Please help turn my Magknight into something better. Ok, I KNOW a lot of people don't like the class and/or feels it underperforms. I mostly PvP on Azura (no CP bonuses) and I've had quite a bit of success. But I've never really played a magknight before so now that I'm nearing lvl 50, I'm interested on how I should progress gear-wise. I find that I can be quite tanky and yet I can use some nice CC and deal some consistent damage (especially once opponents have burned up their resource pools)

Some background info on my character:

Dunmer + vampire
All 3 class skill lines nearly maxed and morphs have focused on damage and fire (rather than acid (I want people to BURN))
DW + 1H+S
Have maxed heavy armour and also levelled light armour although still have some way to go with this.

I'm currently running:
4 pieces of Julianos: Head, Shoulder + DW swords or Sword/Shield (not too bothered about losing out on the 5 piece bonus - I've also done it this way in case I ever manage to get hold of helm/shoulder of Skoria - not sure what type to go for though? Heavy or light?)
5 pieces of Seducer: Chest, Gloves, Belt, Breeches, Boots
3 pieces of random jewellry

I have willpower jewellry ready to use.

I can make up to 8 trait heavy armour (2 months roughly until 9 traited) if it's needed
I can make 9 trait light armour if it's needed

I have heard a lot of positive things about 2 pieces of Skoria - except I don't have 2 pieces of Skoria. In fact, I've only ever ran one pledge and completely fluked it - impen Molag Kena Shoulder.

So yep, thats about it. If anyone could help that would be ace, cheers.

    I cannot lie - I've really enjoyed playing it even if it doesn't have the same punch as the stam classes. It would be nice to get it the best I can for when ZoS eventually decides to spread the magicka love :D

    I honestly can't point you in a direction that I know to work because I play in CP campaigns. I have always heard resource management is king in non CP campaigns? I still see a heavy Kags and silks set being king.

    For non cp I think seducer and anything with lots of magicka return is best for a HA mDK. Perhaps 5 seducer, 3 willpower with 2 reduce cost and 1 regen enchant, 2 bloodspawn/ engine guardian and 2 turogs for the spelldamage. Tri enchants are probably good on your gear.

    I'll try that, thanks Malakith :)

    I never played non cp after cp was added, so it's just a suggestion! If you're on pc EU you can add me to test it, I'll craft you a set :wink:

    Ah, btw.

    If you got to much substain with this set up you could use skoria or out some spell power enchants on your rings and see how that goes. Put maim on them with the last bash skill of sword and shield so they got trouble healing with all the damage over time on them. Fire breath I creases fire damage on them and talons and petrify fill drain their stamina :)

    5 seducer. 4 magnus. 3 willpower.
    Try to get around 2k regen. Use defending sword on your 1h shield bar. Go 4 sturdy 4 impenetrable. Restoration staff on back, powered.

    Skoria is very good for Pve but bot that important for pvp IMO. Seems like you've got all the right tools to do it.
