Dunmer Range DPS Best Class?

Lord_Eomer · September 2016

Dunmer 7% Fire damage buff works excellent with Dragon Knight Class but you have to be close to the target in order to do damage. I already have Breton (NB, Sorcerer & Healer), Altmer (Sorcerer) and Argonian (NB and Healer)

Am i suppose to do Melee Damage? common its a Magicka Build. Probably they are excellent magicka tanks (but stamina tanks always works best due to Block costing Stamina)

I am not happy with my MDK because every time I have to close (in Trials, PVP) to my target to do good DPS / take advantage of DK Adrent Flame Skills, unlike Mage NB, Sorcerers and Templar do excellent DPS from range.

I am going to roll Dunmer Templar or Mage NB, I am not sure if Dunmer Fire 7% damage will buff Dawn's Wrath Skills or not?

As a Mage NB, I can see only taking Fire buff with Destro (never like force shock as DPS spam) & Shooting Star that I am already using on my DK. Any opinion experts?

MagDK arent 100% melee though. I consider them "mid ranged". Lava whip and engulfing flames have a bit of range to them which is enough to still stay out of the radius of a lot of bosses pbAOE but not too far.

You would be best off using heavy armor as a magicka dk atm. And use black rose set.

Yea Dunmer and Altmer are the best DPS magicka races. Altmer are more versatile though.

Light Armor Passives are unavoidable for Magicka DPS..

yes, always have to be very careful comparing Mage NB, Sorcerers or Templar...

As Stamina DPS, you always have Bow as an option and Snipe (My Khajit Hit normally 30k+) + Poisson Injection is amazingly good..

You are not taking advantage of Fire Damage Buff, 7% is pretty much huge as racial passive..

Altmer is very balanced Magicka Race comparing Breton or Dunmer...

Difference is 2% to an altmer on a few skills. Using meteor, force pulse, frags, and ward aegis on your front bar the difference is minor.

Only overload, LL, and fury are largely affected. But outside of a trial you won't see the difference to matter, plus they all use iinfernos too and woe where you want dunmer.

Plus it's the only ranged viable dps for a dunmer, dk is pathetic at range, whip is 7m and embers is in your face close (zos obviously have no clue how far 5m is, it should be the length of islands in round 3 vma) but as usual Americans mistook it for feet. Dunmer is epic for a DK but if you don't fancy being in the middle of a scrum then don't bother.
