    1-50 is fast with all of the classes. Try both to level 10 by then you will know which you prefer.

    With both you normaly have no problems in all parts of the game.

    You just have to choose the playstyle you prefer...

    For magicka dps dks, dark elf is probably the best choice.

    The guide is pretty out of date and there are a few bad choices (by todays standards) in it.

    You don't have time to level both to 10 but you want to level to 50? There is no easiest class; it's all about the most fun to play for YOU. I play a Duner DK for instance, but I'm a stamina build( not a big fan of the light armor model). There really is no need for min/max in this game. Just try them out and see what play stile suits you more.

    if you do not consider other class go for dk,
    otherwise you may consider sorc or templar.
    anyway to be fine with the game you need to invest a bit of time watching video tutorial.
    this is a good starting point:

    Yes but as a DK what best build for easy solo gameplay (instead of doing your head in)

    All builds for DK are solo beasts.
    -sword and board magicka
    -destruction staff magicka
    -sword and board stamina
    -2h stamina
    -DW stamina
    -bow stamina
    -even restoration staff magkica is viable

    Any combination of stam/stam weapons or magicka/magicka works well. I'm using 2h and DW and topping dps for my level.

    Googled "fire staff dk build" and this is the first link man. http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Dragonknight+Destruction+Staff+Survivable+DPS+Build

    I can appreciate you asking for help on the forums, but try and do a little searching on your own sometime. It will definitely help prevent the inevitable flames that will come your way. Enjoy your DK.

    Come on man... you are making it hard to help you. Substitute the sword and board for another staff and slot staff/mage guild abilities then. There is no best character. The sooner you realize that, the more fun you are going to have.: Just play the game. Even the gear you have won't matter until veteran ranks. I highly suggest you stop beating the dead horse. My fun meter is pegged and I won't be offering any more advice. Good luck.

    bar 1 survivability
    - ultimate: magma shell
    - green dragon blood

    - elemental ring

    bar 2
    - ultimate: standard of might
    - elemental drain or molten armaments
    - lava wip

    Since you seem troubled at a pretty low level, here a piece of advice.
    Till somewhere around level 15-25, destro staff is the hardest weapon to go with. And well, of course it is also the hardest weapon to start with.

    Why? You don't have much magicka, and utilizing both magicka and stamina at the beginning is very helpful. So using stamina weapons to get some useful stam skills and combining them with utility-damage magicka skills from your class trees is the easiest way to start.

    And once you switch to destro staff, if still at low level, you can use the first skill of the warriors guild to not put your stamina pool to waste.
