Role Description: Magicka DPS

Magicka refers to the mystical power employed to cast Magicka Skills, and is akin to magic points (MP or mana) utilized in other RPGs. Altmer (High Elves), Breton, and Dunmer (Dark Elves) possess a higher maximum magicka in comparison to the other races.

Class Description: Arcanist

Harnessing the arcane energies, ancient runes, and lost tomes of power, the Arcanist is a potent new class empowered by the enigmas of Apocrypha and the forbidden wisdom of Hermaeus Mora. The Arcanist is capable of wielding devastating, restorative, or defensive magic, making them a formidable force to be reckoned with.

Recommended Race: Altmer (High Elf)

Altmer (High Elves) are attuned to the world of Magicka rather than Stamina, making them an ideal choice for players who wish to specialize in Magicka DPS or healing. Their increased Spell Damage and Max Magicka make them powerful spellcasters, relying on staffs to unleash devastating magical attacks. High Elves are a perfect fit for players looking to create mage-like characters.

Role Description: Magicka DPS

Class Description: Dragonknight

Unleash the cleansing flame upon your enemies and stand strong against their attacks with the Dragonknight, an unyielding Class that dominates the battlefield with its fiery prowess. Through the use of abilities that harness the power of the earth and mythical beasts, the Dragonknight Class enables you to emerge victorious in prolonged battles, all while overwhelming your foes with devastating Fire spells. With the Dragonknight at your disposal, you have the power to wreak havoc with molten metal and scorching flames.

Recommended Race: Khajiit

The Khajiit Racial Passives provide a versatile set of bonuses that can suit any playstyle, although they may not be as potent as those of other Races. Their improved Sneak and Pickpocket chances make them adept at stealth and thievery, which can come in handy during quests, heists, and PvP. Opting for the Nightblade Class can make Khajiits even more elusive in PvP due to the reduced detection range.

Moreover, Khajiits have a natural affinity for landing critical strikes, which can boost their damage and healing output. It’s recommended to equip gear that increases Critical Strike Chance to maximize this bonus. Overall, while not specializing in any particular role, Khajiits offer a range of useful perks for players who want to mix and match different playstyles.
