NB Vs Templar DW/Bow

Troponin

I was curious, from a dps standpoint, which class would be best. With Templar, the only real synergy you have is Radiant Aura, but that is pretty powerful, with the potential to do some light healing (Magicka will be an issue if you try to heal more than once at a time).

With NB, healing is not burst and can be a little strained. However, NB has some nice passives.

If you want to use weapons, class skills won't be very efficient.
Templars do have class passive that increases weapon damage though (Balanced Warrior). NBs have no synergy with weapons whatsoever. Unless you equip some class skills like Sap Essence. But those have to be casted and you won't have that much magicka if you want to use Dark Cloak, for example.

But yeah, I also thought that NB will be better... You have "charge" to get to melee range where you can attack with weapon skills to dump stamina and with concealed weapon/assassin's blade for magicka.. However, in stamina builds there's no magicka for that.

Actually, nightblades have some of the strongest synergy effects with stamina builds. While they don't have pasive weapon damage like templars (which is severely limited by running into caps anyway), they do have 30% passive stamina regen, 30% potion effectiveness (really for competitive dps situations where you'll have buff potions running most of the the time) 10% crit damage and at least 3% crit rating with one assassination ability slotted and haste, which depending on how the proposed changes to stamina builds will turn out, may actually be useful in the future.

I'm a nb and we are the last class to pick at the moment unless u only want to do pve then its still the last but not as bad. Just go dk and win all the time. Bow is cool in pvp but not the best in pve. Sorcs are awesome with bow cause they have a wep buff.

Actually as a Templar DPS, I am last picked.
