I run both, and like I said the mag class fares better. Stam builds didn't have an advantage for months. They have a couple ults that are based off stam, and every other ult is based off mag. Before that every single ult was based off mag except the dks dragon leap. With dawnbreaker also the ult basically every person thinks is OP you have to get in front of the person/persons you want to use it on, and drop it. With soul assault which btw hits much, much harder than dawnbreaker You can hide behind a zerg spamming it, cuz it costs 100 ult, and 85 on a sorc. If you try to block Dawnbreaker it takes about 5% of ur stam. Not a big deal. Try blocking the full duration of Soul Assault, which is your only defense most of the time on a stam build. Even 1v1 it drains your stam so much that you're now forced to finish the fight with low resources, which is a killer on stam builds. Other mag builds can just shield thru it no problem, cuz their survivability is much, much better than stam builds. Im not sure we are all playing the same game here, cuz stam is not, and was not op in pvp at all. They do more damage, so pve im sure theyre better damage dealers, but survivability is lacking compared to a mag build by far. The devs should try to balance those 2 aspects, but obviously it's not easy, or else it would have been done.
I've got 8 toons, some stam, some mag...and I don't have any clue what you're talking about. Stam is by far easier.

maybe in pve doing damage. anyone I play with who have been playing mmorpgs for a long, long time will tell you the same exact thing. mag has much better survivability, and stam can pull out more dmg. in a ava pvp game the one with better survivability will usually win, becuz the longer the fight goes the more chance there is for it to not be 1v1 anymore
Soul Assault is perfectly fine.
L2P with all due respect.
It is the templar/sorcerer's counter to the broken nightblade incapacitating strike and to the general OP status of stamina builds.
Dawnbreaker of Smithing is physical damage right now and there is no realiable low cost high dps ultimate for sorcerers.
Ice Comet ? You will just block and forget it.
It needs to stay the way it is now.

Not at all.... Stam isn't able to spam 1 button to stay alive like mag can. Like I said everyone I play with will say the same thing, and most of us have been playing mmorpgs for close to 18 years now. I think we know what were talking about.

L2P you say? That's funny, cuz im pretty sure im a better player than you are in pvp. Incap makes a distinct sound, and can be easily dodged, and dawnbreaker can also be easily blocked, and doesn't drain almost all of your stamina, like this dumb excuse for an ult soul assault. it needs to be able to be bashed, and the person needs to be able to be cc'd during it, and the dmg needs to be toned down a tad, or every single mag class who wants another I win button other than healing ward will be running it.
It looks like stam builds need to start investing in a little something called ... SUSTAIN.
Let's be honest. Most of you don't know what a stamina cost reduction glyph even looks like because you're too busy admiring your 4K weapon damage. Few if any of you know where a serpent mundus is, or even what it does. All of you are running DPS, proc damage, and tank sets, instead of sets that have all stam recovery and cost reduction. Stam recovery drinks help out as well.
It's time to balance your builds out. Magicka players have been running Seducer sets, cost reduction glyphs, atronach mundus stone, vampire passives, and recovery drinks since dark brotherhood came out. Magicka damage tanked, and you've been using them as AP piñatas since. That time is over.
Soul Assault is perfectly fine.

Umm lol? The only mag toon that has one button survivabilty is magplar. Rest of them are not even close to stam survivabilty. My stamblade can out run bolting sorc, usualy with just one or two dodge rolls + sprint with bow and than cloak few times i can escape from any zerg (with shadow image it would be even easier). Even without cloak, combination of eternal hunt, vigor, roll, rally, roll, vigor arround any terrian is just hilarious. Without magplar or few cursing sorcs it is impossible to kill me. My stamblade survived much more situations 1vX than my magplar or sorc as they both can only block dmg not avoid them. One roll mitigates completly even 200 lethal arrows or charges. One shield or heal can at best mitigate 2 arrows. Also shielding and healing doesnt change your situation at all as you stand still most of the time rooted or snared waiting to get wrecked by dizzy swing spam. Roll dodge not only mitigates every single target non chanelled skill but also removes roots and ignores snares and this is the most important thing as standing in the middle of enemy group will lead you only to death as there is no heal or shield that can last vs 3+ decent players. While with roll dodge you can mitigate completly most of the dmg now matter how many ppl attacks you + you can reposition your self behind wall, tree, rock whever you like. So yeah. This needs a counter just as shields have shieldbreaker, heals have defile and fasallas, dodge have now SA.

Lol what one button can mag spam and stay alive I'm confused. You can't mean healing ward half the time you don't even get the burst heal. plus if you are spamming healing ward you aren't doing any damage and healing ward isn't cheap you are draining your resources. And draining your stamina because they will cc once they realize what you are doing. Shields are strong but they are in no way better than dodge roll, cause not only does dodge roll avoid damage it can also be used to line of sight. Magicka has it's place and is really effective in its many situations, but for solo play stamina is just alot more survivable

Any mag build can spam healing ward, and if youre not dumb can get the heal on yourself its really not that hard. Also theres a very very small % of players wearing shieldbreaker, or fasallas, and last you can't spam dodge rolling unless you sacrifice a *** ton of your cp, and weapon damage basically gimping your character. keep trying, cuz you have no idea what you're talking about.
How it made it out of PTS?
1) It was introduced a bit later, not in 2.6.0 and has been tested less than other changes
2) 90% of PTS feedback is from people who haven't even played there but just repeat somehting they've heard. Cayn anyone believe that "2h ult OP" outcry now?
3) Almost everyone duelled on the PTS. If you're good and know what's coming you can deal wit soul assault. The bigger problem only starts when you get Xv1'ed with it
Like being hit with 2-3 dawnbreakers at a time wouldnt kill you. If not, 3 SAs wouldnt kill you to. Maybe its not the best design but at least magica has now ulti that can be used in a fight and is worth sloting.
