This is my guide to Magic Dragonknight, it does not require Maelstrom Weapons and I believe this is the strongest I have had my Magic Dragonknight yet! Please Enjoy!

Race & Stats: Dunmer was the go to race before Shadow of the Hist DLC, now it is the strongest it has ever been, no other choice but Dunmer!.

 

These are Buffed stats with Spell Power Pot

As i said before this is a non Maelstrom Weapon build, there is only 1 other option to this build and that is using Inallible Aether weapons if you have them.

I just put this together so I still need to make a few pieces gold, and I have not gotten a Divines Valkyn Head otherwise id be using that.[/center]

5 pieces of Twice Born Star (Divines)
2 Valkyn Skoria (Divines)
4 Infallible Aether (Divines & Jewelry)
(Staves should be sharpened and should both have weapon dmg enchant)

When using 5 pieces of the Twice Born Star set, you must have the THIEF & SHADOW mundus’ chosen.

Skills: These are the skills I prefer but you could always choose your own morphs.

Sharpened Inferno Staff
Engulfing Flames
Inner Light
Burning Embers
Elemental Blockade
Molten Whip
Shooting Star (only used for the magick bonus, and on the twin fight in vMOL)
Sharpened Lightning Staff
Molten Armaments
Inner Light
Rearming Trap
Flames of Oblivion
Eruption
Standard of Might (this is the ultimate you will use for almost every encounter)

Skill Rotation: This is the basic Magic Dragonknight Rotation build, I dont see any other way to improve it, you may prefer to use X dot before Y dot, but regardless, if you can keep your dots up 100% and whip that whip your dps will be fine!

On a single target fight I will usually buff up with my Spell Power Pot, Turn on my Molten Armaments, Drop my Rearming Trap, Eruption, Flames of Oblivian, Standard of Might, Swap to my front bar, Medium Weave, Blockade of Fire, Medium weave, Engulfing Flames, Medium Weave, Burning Embers, Whip, Whip, Whip, Whip, Weave, Blockade of fire, Weave, Engulfing Flames, Weave, Burning Embers, Swap to back bar, and start the rotation over again. If you know adds are coming, save your Standard for the add phase.

For AOE fights, I throw down my Blockade of Fire and Eruption, pop my molten armament and start channeling my lighting heavy attack on the add with most priority.
As you can see it is a very simple rotation, nothing far from the basic Magic DK rotation.

Miscellaneous Notes: You don’t have to start off with your spell power pots on most fights, but I do use them after my molten armaments runs out, I dont waste time reaplying molten armaments unless I know there will be adds to use my lighting heavy attack aoe.

Here are some dps screen shots:
I will update this guide with new parses as I get them and continue to improve this Guide.

 

This is a bloodspwan test, no buffs, and no ele drain, ran out of magic at the end or it of been 32k+

This is the final boss in vMOL, it was an 8:14 fight and I had a few mistakes in this rotation but it is pretty top notch, and on par with most Stamina builds.
SORRY FOR CRAPPY IMAGE, I WASNT PLANNING ON MAKING A BUILD AND I HAD TO GET THIS OFF A VIDEO
