Hello guys, I just came back and I'm still in time to reroll another character. I wanted to hear your suggestions about which class would be nice for an Argonian nowdays: Nightblade or Dragonknight?

I was thinking about tanking in PVE, but i also enjoy killing people in PvP both 1vs1 and in groups. Could you please help me?

    NB sap tank will be your best choise both for PvE and PvP.

    Been considering changing my altmer dk to an argonian for pvp. The passives just seem so suited and anything to boost dragonblood is good in my book, but every search I do comes up with nightblade.

    I was thinking about dragonood too, but I also found a lot of builds about nightblade. It seems more versatile, though.

    If i chose nightblade, wouldn't be repetitive to roll the same class class with a different weapon style with the khajiit? I mean doesn't get repetitive to have more of the same classes? Still undecided. Haha

    DK has burning embers and whip for self heal on DMG, coagulating blood which increases your healing received a 20% without the major vitality buff (through minor vitality and burning heart), igneous shield which increases your healing done a 25% (but for 6 seconds), and the battle road passive. And if you slot a resto staff, then even more healing done and received.

    But you are going to suffer on magicka and stamina unless you slot tripots

    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    I suppose i should try it out until lvl 15 and then decide. Both classes have some very good points

    NB sap tank really opens when you'll have sap essence and siphoning atacks. You can go with 1h&shield almost permablock, healing and damagin with one ability. You cannot feel it on lev 15.

    From my perspective both of the classes seem to be very good in PvP. I've been watching some videos, and I think the dk fits more my playstyle. I'll probably keep the Nightblade for my Khajiit on a second run.

    Stam DK is great but has no healing directly associated except for rally/vigor

    MagDK is just bad these days, unless you work it out to be a healer. Then it can be somewhat useful.

    Magicka Dk is actually pretty decent using silks of the sun. Can get consistent 6k flame lash hits non crit which is pretty high when adding in dots, cc, shooting star or bats. Don't count magicka Dk out just yet ;)

    I was planning to play a stamina based DK with sword and shield. I'd want a class able to do damage while with some sort of survaivality. I think it would feel strange to me hiding in shadows with a heavy armor. If I recall correctly, even the nightblade doesn't have any direct healing ability, am I right?

    Sigh.. if you are going to make your nb an argonian, a magicka sap tank is an incredible choice. Like every other class in the game, nbs have access to self healing.

    Black rose amberplasm 5H1L1M Is very solid right now.
