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%.

Because math.

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 .

Dark elf is best but high elf is good with recovery
Still always will go dark elf before a high elf

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

Argonian.

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.
