Here’s a quick build called: Yoloknight Solo Dragonstar Arena Build. I’m not going into crazy detail with this one as it’s just a base line, one off build. But I soloed to stage five of Dragonstar Arena and people asked for a quick run down so here it is.

Most awesome man, you are truly impressive!
You inspired me to start a Dunmer DK in DC on my 2nd account. So far it is a blast to play!
what best build for Heavy armor Imperial dragonknight 2H and Hand shield?
Best for what?
what best build for Heavy armor Imperial dragonknight 2H and Hand shield for PvP & PvE?
I would like to see a nice pvp sword and board/2hander Dk. im new and it all confuses me lol. maybe something with nice damage and survivability if thats even possible
Hey Deltia,
Which of your DK builds do you recommend for PVP group builds? I keep getting told I don’t have enough AoE.
Put Impulse on your bar, mine is for the leadership role and staying alive.
Thank you. I actually meant PVE. UGG! I hope you still meant impulse
Are you planning to make and update on DK tank build (PvE) or maybe even Templar tank (PvE)
Yes, I can only play one toon, one build at a time. Takes a very long time to properly test these.
Can this build be used successfully in pve as well?
I absolutely love this build for pvp. Been raising a dumner dk to replace my v14 nord dk, but I really love that extra 6% damage reduction for the racial passive, it makes a difference when it comes to tankiness. Would want to figure out a good light armor pvp build that could work for group content with my dumner.

Deltia,
Have you ever thought of running 4 storm knight ( legs, chest, neck, sheild) and 5 martial knowledge? You’d still get the passives for light but with a large amount of armor. Also both sets add a ton of spell dmg. Just some thoughts as I don’t have the dough to get storm knight atm. Maybe it would work great on a sorc pvp? Thoughts?
Thanks,
Zippy
I want a solid build to level with where I can look like a warrior not so much a mage type and level into a solid pvp build. Could I use the skills from this to level? Waiting on console release.
Do you think this would be the best build for a heavy armor sword and shield dragon knight or another build?
Well I’m using sword and shield and heavy armor so yes I think.
Deltia, what are the champion points running on this right here?
Same as Laceration.
Hey can you post a clear photo of your skill bars
Hey Deltia. Would this build also fit whit an Orc? Or is it really better if you are an Dark elf
Hey Deltia. Would this build also fit whit and Orc. or is it much better whit Dark elf? Thanks…
Will this build be good for group play??
Deltia,
First off I’m extremely grateful for your website. I’m new to ESO and your website has been amazingly helpful, so thank you so much! I predominately PVE. I enjoy questing, farming, etc. I really like AoE farming. I’m looking for a class, race, build combo that can do well with AoE and also survive being in the middle of packs of mobs. I’d greatly appreciate your input. Thanks. – Bazenga
Mostly regular PVE. Not necessarily solo’ing Major bosses like in your above video.
Stamina based Nightblade with siphoning attacks. 1
Love your builds just wish more had a skill point progression chart showing generally which skills to get first. That said sometimes there is more fun in exploring for myself rather than following a guide however well structured. Keep up the awesome guides!!!
Can this build be used to tank in vet dungeons?
Finally! A DK build using 1h + S with Heavy Armor! Thanks so much! Is there any way to work in 2h has the secondary though?
I believe 2h sword is more based around a stamina build.
Instead of Defensive Stance, is there any other skill that you can take? Btw pretty much flawless build, keep up the good work 😀
The reason why defensive stance is so awesome though is the fact that it mitigates 5% of damage when blocking and reduced the cost of blocking by 5%. So it’s really about sustain.
I don’t want to be a dark elf vampire could i go high elf and barrier instead of swarm on second bar?
*or
I have been using this build for a long long time on my nord dk tank. I ran engine guardian, footman, whitestrakes, double sword and board. and switched up some abilities for my tank abilities.
Front bar: heroic slash, sword and board taunt, choking talons, defensive stance, xtended chains
Back bar: igneous shield, inner fire, hardened armor, vigor, coagulting blood.
Ever since the IC patch I had used magika on my dk but now i need the most stam i can get. I have not been very succesful ever since this patch and would really appreciate if you made an update vid so I can have a self sustain tank that can also do damage. Before the patch I made an emperor run in pvp and I also ran trials as the tank. By the way love the builds.
Thanks
Yeah I’ll be updating this, but the T7 build is pretty up to date for DK tanking.
Just got to VR1 with my first character. Following your NBA Specter build and it’s a blast. Ready to make dark elf magicka based dk, was thinking of running 2 heavy the rest light armor, sword and board/destro staff. Does this even sound viable to you?
NB*
Yeah with the new healing from Burning Embers and Deep Breath you should do fine.
