    I won't call StamNB the weakest class in PvP (they are somewhat useless in High End BGs though) but I kill them the easiest and usually facepalm when I see one in my team in random BGs.

    nah stam nightblades are good i personally torn between mag sorc and mag nightblade but nightblade gets the vote from me becouse i mentioned pretty often that they are the only class with a hard counter becouse all their skills get reflected lets see what others choose i love to do such polls :D
    personally use my sorc as stamina by the way

    This isn't how this works.

    Personally, I find my easiest kills are bad stamblades. But I don't think anyone would say stamblades are in a bad place right now. And good stamblades kill me more often than any other class.

    This poll is BS. PvP comes in many forms. for 1v1, stamDK is top tier. For open world its garbage tier, so I might aswell select my own class to show my bias to everyone :trollface:

    Weakest class is definitely Magblades but as of now, only the good ones remained Magblades while the rest rerolled to stamblades. Resulting in a surplus of bad stamblades.

    It's usually because a lot of people do not play patient and forget the stalk and strike. stamblades are highly effective if played correct. Too many try the Leroy Jenkins approach and get wrecked, usually Magicka mains like myself.. ( *I learned the hardway).

    I only play Battlegrounds, so I think MagNB is the weakest. Both NB specs just feel out of place there, except if they are made into brawlers (StamNB) or tank-healers (MagNB), even then they aren't too special.

    what most people forget stamina gets a bonus on attacks from behind with a 2.3 multiplier thats ridiculous. magicka is not even close as effective

    As a Stamblade player for years, the ones that i instantly kill are bowblades. I usually run high stam regen build, so my WD is around 3,7k buffed which isnt much. But these bowblades die too easy, its like im killing npc mobs.

    DKs, Templars, Stamwardens are hardest ones i guess. They are usually more tanky with burst.

    Also before strife nerf, i had a hard time against some magblades. But prob because of my build, they just suck blood to full health. But since i couldnt play after summerset, i dont know whats their situation. Prob sucks because if you aoe the cloak, its over for them :D

    All nightblades, not because the class is weak but more the way that 90% of the ppl play it.
    Otherwise I think that stamDk almost doesnt bring anything to the group.

    Wut. One of the best players on PS4 NA is a magden, and magsorcs still do well. DPS magNBs are not in a great spot (too many reflectable skills), but they are very good healers.

    StamNB (bow) builds are by far the weakest. I’ve been trying to make a team-oriented brawler bow build work (relying on minimal stealth and no snipe), but it just doesn’t have enough defence or damage. Ganking bowtards who exploit snipe are the worst players to have on your team, because they melt in seconds and leave you to take the brunt of the damage. Fortunately, you don’t see many of them in mid-high tier BGs.

    BG wise MagBlade definitely, most squishy class that suffers a lot from spin2win meta. Cloak is trash in BGs, same as shade. When you take those two away magblade is as good as dead. Magplars, wardens, DKs and even sorcs (except of bolt escape) have their defences available all the time (e.g. when carrying a ball or totem) while magblade has nothing, not even mist form.
    Say no to Toxic Casuals!
    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.

    NBs are not weak, but they are squishy.

    You asked who can be demolished easily, so the least tanky class wins the poll.

    To be honest, one can make stamblade brawler that is pretty much as tanky as stamdk but with more damage..

    Stamblade is the most popular class, so youll see a lot of bad people playing it. The class in reality is actually top-tier and one of the best.

    Magblade is def in the roughest spot PvP wise for BGs/open world. Magicka in general is in a tough spot right now, but of all the mag classes, i think MagNB has it the hardest.

    mag templar
    In Battlegrounds, I find fighting other Magplar DD to be the easiest.
    1. Next to none of them build for damage.
    2. Rarely do any apply pressure, almost never when alone.
    3. They nearly always run SNB and end up sitting on that bar.
    4. A lot of them are mechanically and situationally challenged forcing them into running mists (Not knocking mists itself, but it's use in BG's is a massive 'ez clap' indicator for me)
    5. Most Templar rotations are "tank, heal, tank, heal, (ult comes up) dot, ult drop -- repeat".
    6. Many Templars I see just don't cleanse enough and get cooked.

    That's not who I kill the most as others have said about class population but it's definitely the easiest for me as a Magplar main.

    Only applies to DD.

    That bonus you speak of does not work in PVP. It was removed a long time ago, I think One Tamriel? It does work in PVE however.

    In open world, yeah stamblade is top tier, but it's quite the opposite in BGs. That stealth sniper style doesn't work effectively in a team game mode, and having them on your team virtually guarantees a loss if you're playing against competent opponents. They will get chained or leashed, chased down by stamsorcs, beamed by magplars, executed by s2w, and just overall rekt by aoe. This leaves the brawler playstyle as a much better option, and although it can be very strong, it can be difficult to play with only a few high MMR stamblades able to do so effectively in PC NA.
