    Dark elf for his flame damage and fire resistance
    I play magicka DK as a vampire , so the dark elf fits most in it with 5L / 1M / 1H for the heavy armour health regen passive and max health + undaunted passives
    I really enjoy playing this combination ;)

    I voted Dark elf because i run one and love the 7 percent fire bonus but i would have no problem doing a high elf as well, for the 3 percent damage passives in magic/fire/shock/cold I believe it is. plus the Magic Regen passive.

    I really don't think this one is up for much debate. The only other race worth considering is Altemr. The 3% extra fire damage from Dunmers trumps the 4% extra magic from Altmers. All you do as a magic DK is fire damage, so the fire damage buff wins. The real thing you are giving up is the 9% regen from altmers, but sustain is just not that much of an issue. At most 9% regen amounts to like 80 extra magic recovery in PvE, and maybe 200 in PVP if you really stack regen.

    Um, Dunmer have 9% extra max magicka. It's split into two racial passives, though, granting 6% and 3%. So the max magicka advantage of Altmer is only 1%, not 4%.

    I leveled 2 mag dks one high elf one dark elf. I use to like the high elf when fights use to be longer for sustain so I run the high elf for vIC and vWGT. But for short fights the dark elf beats out dps wise. Not by much cause Hugh elf gets 6% buff to all element damage oppose to the extra 8% damage buff of fire for dark elf. I normally run my high elf most of time cause I just hate the way dark elves look plus 30k single target dps is good enough. So what if I lose 1k ish dps.

    I choose for dunmer/darkelf, they have the most damage output with fire abillities and dragon knight is mostly based on fire damage.
    The dunmer works the best with a good healer that provides you with elemental drain, siphoning spirit and orbs.

    Highelf is pretty good too almost as good as damage as a dunmer and it has 1% max magicka more and increases your magicka regeneration by a lot.

    So if we hone in on Ardent Flame and magicka bonuses here -

    Dunmer = 7% more fire damage, 9% more max magicka.

    Altmer = 4% more fire damage, 10% more max magicka, and 9% more magicka regeneration.

    So I guess it depends, do you plan on using a lot of Ardent Flame and could use that bonus damage? Or do you want more sustain and max magicka (which also increases your spell damage)? Whether you're a DPS, Tank or Healer could alter which race is best too.

    Most people I know go with Dunmer, but I have an Altmer Dragonknight so I'll have to vote that way :).

    Altmers are ugly and Bretons are boring.
    Dark elves are cool and are the masters of Tamriel.

    Definitely best race when it comes to roaming around with 50k+ health in duo/trio, while spawning a bunch of Blood Altar, also, the only REAL way to run a mag DK.
