I've heard its better to go full magicka, so is it worth removin any attributes from stamina completey?

Thanks for any help offered

Been a while since I played it, but as a mag dk tank that I mained, I put everything into magicka attributes since you can use it for personal and team buffs, damage shield, heals and so on. If you need more health or stamina for blocking, you can get those through trifood, stamina enchantments, gear sets and so on. The mundus stones are also a nice to swap between if you think you need a little bit more of something since they're free anyways.
With more magicka you can also spam igneous shield if need be to gain more stamina from the passive from that ability skill line.

Fazed that link doesnt work bud! But that my confusion I dont really know what i am at the minute im kind of a tank/damage magicka build I'm not running into many problems yet but i might do further on down the road

I'll respec my build to release all stamina and put a bit more into the magicka from the health side also. I've been trying igneous shield recently and i like it.

Fazed provided the answer i was going to - hybrid (dual role) doesnt do well in ESO, unless you only want to Solo (still doesnt do well, but it is more bearable). Soloing, which is the soul-shriven main quest and most guild quests, will allow a certain amount of hybrid, since you only really need to deal about 8-10k dps to get throuugh it all (provided you have some self heals).

I first ran my darkelf (dunmer) DK as a Tank, and he was pretty good - but Tanks do very little dps (for example, 3k dps is about normal for a dedicated Tank). Since i wanted to explore and run some quests with him, i converted him to DPS (primarily controlled by CPs & Gear), and i havent looked back since - he's the first DPS that ive gotten over 25k dps (unbuffed).

So, the proper websites are:
https://alcasthq.com/eso-magicka-dragonknight-build-pve/
https://alcasthq.com/eso-stamina-dragonknight-tank-build-pve/

Alcast is good to start from, but dont worry if you cant do big dps to start - that takes lots of CPs, Skill Points, and training (watch Alcast Youtube videos for training examples). On my starter toons, 12-15k dps is about normal until i get enough skill points and settle in to a good rotation that works for me (which is most important - whatever works for You is what's best)

Have fun.

The main reason hybrid builds don't work in ESO, is because your abilities deal damage or heal based off of your maximum amount of resources.

For example, take the Nightblade ability "Surprise Attack"--it requires Stamina to use. The more Stamina you have, the more damage it deals.

If you want to see the difference in damage that this makes, it's quite easy to do so. Take your main damage ability (the one you spam the most in your rotation), and note the damage it deals via the tooltip. Now, eat a buff food that increases your main attribute.. then look at the tooltip again.

For questing and such, the impact of this isn't that great; but for even Veteran Dungeons, it's enough of an impact that it will make you really want to focus on a solidified build.. because at the point of being hybrid, even Veteran Dungeon trash mobs will last longer than you in a 1v1 situation, and likely kill you due to your sheer lack of damage against them.

That being said, as others have stated, Alcast has a wide variety of builds across the board, both for the min/maxers and the more casual folks. For instance, 2H weapons are very far behind Dual Wield (sadly) in terms of competitive DPS, but they're still really fun to play. He has 2H builds available for all classes, as far as I know.

I believe the Warden 2H build is about 20k DPS behind the Warden DW/Bow build, as a reference.

Thank you very much for all your help DargonBlak! I will definately be following the dk magicka path as I've kinda felt I'm doing okay but needed a little pointing in the right direction to where i was heading! I've bookmarked the links for further reading as there's a lot to it!
