Hey guys i need some help with my magdk, i have tried different setups but I still can't feel comfortable in cyrodil.I have gone from shackle/sun to shackle/alteration now.I run 5heavy2light
Use the UESP build editor to calculate your block cost using sturdy traits and block cost reduction glyphs and even slotted skills. To really permablock, you need like 15k stam and a block cost of about ~500 or lower. However... if you are really invested to that extent, don't expect to kill anyone.How am I going to permablock running witchmothers?Should I run tristat instead?
Depends on goals.What glyphs should I run on jewelry?
IMO, unless you are a dedicated tank right now the answer is no.Is heavy better than light?
What is bis right now for magdk?I main a magsorc and have never played another character so I never played around with these sets.
I almost always run solo or duo.

Define "not comfortable." Are you having problems with damage? Sustain? Survivability?Use the UESP build editor to calculate your block cost using sturdy traits and block cost reduction glyphs and even slotted skills.

It is much, much hard to kill on mag DK than mag sorc. If you get the drop on someone you have a better chance, but unlike sorc it's very hard to turn a situation where you are on the defense around to offense and be able to kill quickly.
Without a doubt Dunmer is BiS race for a non-tank, and vamp is virtually required. But there are a number of viable setups. Skoria and Bloodspawn and favorites for good reason. Sun, Burning Spellweave, Shacklebreaker, Desert Rose and Impregnable are all good sets. Even Rattlecage, Wyrd Tree and other less-used sets are potentially viable. People use dual S&B or back bar destro or resto or even dual wield on bar. You are going to have to find what works for you. The only setup I would strongly recommend against is destro/restro or destro/destro -- you need a defense bar.
I would shoot for a 10k whip tooltip with 8k+ penetration, at least 30% crit, 25k resists... and don't permablock.
Surviviabilty mostly, I am way more tanker on my sorc lol were I can hold up against 5 guys, on my mag dk not against one good player even running 27k resistances.
My goal si tu run solo or duo successfully, surviving and being able to kill timing burst.
Yes I feel it is much hard to kill on magic but I also feel im killed much easier, that is why I feel disappointed.Im on a dark elf and run double s/b
