's easier for me to find when I'm on lunch break

I found going vamp early on really helped wit the 10% extra regen by being in stage 4 now

I'll still deciding between going 5 kagrenacs, 4 magnus , 3 willpower or 5 seducer, 1 kena, 3 willpower, 2/3 torugs

Seducer does help but with cp you can get good cost reduction without it I reckon.

Except OP mentioned he was low level. Assuming has not hit level 50 yet.

OP, by playing mag dk class, the first thing you need to come into terms with, is that you will not have a burst damage.

However, your sustain is really good, offensively, and defensively.

Send me your psn and I can show you a competitive build on lower levels.

A large portion of how builds are made is a combination of understanding how your skills work and what they do, understanding mechanics of other classes, and also having a rotation of skills depending on the situation.

There's are so many common magdk builds but are just copied off from somewhere else, including sets. Most people can't even pvp without champion points. I have seen people who claim to be badass pvp'ers because they maxed out CP's and pimped out gear, then drop in 3-5 secs in a non-vet campaign.

I'm on Xbox but I'm lvl 10 I just don't want to go in pvp blind bc I want to play as a dps tank. I don't want to have to switch cp when I want to do dungeons instead of pvp I want to only have to change gear and maybe take off or add on abilities @Kagoky

I'm still new to mag dk but here is my setup:
5 kags, 1 blood spawn, 1 kena, 3 willpower, 2 torugs & 2 blessing of potentates
both bars are S&B
5 heavy 2 light - 6 impen + 2 sturdy (shields can have impen & are treated as armor)
atro mundus, all attrib points in magic

bar1 - talons, burning embers, invig drain, whip, reflective scales - ult shifting standard (i dont have meteor yet)

bar2 - deep breath, magicka harness, structured entropy, igneous, coagulating - ult healing bats

Contrary to popular champion point placement I'm not going for the Unchained passive because I have no stamina abilities to cast. However if I did go for unchained I might try to put rapid maneuvers on?

If you go for unchained stick on shuffle
