Dragonknight - A few questions from the novice player

Nedar

Hi, i am a beginner player and i have a few questions about Dragonknight build.I want to use a two-handed sword + alternatievely bow, so stamina build is the best, right? Redguard, dragonknight stamina, two handed sword + bow, medium armor is it a good build for pvp and pve? i red also about Dunmer (one of my favourite race) Dragonknight magicka, but i red that build should use magic staff, i want use weapon like sword so i decided to play stamina build.

Correct, stamina is your best choice with a Redguard, two hander and bow. Dunmer has stamina bonuses, so while its slightly better for magicka, it should be fine for stamina if slightly less optimal than Redguard.

Two hander is good in PVP and overland questing, dual wield is preferred for PVE DPS in group content. Medium armor is great for damage dealer, but if you find yourself to be too squishy in PVP, many stam builds will wear heavy armor in PVP for survivability.

Gist is, your build looks like it should work fine, though you can make adjustments for better performance depending on what content you want to run.

Yes, your information game so far is on point. Redguard is hands down the best race for damage based stamina dragon knight.


You can make a 2h/bow build for PvE and it will work fine, as for PvP medium armor Dk is hard to get used to, and bow is even harder. I'm not saying it won't work. It just will be more difficult , as you will have no room to make mistakes unlike the heavy armor Sword and Board builds.


As for abilities and sets to consider using, PvE and PvP have very different rule sets, so your build in both game modes will be almost completely different.

So i should use heavy armor? Sword + shield will be better than 2 handed sword?

for PvP heavy armor 2h- SnB , is the meta right now for stamina Dk. You can go out of meta, but getting some experience will help you along the way.
