Magicka Dragonknight Gear Suggestions?

Valykc

Hey I've been making a Magicka DK for PvE and due to the DKs barely having any help in the class line for Magicka, besides a select few, I was wondering what sets do you find most useful on your DK for resource management and damage. I am running Destro/RESTO. I am ok with dropping RESTO for dual wield or sword and board but I like destro for elemental drain and elemental Blockade.

I am a Dark Elf with about 300cp currently

The sets I was looking at (includes One Tamriel Sets too):

Julianos
Alchemist
Burning spell weave
Silks of the sun
Rattlecage
Seducer
Lich
Warlock
Amberplasm
Treasure hunter
Spinners room
Spider cultist
Mothers sorrow
Magnus
Whitestrakes
Spectres eye

Just wondering what would give me the most damage and still have decent recovery. Also list any sets that you find useful that I might not have added.

Thanks everyone for your help!

Look into:

Burning Spell Weave Set
Sun Set
Skoria (Monster Set)

The Uninvited

At the moment Im running 5 Twice Born + 5 Sun (jewelry + staff + head) + kena shoulders. Thief and Shadow mundus. Double destro, sbarpened on single target bar for bosses, precise on aoe nar for mobs. Jewelry all enchanted with spell damage glyphs.

If you can't get Twice Born Star you could go with Julianos. If you can't get Sun, use Willpower jewelry and Valkyn two piece (if you have that), it's getting a nice boost in the coming update.

The rest depends on how many CP you have.

Yeah I have a set of Twice Born, I also have skoria. Currently I was testing 5 Magnus, but I didn't notice much difference in it helping. My resources. I do need to get Silks of the sun though. Thanks for your input! You're not the first person I heard of with the double destro setup, I'll probably try that too!

For resources you really have to use potions, DK's burn up magicka fast (too many skills in one rotation) so try to aim for 40k magicka, 18k health and 800 recovery. When you're low on magicka, pop a potion.

And yeah, the dual destro. To be honest, I have run that since the beginning.

My single target bar has Inner Light, Engulfing Flames, Molten Whip, Igneous Weapons, Rearming Trap. Ulti: Shooting Star (just for extra magicka and extra recovery)
My AOE bar has Inner Light, Burning Talons (could swap for Blockade), Molten Whip, Eruption, Draw Essence (could swap for Elemental Ring). Ulti: Standard of Might.

Rotation on bosses: Igneous, Rearming, Engulfing (switch bar), Eruption, Molten Whip/medium attack weave. Always use Standard ulti if ready.
Rotation on mobs: Igneous, Rearming (switch bar), Eruption, Talons, Essence. Finish with whip whatever is still standing.

This works for me, but it's best to find out what works for you.

Yeah I am running my setup very similar to yours but my character was a Stam DK first so I'm leveling some skills yet.

My single target is: burning embers, inner light, elemental drain, whip, ash cloud (will be eruption). Ult is Dawnbreaker of smiting

AoE bar is: engulfing flames, elemental blockade, draw essence, elemental ring, burning talons. Ult: standard of might

Running 5 twice born, 2 skoria, 3 willpower, sharpen destro and precise destro

I have to grind mages guild for shooting star but that's my goal this week.

Thanks again for the help!

I'm using 3 willpower, 5 kagranacs hope, 4 magnus. All heavy and mostly impen. Sword and board. Mostly built for pvp.. With food and buffed I have 2500 spell power, 1700 recovery, 30k max magicka, and 30k and 25k physical and spell resist.. Crit resist is mid 2000's I believe. Destro staff on the back bar for range and another DOT. I'm having a lot of fun with it. And that spell damage gets even higher with the heavy armor passive. It can get around 3k. Which for a maicka dk with still 1700 recovery is pretty good in my opinion.

Yeah that sounds like a good build for PVP! Might have to try that out sometime. I'll have a hard time parting ways with skoria though. I love me so skoria!

I'm running 5 heavy kags, 2 Valkyn skoria, 5 silks of the sun with dual wield sharpened swords on front bar, then powered endurance mace and impen endurance shield on back bar. Basically you wanna stack a bunch of health on your back bar to make Coag blood heal for more so structured entropy on back bar, and health glyph on your shield.

I wouldn't rule out valkyn.. You can always keep that and try kags. I also would like to try it to be honest.. But the 2 extra pieces from magnus are good because you get recovery plus spell damage. But with skoria you might get more damage than just 1 spell damage bonus. Give it a shot!
