Veg✭✭✭✭✭Honestly that build is lacking damage. Use crimson over defending warrior if you are going for procs but expect both of those sets to do very little damage on Tuesday.
As for the skills...- you are using Draw essence instead of deep breath when the latter does more damage. I'd say get deep breath on there or drop the skill as it costs 4k magic and does about half as much damage as the other time delayed AoE burst abilities (shalk and blast bones).
- You have both pulsar and talons slotted. you only need talons (your lighting staff makes it do lightning damage btw, its not flame pulsar)
- Use leap instead of standard of might. MagDK has to rely on leap as its only source of burst damage

I think you're going for something like this? That clip is as good as it can possibly get at the moment. MagDK doesnt excel at AoE damage right now unfortunately.Edited by Veg on May 30, 2021 6:24PMᕙ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ᕗ3 -
LightYagami✭✭✭✭✭Additional comments on DK standards in PvP...
If you really want to use standard in PvP, use the shifting standard. Don't use standard of might.
Usually your enemies will move around in PvP, they're not NPCs and won't stay in the AOE over a long time.
Standard of might is very good in PvE but not so good in PvP. Occasionally it may help a bit when capturing flags bit it's not flexible most the time.No improvement on Cyrodill servers -> no ESO plus renewal.1
