✭✭MagickaStamina = I can kill...
Magica: I can heal, I can tank, I can kill, I can support, I can attack you from 28 mts without a bow/staff, I can attack you in CQ without a sword, hammer, axe or dagger, I can WB you, then run away with all the speed I sap from you, I can use Molag Kena and shoot a superb assasin will, I can be invisible all the time, I can move in stealth faster than you, I can enhace my speed while healing myself and hurting you, I can...Edited by Xvorg on 5 December 2015 18:55Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
Used the wrong method with the wrong technique5 -

✭✭✭HybridI am a Hybrid. I must say I really love playing a full magicka. Then I only use the class skills which give me a great and fun set of skills.
But currently I play a hybrid with only bow as a weapon. damage is not that high, you can't kill DK's who use flappy wings but it has great survivability and is fun to play. It's more a support or scout role tbh and ideal as a scrollcarrier.٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."0 -

I'm glad that you explained how you use your hybrid build. I was wondering about that.0 -
JDar✭✭✭✭✭MagickaI think it's more fun to play magicka nightblade, but on the other hand I'd have a lot more fun if I could do as much easy damage from elementary combos as stamblades do.0

This one does not advocate for any class to be nerfed. There are far deeper underlying issues then a simple "Class Imbalance". The Champion System is the problem. Not classes.
Please read this before creating yet another nerf thread.

Angarato✭✭✭Both equallyI love my stamblade but its kinda limited cause forced into using 2hander for rally.
lvling a magicka nb atm and its quite fun. i dont know why all the hate goes towards stamblade cause my magblade feels stronger, not in raw damage but in overall Kill/death ratio and surviveablity0 -

Hybrid as in:
light armor: 2 pieces Oblivions foe + a bow Oblivions foe
medium armor: 5 pieces willows path
All armor echanted with prisma thing hakijdo to get 3 stats
All divined
All points into stamina, and in CP I regulate more magicka regen/stamina regen
No surprise attack, but concealed weapon for extra speed bfff when stealthed or cloaked (doesn't work always as it's bugged)
The regeneration of magicka and exytra magicka due to prism allows me to cloak more often then a full stamblade. Also the concealed weapon gives a nice boost when doing it.
As mundus I use magicka regeneration (and sometimes warrior if I want a bit more damage)
Skills for damage: flawless dawnbreaker passive+relentless focus+camo hunter+weapondamage potion20%+focused aim.
The rest are buffs, debuffs and run away buffs.
It's fun for defending keeps, or running with groups. You can solo, but forget about DK's who have flappy wings because I only use bow. I use it more as a support role.
I run: Caltrops, purge, vigor, barrier to help people out.Edited by Knootewoot on 7 December 2015 10:36٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

Kutsuu✭✭✭✭✭Staminaedit: I derped with the selection, meant to choose Magicka.
Stamina damage is great, and ganking from stealth can be satisfying. However, I feel Magicka is more fun to play and capable in skilled hands. I would rather have a "small" opener on people, and watch their despair as they realize they have no chance, than just 2-shot them with stamina.
In my stam builds, there are at least 4 abilities + ultimate for each bar already decided for me to be optimal, with 1 on each for for "flavor" or preference. There are some odd duck builds that are different, but at least for me they don't fit my play style. With Magicka, I have several different completely viable playstyles/builds, and I have about 10 abilities that I want to fit onto each bar. It's frustrating and endearing at the same time, but the most important thing is that it never gets old.Edited by Kutsuu on 7 December 2015 16:58PC/NA

TheRubiksCube✭✭✭StaminaI'm a little biased here since I've only played as a stamina NB, but I really like how much damage I can do as a stamina NB. I plan on converting my dark elf stamina nightblade into a magika nightblade as soon as my khajit nightblade vets out. I do wonder though if I can still 4-6 hit people if I was a magika nightblade.

✭MagickaPlay both, magicka is more fun playstyle. More unique. Stam is mostly similar to other stam builds0 -
MidnightBlue✭✭✭Can't compare and pick a particular option yet. I have a stamblade as my main, and I am leveling a mageblade. Haven't tried her out yet in pvp much, but whatever little pvp I did was fun. Need to level her up to v16 and then the fun really starts.0

✭✭Both equallyI like both, but run around as a stamina build at the moment.
Stamina Nightblade with a heavy focus on magicka reg, so I can cloak often.
Since I´m melee only, I don´t care about having range abilities like funnel, but having sap essence would be nice.
Sadly Ultimates don´t care about mighty champion passives, so you will always deal less damage with them compared to a magicka build.
If it weren´t for the change of concealed weapon, making it being absorbed by harness, I would actually run magicka build i think.R.I.P Dawnbreaker / Auriel´s Bow
