Ele/war? I need some help...

I made an e/w, and I was wondering what type of magic/warrior skill I should focus on...I've read in a few places that I should focus on fire magic, and swords. Other places I've read that I should focus on earth magic and axes, or fire magic and air magic and hammers. I was just wondering...what's effective for both PvP and PvE? I want to focus on nuking more than tanking, but still be able to hold my own when someone gets too close.

E/W isn't such a hot combo. With your low armor and lack of maxed out weapon mastery, you're better off running like a sissy whenever a warrior decides to come rage in your face. I could see maybe using some tactics shouts for party defense, but earth wards are generally better.

Fire is pretty good for long range AoE, especially searing flames, if you have nightfall. Fire is by far the most common type of ele, mostly because it's kinda simple and everyone likes to see things burning. There are many capable spells in earth and air as well, with water running a more supportive role.

There is no build that's effective for both PvE and PvP. Very different rules apply, and I would never reccomend running a PvE build in PvP.

Searing flames works everywhere.

Thunderclap + conjure lightning guarantees kills. Always.
