Mystic Knight

I'm trying to make a Mystic Knight type of character, and I can't decide on which class would be ideal, so does anyone have any suggestions? The race is Breton, because a Mystic knight is always more of a defensive fighter, and a Breton is more along the lines of that in terms of racials. I'm looking for a defensive type of class that can buff his weapons with magic skills or something like that.
Oh also, NB is out of the question. He's a Knight, not a rogue.

    Doesn't that just leave you with Templar or Dragonknight?

    welcome. first off, in ESO everyone is using magic. does not really matter if you use stamina or magicka to fuel your skills/spells.

    You can do it with all classes imho.

    Sorcerer: Armor buff(s), Weapon/spell damage buff with Heal on Crit, good sustain etc... Can go stamina or magicka (lightning themed basically)

    Dragonknight: armor buff, weapon/damage buff (for group), close range fire damage spells single target and AoE, good damage based self heals (embers, flame lash, Inhale)... (fire or poison based theme).

    Templar: well, think of a Paladin or Cleric. Holy/Magic damage, strong heals for group too if you go the magicka route

    Warden: very versatile for both magicka and stamina. you can use a pet (bear companion), can buff armor/resists, do cold damage (and magic damage mostly). also has some nice graphical effects (like angel-wings of ice).

    You said no Nightblade, but you can also play this as a magickal knight/tank type, but with a more poison/disease/magicka type (more like a Reaver or Shadow Knight from other games).

    choices... ;-)

    I have all classes and play various roles with them (tank, dd, healer, stamina / magicka whatever). I wish there was a 1-handed magicka based weapon you could pair with a shield, because as a heavy armor magicka user you cannot refill your magicka with heavy attacks unless you equip a staff (ice staff tanking is a thing, but does not fit well for a dragonknight for instance, I rather use fire/lightning).

    you cannot change classes at the moment, but you can respec race, attributes and skills, so just try out what appeals the most to you.

    Stop the grind! Get rid of stupid events and daily-quest gallore. Get rid of "have a chance of 1 in a million to get a piece of 1 in 30 to get a stupid motif or pet... wtf..."
    And at this point just remove all classes and have everyone choose their set of skills. then balance accordingly to skills always used vs. skills never used.
