ONE BAR STAMINA DRAGONKNIGHT PVE DPS BUILD

There are no passives you need to skip with this build, you should get all of them.

The difference between best and worst race is about 5% of DPS and there is no content in the entire game that you'd be blocked from completing because of choosing a bad race.

Best race for 12-man content - Dark Elf

Best race for 4-man content - Khajiit

Other decent options: Orc, High Elf, Wood Elf, Imperial, Redguard

Most of the time you should use The Thief Mundus, which increases your Critical Chance

In 4-man dungeons, you'll most likely need to use The Lover Mundus, which increases your penetration. It won't be needed if your tank is using penetration sets like Crimson Oath's Rive, but in the end it's more optimal for the tank to brings sets that boost other stats like Weapon Damage (Powerful Assault, Vestments of Olorime), Critical Damage (Lucent Echoes), or provide important debuffs (Turning Tide) while you bring the penetration yourself, especially since the penetration provided by the tank could end up wasted if other Damage Dealers in your group are Light Armor users (Concentration passive) or Arcanists (Splintered Secrets passive)

For dummy parsing, The Warrior Mundus is the best because you're already getting enough Critical Chance from Highland Sentinel

• Braised Rabbit with Spring Vegetables - Max Health, Max Stamina. Use it for most of regular content
• Artaeum Takeaway Broth - Max Health, Max Stamina, Stamina Recovery. You'll have to use it to sustain if your group isn't providing the Combustion synergy from Energy Orb or Mystic Orb, or if you can't sustain for any other reason. Dubious Camoran Throne is a cheaper alternative
• Lava Foot Soup-and-Saltrice - Max Stamina, Stamina Recovery. Use it for practice dummy parsing
