Description

Fireheart is a close combat Magicka Dragonknight PVE Build, relying on strong flame DOT damage. The unique nature of the Magicka Dragonknight and its many flame based attacks, make Fireheart a fun and potent class to use.

The build is balanced around both solo and group gameplay. Fireheart is an excellent option for players that like the idea of creating a Fire Mage and destroying enemies with strong fire based attacks.

For a Stamina Dragonknight PVE Build, you can take a look at Venomous.

If you are a new player, you can take a look at my Dragonknight Beginner Guide.

If you are looking for a Solo PVE Build for Arenas like the Maelstrom Arena and Vateshran Hollows, take a look at my Magicka Dragonknight Solo Build.

You can find more Builds in the Dragonknight Builds page.
