Anyone else with good mag DK setups or opinions on the current state of mag DK?

Love the double destro build, they’re usually sooo squishy though. Obviously your not tanking but do you find it’s still DKish taking damage?

Harness Magicka works for a lot of my damage mitigation. But the healing from the claws, dragonblood and cauterize are what really make this build thrive. The trick is to claw as many enemies as possible at the opening of a fight, and then weave in claw to get heals as needed. And Petrify is a quick way to lock someone down if you are being pressured. Most of my damage mitigation ends up coming from healing or avoiding damage altogether.
And, when I get pressured, I flip bars, pop harness and heal up while kiting enemies to a more favorable position. Wings keeps most of the ranged damage off. And then it's turning around, petrifing and unloading damage on a target.

I'm going to try running your build tonight and hopefully get some clips.
Also, you mentioned not liking s/b in heavy - I agree. Running s/b with light armor though tends to be a great middle ground.

Mag DK is still an amazing PVP class, change my mind.
My new light arm build is hitting very hard IMO. 5L/1M/1H Shacklebreaker, Burning Spellweave, Bloodspawn (Sword & Board/Resto). I've also been running flame staff + skorias and the burst has me feeling like a sorc.
Clip below is first S&B setup, sustain is bad because I'm using garbage Cyrodil food:

Some people never tell truth in forum. Use ELf bane heavy armor. Its specifically for DKs. Instead of blood spawn use grothkar.
Grothkar+ Elfbane + burning spell weave. Have major scovery , Wings up, all the time + CC immunity from heavy armor. Fossilze + flame lash. ..... until target dies. Elfbane + flame lash itself deadly combination. Barely you need a heal. Dont forget to get penentration somewhere. or use sharepened. You are good to go. If dunmer be a vampire. No magicka class can stand before you on 1v1.

Elf bane's 5 piece bonus doesn't affect flame lash at all because it isn't a DOT. It would add time to embers, engulfing flames, and standard, but since whip is a direct damage spammable, Elf bane will have no effect on it. Personally, I prefer light armor because it adds spell penetration, cost reduction, and mag recovey which all add up to higher damage and more sustain.
But you have far less damage mitigation in light armor as everyone knows, leaving you a bit more 'glass-cannon-y' which some people don't like. At the end of the day, do what makes you comfortable and works for you.

Elf bane only impact after components after damage which has duration attached to it. Also its strengthen burning status effect. FYI Whip has an after effect component , which you need proc it.
Well that's coming from you lol.Priyasekarssk wrote: »Mag DK is still an amazing PVP class, change my mind.
