Stam DK or Mag DK for PvE?

Ohhgrizyyy · December 2018

Which pulls overall better numbers right now? Reason I ask is cause I mainly PvE but I like to have a PvE character or 2 and I'm gonna be race changing my current PvP Stam DK to Dark Elf for a PvP Mag DK and debating and now also debating race changing my PvE Stam DK to Mag and running that as well which would also require a race change cause I'm too lazy to have to level another character or more or less too lazy to farm mages guild.

magdk is better overall.

If you are looking to complete end game trials, I would go with stam dk. Without a doubt pushes better numbers, whereas magicka is looked at as a "waste of a melee dps slot". That said, if you look to complete vcr or vas be prepared to roll a night blade or other ranged caster to add to your character slots. I used to main a magdk but with the recent trials favouring ranged magicka dps I had to give her up if I wanted to offer the most to my team.

If you are simply looking to run dungeons or pledges or other overland content either is more than competitive. Magdk is still extremely good and can offer several utilities to the team that stamdk can't and the numbers are still very close.

I like mdk. I find it much easier to stay alive

StamDK still pulls better numbers and magDK is still melee in light armor.
