Best Companion for Magicka Dragonknight DPS Pure Class Build in ESO

Every Companion can fulfill every role in the game and help you enjoy ESO more by clearing content faster or by simply interacting with them and their charming personality! There are various Builds you can use for every available ESO Companion!
As a DPS focused character my recommendation is to bring along a Tank or Healer Companion!

A Crafted Set that reduces the cooldown of your Companions abilities, improving their damage and overall effects and assisting you further in combat.
