    For PvP, I would say Dark Elf.

    For PvE, Normally, I would say Dark Elf but with all the discussion of heavy attack builds with lightning staff, High Elf may be better.

    Pretty much your go-to magicka classes for DPS are Dunmer, Altmer & Breton.

    For a magicka dragonknight DPS, the obvious choice is dunmer, for the racial passives of flame damage.

    Dunmer is the best choice to go. DK are not reliant on high regents so after the Morrowing sustain nerfs and DK passive nerfs you should be just fine if you stack a lot of spell damage and not that much magicka.

    This is what I'd say, too. I play a Breton DK, and she's awesome. I would have chosen Dunmer, though, except that I can't stand the way they look when I make them. For some reason, when I try to make female Dunmer, they all end up having creepy fat man-faces.

    Argonian for dedicated mag DK tanks.

    But otherwise: dunmer or altmer. Breton may the best choice next patch.

    Ill take my extra 7% max mag and 6% more mag regen over 3% more fire damage, small amount of stam regen that doesnt help if your blocking and some fire resistance.

    Not to mention if you ever did run lighting or frost you still get 4% more damage with them.

    Dunmer has greater bonus to fire damage. mDK skills are fire based. I think Dunmer is good choice because of this.
    Altmer has better sustain, but also lower damage on fire damage. On the other hand, the faster you kill, the less sustain you need. So it's one of these questions like what is older, chicken or the egg, I guess.

    Lmfao Cut the BS? Im not BSing. Mag DK do not have Burst. We do not have an execute. The only thing remotely close to that we have is a ult + fossilize combo which if they heal or troll king then u have to start over and guess what you have to be able to sustain till your next ult.

    So what is your suggestion? To delete our class? Or you say Dunmer is not a valid pick? But thank you for information, I haven't noticed we didn't have execute at all these past years.

    LMFAO what are you talking about? When did i say delete the class or Dunmer is not a vaild pick. DKs are a DOT Based Class Plain and simple. I simply said I run as a high elf and do just fine. You are crazy buddy.

    Ok. I might be crazy, but do you deny Dunmer can kill faster than Altmer?
  • Drishtan
    Drishtan

    Yes. Max Mag can make an ult and skill hit harder than the extra 3% damage. Also with higher max mag ur mag recovery passively increases as well as you have more magic to cast more spells to kill something faster.

    1% more max mag isnt gonna make up for that extra 3% fire dmg. Meteor, leap, standard, destro ult. All are fire dmg. Dunmer will hit harder. There is no denying that a dunmer will give you more dmg but in PVP the difference is so small to the point that is irrelevant. The difference between altmer and dunmer in PVP isnt the dmg but more stamina + fire resistance vs more regen.
