Quick Nightblade combat question

This is for those with more knowledge/experience than me. I play on the console so I don't have access to addons to make my new character have level 50 skills like some of the videos out there on popular build sites, so I will be starting from scratch. I am looking to create a new magicka based NB. I plan on doing a little PvP, mostly PvE with a few dungeon runs here and there. I don't have access to Imperial race. I'm trying to decide if it's better to have more magicka(Breton) or to be able to regenerate magicka quicker(Altmer). Any thoughts?

    This has to be the longest I've ever gone without a reply--seems like whenever I mention addons, people get awfully quiet. Makes me wonder if there's something more going on....

    Breton and Altmer are both very solid choices for a Magicka NB. My personal preference is Breton because I find the spell cost reduction and spell resistance they get slightly more worthwhile than magicka recovery and the elemental talent that I'm not going to use anyways.

    Dunmer is also a good choice if you go vampire or want 6% more stamina at the cost of 1% magicka.

    Bretons are great and look good doing it.

    I prefer the Breton for my Mag NB. I use both dest and rest staffs. Most people seem to recommend staff of your choice plus DW. I go with 7 pieces of light armor because I'm primarily solo PvE and don't do undaunted where there's a benefit of 5+1+1.

    Strife and one of its morphs should be your mainstay spam attack.

    My main is a Stamblade--using bow and DW--favorite archetype to play for me. But wanted to give magicblade a chance too; seeing as I don't really care for the sorcerer or templar class, I've got a DK that tanks and handles DPS for me as well.
