Imperial is the P2W race its passives are amazing compared to nord.

Magicka?? -based 2H? Are you planning on using any 2H abilities at all ?

I wouldn't think so, why?

ah, someone else shares in my theorycrafting ideas for 2H magicka DK. I'm trying to figure all the gear out right now.

And yea, nords are not nearly as good as basically anything else

None of these. Learn basic game mechanics. Hybrid builds are basically useless and it sounds like u wanna play a Magicka character, but 2H'er is not a Magicka-based weapon and neither of the 2 races mentioned have any Magicka bonuses.

Of course if you're a roleplayer and don't care about performance at all, then just choose and do whatever you enjoy the most. But then just accept u'll get rekt 99% of the time in PvP.

Broaden your mind. Doesn't necessarily need to be an actual hybrid build if they're using it for the gap closer. Magicka DKs have to get it from one of two places, one is more defensive, one is more offensive.

Why do you think imperial race is extrapaid?

Imperial gets max health and max stamina. Also health restored on hit.
Nord gets health regeneration, max health and cold resistance. Also reduced damage taken.
The weapon experience doesn't really matter, we assume you're maxed out in pvp.

My take on this is that the imperial will survive if out of nowhere a giant demon eating dragon comes out and tries to one shot you.
The nord on the other hand will be more resilient in longer fights, which is what you need in pvp. The fights will be relentless and it doesn't matter how much health you have as long as your recovery is top notch. You'll regen more health than imperials will gain on hit. Also there's that cold resistance to protect you from those pesky mages that want to slow you down or freeze you. You'll be a walking tanking war machine, regardless of weapon.
The imperial loses in the regen department, but gains in the stamina department.
So if you want stamina, go with the old imperium. If you want to fight 24/7 hacking, slashing and bashing, then go nord!

Edit: with a nord dragonknight you can make a build so focused on regen that you'll be the envy of all healers. Just put some dots on them enemies and regen faster than they damage you.

I'd say nord. All their passives are pretty useful as opposed to Imperial which only has 2. you said you where going magicka, so i assume you won't be using many melee attacks to make use of the red diamond passive and no one really cares about the weapon passive.

Both are pretty decent tho. Imperial has that nice increase to stamina which is also important in PvP due to all the CC.

All the stuff about Argonians being the worst.. Nords are damn close to worse. If not worse. Unlike Argonian nords got nothing special about them. Nothing. Argonians you can atleast say "swiming speed" or "lizard looks" Nords are just a human with bad stats. Never pick Nord ever.

Honestly, I am working on a Hybrid build. I've field tested it in Non-Vet PvP and it does surprisingly well. Once I do a few more tests, I'll post the build. It's for a Templar, though.


Why? Cause I love challenges and want to be one of the first ones to build a character in a way that people say is "basically useless" and have it perform well.

That goes for the "useless" class, Templar.

hmm, I've considered a 2h templar with punct strikes as spammable, but I cannot figure out the atributes, neither the gear.
