Many magicka DK's run both heavy armor and vampire in PVP.

Armor weight has shifted slightly with the morrowind update making running light a little more viable, but I am guessing heavy is still the winner in terms of how many DKs are using it.

Many DK's also use vampire, specifically for mist form, so they have some mobility.

You probably wont be using fighters guild active abilities much, but a few of it's passives which do extra damage to daedra and werewolves and such? Get those.
Mages guild? Level that all the way to 10 for the ultimate.

Hi! I've started playing just a couple of days ago, so the question is really noob one

I'm currently playing as a magicka DK in heavy armour and with fire staff and enjoying it a lot, and I'm also planning to become a vampire. However having read a couple of late-game PvP guides I noticed that people usually recommend to stick to light armour and there are no mentions of vampire abilities. So my question is whether there are any viable PvP builds for DKs in my configuration, or I should better start changing playing style?

I also wonder if there are any useful skills in Fighters and Mages Guilds, so that I could start learning them throughout the levelling?

Thank you for replies in advance!

Yes heavy armor and fire staff is pretty popular for magicka DKs in PVP, and about 99% of them are also vampires. The most common builds like this are using sword and shield on the back bar and something like one damage set (BSW, Sun, Julianos) combined with one sustain set (Seducer, Kagrenacs, Black Rose, Desert Rose).

Personally I like light armor, but it is somewhat rare these days for mDKs in PVP. Even after Morrowind patch, heavy armor is still by far the most common choice for anyone in PVP who is not mag sorc or ganker. One reason so many mDKs are vampires is because we lack mobility and large shields, so Elusive Mist and Undeath passive give us a little more mobility and a means of escaping when overwhelmed by enemies.

Everyone should be maxing out both Fighters Guild and Mages Guild. As magicka DK you especially want access to the Might of the Guild passive, meteor, degeneration/entropy, inner light, FG passives etc.

My magicka DK has all heavy armor. I craft my own armor, though, so I craft it in a set that boosts her magicka, and I use magic enchantments on it.
Here's some info on crafted sets. You have to dedicate a lot of time to building up your crafting skills to be able to do it, though, so it will take time.

Banish the wicked fighters guild passive is boss. Gain 3/6/9 ultimate for every daedra and undead you kill. You can rack up ultimate fast in many dungeons this way.
