Magicka DK Advice

So I want to play as a pure Magicka DK but I've been having some trouble with my survivability. Anyone have any advice for a solid Magicka DK build? Oh and I prefer to PvP.

✭Kagrenacs x5 and Torugs Pact x3 or x4 depending on your weapon bars is a good set up for beginner MagDK. You can also throw a health regeneration enchant on a ring or neck to help a little.Enemy to many

✭✭Sword and shield on at least one bar makes a huge difference for survivability (with some mix of impen and sturdy items). while blocking enemy attacks, use igneous shield or fossilize to get your stamina. Also go vampire for batswarm, magicka regen boost and dark stalker passive.0 -

✭Are there any viable Fire Mage archetype Magicka DK builds for PVP? I've been playing with 5 elegant and an Inferno staff, and then 5 Kags (impen) on 1H/Shield bar with a monster helm. Magicka DK doesn't seem to have a ton of ranged synergy with my powerful heavy attacks... I've been attempting to heavy weave with Force pulse, but anytime I get attacked I've forced into the more traditional tanky mDK playstyle.0 -

I was wanting more of a mage feel than sword and board."Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy. I will show you there are many fates worse than death."

You are gonna die hella fast unless your spam healing ward like alot of mag users. So your can run S+B on back bar and destro on front bar. Skills still apply. Or go 2 staves its all up to you. I prefer S+B0 -

Running similar build - 5 elegant, 5 clever alchemist, 2 malubeth. I don't use any destro staff abilities, though, just heavy attacks, which is helpful because my regen is crap. Sometimes lucky heavy attacks hit as high as 18k players / 36k NPCs.
I usually play solo, just set up somewhere to gank passing players with heavy attack from stealth. Main dps is heavy attacks, but if I get surrounded, have to switch to deep breath, batswarm etc. I keep absorb magicka on the bar for block cost reduction and using a mix of sturdy / impen.Edited by IcyDeadPeople on July 15, 2016 2:53AM1 -

Yup, that's kind of what I was thinking. Ofc, I'm less effective than I could be being a nord. I may switch to stamina with the race passive changes or race change to Dunmer or something.0 -

✭✭What is the base damage of a fully charged heavy attack with a fire staff for a Dunmer DK?"Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy. I will show you there are many fates worse than death."

That is somewhat an ambiguous question. It depends on level of the skill, level and quality of the weapon, and item sets you may be wearing.Enemy to many

Plus resistance of the target, whether it crits, how much impen they're wearing, etc.
The biggest downside of a heavy attack build is shuffle.0
