I am simply trying to avoid using a staff for pvp and pve, I saw this video for pvp and it looks really fun to play.

    For PvE, a Staff is a "must have" weapon

    For PvP, not that much. I'm currently rolling a Heavy Armor Sword&Board + Resto Staff build

    Absolutely. Always preferred a playstyle that's up close and personal. I run SnB on both bars and the occasional SnB / DW For PVP and PVE.

    Melee magicka dk will test your limits and over time, mould you into a better player as it tends to be more challenging to master when compared to other classes. Good luck and have fun.

    With the dodge roll and shuffle Stam users in pvp I find useing a fire or frost staff very hard. I like sword and shield on both bars when solo if I'm doing 2-4 man pvp then I put a destro staff on my back bar but for the ult only.

    When u play sword and shield you play with sturdy impen or full sturdy and points in cp to reduce the cost of block that way u can block cast feel more tanky and still dish out damage.

    For PVP it's often better to use either S&B or DW even on a Magicka DK. In PVE solo content you could make it work, but for group content you'll want to use a Staff for Elemental Wall, and Heavy Attacks for resource gain if nothing else.

    you could level using a sword and board. Not sure why anyone in their right mind would.... But yeah.

    I do all the time. Just have a back bar destro or resto to pull mobs and then just swap to snb and just spam burning talons and engulfing flame. It's quite easy
