LF Heavy armor magicka dragonknight pvp build

devilsTear · April 2016

Hey guys, does anyone know an up to date heavy armor magicka dragonknight pvp build? I've got a v16 imperial that I want to improve a little bit.

I've been messing with a few different heavy armor combos but none has worked the way I wanted.

5 Elfs Bane, 2 Skoria, 5 VD

4 Elfs Bane, 5 Kagernac, 3 Willpower

I can't seem to find a combo I like that I can drop the rest staff though.

Is kagrenacs better than julianos?
Atm I'm running
2p skoria
2p Torug's Pact ( s&b + destro or resto)
5p julianos
3p will power

In pvp you can't crit against shields so I find it mostly a wasted bonus against anyone running shields.

Mhh I didn't know that lol, Ill look into that set then.

magDK is not the best, but it's really fun but can be hard to play, give it a chance and you will love it more then any other class

i am using
5heavy 1light 1stam(and level up your Undaunted skill tree for passives)
2 blood spawn(because we need ultimate, maybe you can try skoria,not tried it by myself)
5 kagrenacs
3 willpower
1h+shield torugs pact, you can run it on both bars or use resto staff on second

abilities:

for 1v1 i am running
Burning embers
Flame lash
Deep Breath
Dragon fire scale
Fossilize (use it right after you use meteor,with good timing,target can't cc break and block in time and get's full dmg from meteor)
U: meteor

secondbar
Proximity detonation
Entropy for spell dmg buff
free slot, sometimes i use Talons there, sometimes Harness Magicka against sorcerers, or fiery grip
Dragon blood or Blessing of restoration,depends if you are running 2x 1h+shield or resto staff
Volatile Armor
U: Dawnbreaker of Smithing because it really hurts vampires and i love this ultimate,you should try it

if you are playing in group against groups, put Talons on first bar instead of burning embers and Igneous Shield on second bar

Yeah I tried all classes but I like dragonknights the most

I don't have bloodspawn yet but I'll keep that set in mind, I only have skoria, engine guardian, maw of the infernal and Bogdans.

Thanks for your skill set but how would you rate mine?

Bar 1 s&b
Invasion - gap closer
Burning talons - root ( I'll probably change this to choking because players break free before the dot can tick although it can proc skoria)
Flame lash - spam + self heal
Volatile armor - armor + dot for skoria
Deep breath - heal + dot for skoria
Ult - ice comet

Bar 2 in group resto
Structured entropy - heal + buffs
Healing ward - heals + bubble
Grand healing Springs - heal + magicka regen
Reflective scale - reflect
Rapid regeneration - HoT
Ult - warhorn

Bar 2 solo destro
Destructive reach - knock back
Fossilize - root + stun
Impulse - reduce player max health + spam
Reflective scale - reflect
Green Dragon Blood - heal + stam regen
Ult - dawnbreaker of smiting

I'm also thinking of going double s&b but I don't know if that would work as I don't have much ranged options then.

i don't think SaB + destro staff is good idea, also Invasion is not good as it used to be before Tamriel unlimited, we dont have that much stamina and you need stamina for blocking etc, also gap closers are bugged and not working most of the time in pvp

if you want, you can run destro + resto with light armor to make it really work, but DK really need a shield

put volatile and other buffs on second bar, try my bar, after few hours of playing you will realise what abilities you need and that you dont have time to switch to another bar, like me i really prefer to have reflect on main bar,also with fosilize so i can stun in time before my burst, DK needs good timing since we don't have that much dmg, our only chance is mostly meteor, so as i said, buff up, deal some dmg, meteor and stun right after and there we go, target is dead.

Check out Skaffa or vyr cor on YouTube. Just search for "ESO Skaffa" or "ESO corgaming". Watch not just the build, but how they use it. When to retreat, when to attack, when to heal, when to use ultimate, etc.
