My first DK, build/character help

KozawahGaming · October 2015

Hello everyone, I'm gonna be starting my first DK and I have some questions.

I'm going to want a Heavy Armor, Sword and Shield, Magicka build. Is that a viable thing? I picked High Elf as I don't have any race-any alliance, and I was looking to make based around more Magicka then Stamina; I also thought that the Passives of the High Elf would make it useful as a Magicka DPS DK (spell regen, and extra fire damage) any one able to offer some advice?

Heavy armour is for tank builds.

IMO Dunmer/Dark Elf are a very good choice for DKs, Altmer is arguably better for Sorcs.

From the sounds of your post, you are touching upon a tank build, with Sword and Shield etc, and most of the skills for DK are magicka based with some stamina morphs.

Try 5 Light/1Heavy/1 Medium to build up the skills, then when you hit end game you can sort out a proper build, plus take advantage of Undaunted passives.

You got plenty of time to play around with skills/attributes and build ideas for a good while till you hit Vr1, then you can focus on specific builds from then on.

You may change your mind.
