Introduction

Welcome to the Magicka Dragonknight Build PvP “Flamebreaker” for Elder Scrolls Online. Make sure to bookmark the link as I will keep updating the build for each new Update of ESO. The “Flamebreaker” Build is optimized for Cyrodiil and Battlegrounds, you can find both setups on this page, only small adjustments are needed!

This Magicka Dragonknight PvP Build focuses on high burst damage and high max resources. Having a lot of Health in Cyrodiil is a good strategy to stay alive, because the incoming damage can be huge and that way you won’t instantly die when you get attacked. Magicka DKs have a lot of healing power, therefore going light armor is possible but you have to learn to keep up all your heal over time abilities.

• Cyrodiil & Battlegrounds
• Light Armor Destro/ Resto Build
• Crazy Burst Damage
• Good Sustain
• Good Healing

Resource Management

With this build, a lot of sustain is already built in thanks to the Bright-Throat’s Boast set in combination with the Double Bloody Mara Drink. Dragonknights also have unique passives like the Battle Roar, that help a lot with sustain whenever you activate an ultimate. You can also do heavy attacks on the Resto Staff bar to regain a lot of magicka at once thanks to the Cycle of Life passive.

Potions are a very important aspect of every build, with our recommended Potions you will restore 7582 Magicka and Stamina on top of 8369 Health. This is very important and will increase your survivability and sustain a lot.

• Battle Roar
• Heavy Attacks
• Potion

If you still struggle with sustain, you could always replace the Spell Damage Glyph on the Infused Jewelry piece with a Spell Cost Reduction Glyph.
