What's your favorite Jack-of-All-Trades character? (Opinion-based)

I have quite a few characters that I've created over the years- and it seems that my favorite is the one that can hold it's own in most aspects of the game. Granted, his build won't be holding the Emperor title or tanking vet Trials any time soon- but, honestly, it's my most enjoyable character. It's my mDK build: Savos Saren
Here's his setup and why I consider his skills as the most versatile among all my characters:
Race: Dunmer
Class: Dragonknight
Mundus: The Apprentice
Affliction: Vampire
Attributes: 64 points in magicka
Gear: 5/1/1 setup for the 6% stat bonus from Undaunted Passives
-5 Akaviri Dragonguard (Sword, Chest, Gauntlets, Greaves, Sabatons)
-5 Silks of the Sun (3 Jewelry, 1 Sash, 1 Shield or 1 decisive Inferno Staff- depending on which bar)
-2 Valkyn Skoria (heavy helm, medium shoulders)
All armor has prismatic enchantments with Infused on primary and Divines on secondary pieces. I have a Valkyn set that is also Impen for PVP. I honestly don't need too much impen gear since I use Reflective Scales for ranged fighting. I do mostly large scale battles- so, I'm a support role that works on crowd control (no 1vX for me).
Front Bar: Burning Embers, Puncture, Volitile Armor, Burning Talons (Heroic Slash for bosses, Draw Essence for solo), Igneous Shields (Eruption for Solo) Ultimate: Aggressive Warhorn (Take Flight for solo)
Back Bar: Unrelenting Grip (Reflective Scales for PVP), Force Pulse, Inner Light, Molten Armaments, Blockade of Fire Ultimate: Shooting Star
Here's why I like playing this character and why I think he synergizes well:
- Dunmers are the master race. (j/k)
- The extra fire damage from the Dunmer passive not only makes them formidable- but it also increases their healing. The main fire attacks of a DK also heal them- so Dunmer + Silks of the Sun= good damage and self-heals.
- Akaviri Dragonguard is perfect for a mDK tank. Health, magicka regen, and reduced ulti? (synergizes well with "Battle Roar") Fantastic for groups in PVE and PVP! More warhorn, please!
- Valkyn Skoria not only procs off a DK's DoTs but it's also a fire AoE (which synergizes well with "World in Ruin")
- The Vampire affliction gives damage mitigation (great for tanks) and 10% stam and magicka regen (also great for tanks) while the fire damage is slightly lessened by the Dunmer passives.
With this build, I've tanked vet dungeons, soloed world bosses, and had a fun time in PVP. This build provides team support through buffs (Aggressive Warhorn, Molten Armaments in PVP/PVE), debuffs, holding aggro (in PVE), crowd control (in PVP), self-heals, and adds extra DPS. I know that there are uber PVE vet trial DK tank builds out there (Tava, Alkosh, Bloodspawn) and uber PVP mDK builds (Rattlecage, Desert Rose, Grothdarr)- but this build allows me the flexibility of hopping back and forth, and really, just makes this game enjoyable!
What's your favorite, most flexible build? Remember: this thread is opinion-based... so there's no need to criticize each other.

@susmitds That's a pretty interesting theorycraft. Did you actually complete vMA or tank vTrials on it?Edited by Savos_Saren on December 19, 2016 7:35PMWant to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.
