The Magicka Dragonknight class in The Elder Scrolls Online is an excellent choice for PvP, as this class is capable of dealing a lot of damage while also being super tanky. This post contains a meta high damage-focused build that can be used for pretty much everything: duels, battlegrounds, open-world PvP in Cyrodiil, and even zerg surfing.
