PvP mage builds

After 1.6 it seems that stamina has become the new meta for pvp. Which classes do you think have the strongest magicka builds that are able to compete with them in pvp?

    Magika is pretty terrible in PvP. Even Pre-1.6, being a caster wasn't very good.

    There is no melee magika weapon, which I think is the biggest flaw. Even at a range, Bows are a better option the Destro staves. If you intend on using light armor and being magika based, you probably need to be a healer to be viable.

    Sorcs are the new meta in PvP. Whatchutalkingbout deathpandex. :wink:

    You don't need a crazy build bro. Shield Up, Crushing, Bolt Escape, Pass gas in the enemies general direction and watch them burn. Rinse, Repeat.

    Sorc's are good in PVP because of their multiple movement abilities. They are the only class that get's a "on demand" run speed modifier and a ability that moves them 15m stunning everyone in their path. Their DPS is also decent in PVP (ONLY PVP) because they can "stack" dmg to burst on someone at once and as everyone know's spike dmg is king for PVP.

    Lol wut? I destroy stamina builds with my magicka based NB, always have always will. Don't get me wrong, stamina builds DO hit harder for sure. Though it doesn't matter how hard they hit when they can't hit me because I'm invisible, run a million miles an hour, have the best stun and cc in the game (IMHO), dodge everything, and run damage shields. My sustain is ridiculous and I still can reach 2500 spell damage. I MIGHT make a slight change and run 2700 spell damage but I'd have less sustain, so idk. I'll test that out later.
