Do you mainly play magicka or stamina in PvP?

I want to have a rough measurement of how many people play stamina versus magicka. Obviously the forums represent only a small portion of the playerbase, but I'd still like some kind of rough data to reference regardless. Remember, I'm only looking for what you MAINLY play. So if you spend 80% of your time on magicka, answer as such. Thanks all :)

    Mostly magicka, but I'm working on some stamina builds. Hoping to avoid the traps of becoming a classless weapon skills only build.

    *Edit: that reads like I'm saying stam players have no class. To clarify, I'm just saying it's difficult to not rely on weapon skills over class-based skills

    Yeah, Templars have some good options. And NB's. Ideally, I'd like to have 1 weapon skill per bar. Not that there's anything wrong with weapon skills, but for me I just feel like the class is lost if all I use are class buffs.

    I have a stamblade that I found to be no fun at all. Retired.
    My magplar is very strong -- too strong; I can do stupid stuff and not only survive but kill people. He just runs vMA now.
    I am leveling a stamplar and find it boring; he has the utility of the magplar plus crit rush and dizzying swing. Level 46 and probably retired already.
    My hybrid tank is mostly for lols in pvp. Crafter.

    So my sorc and my magicka DK are my mains. Go ahead, call me a masochist.

    Do you have one besides Health Templar? My BS Templar is really just for dungeons. I'd love some more health options but I don't think ZOS is going to deliver.

    Magic because I always wanted to play an Argonian summoner - however if I was smart and wanted to win it would be stamina spamming dizzying strike.

    Gave magicka the ol' college try, but I've always had a soft spot for melee characters. I typically play melee in all RPG games. Tried magicka NB and magicka Sorc. Had a lot of fun trying to "mage", but it seems that I really just like to beat people over the head with large, blunt objects.

    Health builds are such AIDS to fight against with how strong healing is right now.

    I'm best at stamblade now, but I don't find it fun. I started PvPing as stam, got tired of being like everyone else, went magicka, learned PvP on magicka, went back stam, had the same identity crisis, and am back on my magicka characters. Lol

    Magicka, since I prefer playing with class abilitites without being forced to play with external abilities.
    Something that Wrobel and his team needs to understand is that it's not players job to find work arounds for builds
    just because the lack of class morph design.

    It's hard to believe that the design team doesn't see the potential for class diversity in ESO.
    Their decisions make ESO players picking a ressource instead picking a class and that's a problem.

    Same, tried out stamina a few times recently and personally for me I found it comically easy (I found that you maybe didn't, not putting words in your mouth) so went back to magic but at the early start of the game I was a bow stamina Nightblade

    Though I had a foray with stam DK that lasted a month, and have always had my stam gankblade since I cannot even remember, most of my chars are magicka spec and have been since they were made.
